+GNOME Software displays an age rating tile on the details page for an application. This shows what age range 
the application should be suitable for, based on different kinds of content which the application has 
declared it contains. This information is summarised in a format similar to the game or film rating 
certificates for your country.

+GNOME Software displays a safety tile on the details page for an application. This summarises information 
about whether the app can be considered safe to install and run, or whether caution may be required before 
trusting it.

+This tile combines information about the permissions which the app requests when it runs (such as permission 
to read your files), with information about how the app was developed. Free software applications, where the 
source code is publicly readable, can be more secure than proprietary ones, as they can be audited.

+The dialog which appears when the tile is clicked lists the different permissions the app requests, plus 
some information about its license and runtime.
