http://lite.ip2location.com/database-ip-countryYes, they claim that here. But:
-> on the bottom of the page (the above link) they
write:
"License Agreement: General Terms and Conditions for the database licensing."
linking to my quoted document
http://lite.ip2location.com/terms-of-use-> if you actually download the file IP2LOCATION-LITE-DB1.BIN.ZIP when
pressing the download button (links to
http://download.ip2location.com/lite/)
and you open the zip file, you'll find a LICENSE_LITE.TXT Which says:
8-< --- --- --- --- --- --- 8-< --- --- ---
