It's not the same, but it can be.

Bullying in closed source software is a company culture issue. Bullying in open source software can come from anywhere, and a good CoC won't necessarily fix it because outside community members can just bully from different accounts. But that also means bad company culture can't be fixed as easily as playing whack-a-mole in a FOSS project.
