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: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/UniversalScheduleStandard/UniversalScheduleStandard/main/README.md
- [upstream_claim] README claims it is an open standard with no licensing fees. · locator: README 'Features' · source: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/UniversalScheduleStandard/UniversalScheduleStandard/main/README.md
- [sourced_fact] docs.md: stripboard objects hold board objects, traditionally at least two, commonly named 'stripboard' and 'boneyard'. · locator: docs.md 'Breakdowns + Schedules' · source: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/UniversalScheduleStandard/UniversalScheduleStandard/main/docs/docs.md
- [sourced_fact] docs.md: the format deliberately excludes software settings and script text beyond what a breakdown uses. · locator: docs.md intro · source: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/UniversalScheduleStandard/UniversalScheduleStandard/main/docs/docs.md
- [sourced_fact] README licence text names Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 International. · locator: README 'License' · source: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/UniversalScheduleStandard/UniversalScheduleStandard/main/README.md
- [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: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/UniversalScheduleStandard/UniversalScheduleStandard/main/LICENSE.md
- [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.

Rights:
- documentation: license=unknown hosting=unknown redistribution=unknown modification=unknown training=unknown · UNRESOLVED CONFLICT: README badge and licence paragraph say CC BY-ND 4.0 (NoDerivatives), but LICENSE.md contains the CC BY 4.0 legal text and GitHub's API shows NOASSERTION. Do not assume modification or derivative rights until the maintainers clarify. The spec text and schema description fall under this unresolved licence. · evidence: https://github.com/UniversalScheduleStandard/UniversalScheduleStandard, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/UniversalScheduleStandard/UniversalScheduleStandard/main/README.md, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/UniversalScheduleStandard/UniversalScheduleStandard/main/LICENSE.md
- sample_assets: license=unknown hosting=unknown redistribution=unknown modification=unknown training=unknown · Sample .uss files exist in /samples (small and full sample schedules per README); they were not opened and no separate licence was found. · evidence: https://github.com/UniversalScheduleStandard/UniversalScheduleStandard
- code: license=unknown hosting=unknown redistribution=unknown modification=unknown training=unknown · 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. · evidence: https://github.com/UniversalScheduleStandard/UniversalScheduleStandard
