Ask HN: Software guarantees for users

4 pointsby lshalmost 7 years ago
I want my software to offer guarantees to it&#x27;s users, similar to permissions.<p>Guarantees like:<p>* software is distributed under a common open source licence<p>* software comes with&#x2F;without advertising<p>* software does&#x2F;doesn&#x27;t transmit identifying information to third parties<p>* software does&#x2F;doesn&#x27;t write files to disk<p>* memory usage won&#x27;t exceed N MB of RAM<p>etc. As fine or as coarse grained as necessary.<p>I would like to share my own guarantee spec with others and allow others to vet it for correctness or offer their own version of my spec they feel is more accurate.<p>I would like to re-use existing standards if they exist.<p>Does something like this exist??
