I assure you, software engineers have zero say in the licensing decisions beyond the size of a small corp. It's all the management and lawyers at work.

In fact, in the US, if you get a licensed engineer to do an inspection or design job, they will also often include a list of disclaimers to avoid liability. You often have to negotiate the lack of said liability waiver in advance for a higher fee. Note, liability waivers don't protect from negilence, just all other scenarios.
