The person who wrote the parent is obviously a prude. Do it. Do you really think someone's going to come in after the fact and go 'yes, this developer here, its all his fault. He conceived and created the whole thing'? Get a grip on reality, thats why your company has a legal department. Thats why you HAVE a boss. It isn't your place to second guess every decision that is made. Do your job. Don't ask questions. If you don't like the work you're being asked to do, quit. End of story.
