I’ve done a lot of training and consulting on this, and CoC and license adoption have way different needs. A checkbox approach tends to leave people very unprepared for enforcement, especially the governance aspects.
I 100% agree, especially WRT enforcement. But I don't think the outcome has been folks become better informed, they've just reached for what's easiest without understanding the implications

I'm not necessarily arguing for a checkbox approach as much as somewhere that has a curated list of what the options even are, and talks a bit about the tradeoffs between them. Maybe with education that these are not legal docs and you can change them more freely

e.g. I think https://opensource.guide/code-of-conduct/ … is one of the better sources out there right now, and is where many folks are currently finding this at all, but it lists a total of 3 options, and gives no information about the differences other than "this one is really popular"
