Evidence claims

[sourced_fact] README describes 'A professional writing environment for screenplays, novels, stage plays, audio plays, comic books, and more'. · locator: repository README / metadata source
[sourced_fact] GitHub reports GPL-3.0; last push 2026-10-13. · locator: LICENSE file source
[upstream_claim] Research review verdict at export: reviewed (as of 2026-10-17). Recorded by the research pipeline, not a hub review outcome; evidence.review stays unreviewed until an independent reviewer records one.
[sourced_fact] README: Story Architect is distributed under the GNU General Public License v3.0. · locator: README, License section source
[sourced_fact] README describes the app as an open-source application that helps authors develop a story from the first idea to a production-ready document, covering screenplays, TV series, novels, comic books, stage plays, audio plays, presentations and free-form text. · locator: README introduction source
[sourced_fact] README lists outlines, cards, timelines, mind maps, series plans and screenplay breakdowns among its planning tools (relevant to series bibles and T03 breakdowns). · locator: README features source
[sourced_fact] README: third-party components and optional modules may have their own license terms; the repository references private cloud and commercial-feature submodules, so the GPL-3.0 label does not describe every module. · locator: README license and build sections source
