Exactly right. There are plenty of "engineers" doing professional engineering type work that aren't licensed and are happy to do so. They just don't delude themselves by calling themselves "engineers".
Frankly, I think the use of the term engineer by software designers is done specifically to gain some sort of instant credibility on the backs of a profession that is held to task far more than the software industry.
Why are programmers not willing to seperate the ones amongst themselves willing to accept responsibility for what they do, and those that would rather just go to work every day. Neither is better than the other.
I would think that some software designers would welcome the opportunity to distinguish themselves from the rest.
