Teachers have to be licensed and keep up on licensing.

Plumbers. Electricians. Lawyers. Doctors. Hell, I have to get a license to run my own business.

Why shouldn't software come with a branch for licenses if you're working with sensitive data?

    • It is, it just usually results in immediate calls to actual plumbers without anyone else finding out. Or it’s hidden behind some new drywall and paint until a different occupant finds out.
