I don’t know much about US legal frameworks but trust the decision is a good one and a reflection of iNat’s success. So congratulations I believe!
I was wondering if the legal change will have any affect on the resources offered for free or reduced cost (was it Google offering storage, I forget?) - are any of these resources dependent on the previous structure/partnerships? I imagine not.
Also, I remember early on when I got into iNat I read this post and found it really useful. It gave an idea about what the team is doing, some direction for the near future, and also set expectations about what changes/enhancements are plausible. Would it be possible for a similar post to be written in the coming months?
