ok
are we sure we can just redistribute the files? IIRC you normally have to register for that and download it with their tool.
I'm sure!
https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geolite2-free-geolocation-data#license
I've done the attribution, I've done the license CC-BY-SA-4.0.
Legally, I've met all the conditions.
every service that than is using the DB files installed via your package needs to have that attribution.
No services are installed with this package.
This probably means services like Amazone that provide a running service with something.
Otherwise, if we take it literally, then even using a registered and downloaded database together with mmdblookup, which clearly does not have this attribution in its code, is a violation.
this isn't the first CC-BY-SA package in openSUSE, so the case has probably been greenlit by the lawyers already.
