I agree completely. I think that requiring an exam in these subjects to obtain a software engineering license would be absurd - my point is that I don't think its any more absurd than licensing software "engineers" under the PE license.
I'm not really in favor of a professional license for software "engineering" - but if there were, I'd say it should stand completely apart from the PE.
The PE exam writers should feel free to include whatever software questions they like as they license, say, civil engineers, but they should stay in the business of civil engineering.
