Ethics... and the lack of it.

[Alejandro Tejada]

Participants in this mail list are an outstanding example
of ethical behavior and responsability. For this reason,
i want to ask you about this "What-if scenario".

Suppose that you created for some person, some kind
of software for his small business. As time passed,
you add more features and functionality to this software.

Then this person, started to ask another developers
(who use other software platforms) about their budgets
to recreate what you have done for his business,
with the purpose of declare the value of the software
(that you create) as the highest budget proposal that
this person receives...

Is this another example of creative accounting: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creative_accounting
or is just plain wrong deceipt?

Did you, personally, have received the request to make
budgets and later you learn that this person is just
trying to get an estimated value for something that
this person already have?

I do not want to think that some of the stacks that
i have published, could have been used in this way...

Thanks in advance for your comments.

Alejandro
