How to add a disclaimer to my software?

There are two ways to add a disclaimer to your software. You can either add it to security.md file, or readme.txt file.

Copy the disclaimer text

To get a disclaimer text:

  1. Visit Programs page in mVDP platform
  2. Click on the disclaimer icon, and copy the text from that dialogue
  3. Add this text to your readme.txt or security.md file of your software

This is an example disclaimer, do not paste it to your software, as it includes an example link. You should copy the disclaimer straight from the mVDP platform as shown above.
