Besides the non free software part links about cp are already managed in
the law, it's illegal end of story, most of what a the CC introduce is
already in the law and part of it isn't in the law for good reasons.

But if someone misbehave their is nothing in reality that will not make
that person misbehave.
It's not either your fault or anyone's fault, it's just maybe the result
of discussion that went haywire between two people or because the said
person had a terrible day, etcetera.

A coc isn't either protecting you from any direct or indirect backslash
and it was already seen with the drupal community when they went against
their own coc to remove one of their developers.

Indeed, but you won't/can't force people to change.

If it's not set in stone, please then don't use it.
If you insist on one then may I suggest:
https://github.com/domgetter/NCoC
or
https://git.postactiv.com/postActiv/postActiv/blob/master/CodeOfConflict.md
or

I wish you all a good day.
