Package db-ip lite database

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?

>From https://db-ip.com/db/lite.php

  The free DB-IP Lite database by DB-IP is licensed under a Creative

  You are free to use this database in your application, provided you 
  give attribution to DB-IP.com for the data.
  
  In the case of a web application, you must include a link back to 
  DB-IP.com on pages that display or use results from the database. 
  You may do it by pasting the HTML code snippet below into your code :
