Perhaps a good idea, but the ratio of honest to dishonest programmers would probably equate fairly closely to the ratio of any other group of professionals in society, so it's highly unlikely stop the problem.

I predict this will be ignored.

But it should not be. This is exactly the code of ethics that should be observed by all.

Good one.

I will make a page tomorrow and do a group mail.

Further comments welcome.

More:
1) I copied idea from ...
2) I copied code from ...
Both can be filled.

Isn't the programmer declaring that it is an original work, if he didn't mention sources in whatever copyright he used? Why should a programmer make such a solemn promise like witnesses in court room do? Well the defendants life depend on a testimony in court rooms. Most politicians screw us even though they make similar promises. The only "benefit" I see with the approach is to embarass him, "but you said it is pure", citing a source of claim. I don't see a reason to use such extreme measures when a human life is not involved (Doctors, captial punishment come to mind)

It is a Honor's Code, like in many other places. It is not for the people who read the signatures, it is more for the people who pledge it.
