Most (or all?) of iNaturalist's code is open source (typically MIT), see https://github.com/inaturalist https://github.com/inaturalist A lot of iNaturalist data is open data, see https://github.com/inaturalist/inaturalist-open-data https://github.com/inaturalist/inaturalist-open-data (It's up to each user to decide how they want to license their observations, photos, and sounds.

  You can download it from their github apparently. I just limp along with aurora, though.

  I wonder if the IzzyOnDroid repository [1] (for F-Droid) will accept them. Their inclusion policy is "slightly less strict than F-Droid’s" in their words, but reading it [2] doesn't immediately clarify to me if this one would be allowed or not.

You can also get all research-grade observation data from a DarwinCore archive[1] that's updated monthly and exported to GBIF[2]. They also have a pretty good API[3], and if you happen to want to use that in a python application or script, I maintain a client library[4] for it.

Do you know if this includes the model this commenter was talking about? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37516652 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37516652 Feels like that'd be useful for all sorts of stuff.
