Evidence claims

[upstream_claim] README: the standard stores schedule and breakdown data as JSON, usable as a file or an API payload. · locator: README 'Details' source
[upstream_claim] README claims it is an open standard with no licensing fees. · locator: README 'Features' source
[sourced_fact] docs.md: stripboard objects hold board objects, traditionally at least two, commonly named 'stripboard' and 'boneyard'. · locator: docs.md 'Breakdowns + Schedules' source
[sourced_fact] docs.md: the format deliberately excludes software settings and script text beyond what a breakdown uses. · locator: docs.md intro source
[sourced_fact] README licence text names Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 International. · locator: README 'License' source
[sourced_fact] LICENSE.md contains the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License text (no NoDerivatives wording), and the GitHub API reports licence 'Other / NOASSERTION'. · locator: LICENSE.md heading 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.

Do not assume modification or derivative rights until the maintainers clarify. The spec text and schema description fall under this unresolved licence.
sample_assets	unknown	unknown	unknown	unknown	unknown	https://github.com/UniversalScheduleStandard/UniversalScheduleStandard Sample .uss files exist in /samples (small and full sample schedules per README); they were not opened and no separate licence was found.
code	unknown	unknown	unknown	unknown	unknown	https://github.com/UniversalScheduleStandard/UniversalScheduleStandard The repository holds documentation, images and samples rather than source code (root listing: .gitignore, LICENSE.md, README.md, docs, images, samples); the separate uss-validator repository was not inspected, so no code licence is asserted here.
