Does copyright law allow you to restrict use of your observations—the data, this is, not the photos?

Just to confuse things even more it’s unclear what exactly the “observation copyright” applies to, for example here I was told it only applies to additional text you add and not the observation as a whole (especially not time, place, username, taxon, etc.) https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/licensing-problem-for-paper-using-inat-data/38480/57

With that interpretation the answer would be no, you cannot restrict use of those data as the copyright does not apply to them (just to text that 99% of observations don’t even have). But that’s just one interpretation and I don’t think any of the old threads about it had a clear conclusion - GBIF obviously thinks the copyright applies to all the data.
