Licensing problem for paper using iNat data

I think @aspidoscelis had a good idea. Post a spreadsheet of the basic data that you downloaded from iNaturalist; observation #, community ID, location, and date. If a reader wants to use the same data the author did for calculations, he can. If he wants to check the origin of data, he can (though the observation number). This shouldn’t have licensing problems and it gets around the fact that iNaturalist observations are sometimes not permanent (whatever permanent may mean in digital data).
