Oh no! We didn't remind our users to be kind to each other!

How do you feel about Sqlite's code of conduct? Because if you don't like that, then you shouldn't be making moral statements in your own repositories.

This is also true of almost every other area of human effort, whether implicit or explicit. As a catch-all baseline, we have the various legal systems.
The fact that a significant proportion of the tech industry refuses point-blank to even discuss the idea of ethics is not a sign of superiority but immaturity.
