Hello Fedora Legal
Back in 2019, the new GeoLite2 license made the Maxmind GeoLite
database non-free, see bugzilla #1786211. As Carl George states in the
bug, there does exist a drop-in replacement from
db-ip.com, using the
same database format. According to its homepage, it uses a Creative
Commons license. Would it be acceptable for Fedora?
