Quite a few - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulation_and_licensure_in_en...

The issue is the word "engineer".

If you say "software developer" there is no problem. If you say "software engineer" in many places that has an additional implication of being a professional engineer.

No, the context of the thread is not about the word “engineer”, it’s about licensure for software development.
