I work for IPinfo, focusing on data adoption and supporting the wider use of our free services.

The dataset the user is accessing (IPinfo Lite) is licensed under CC-BY-SA 4.0 and does not come with an End User License Agreement (EULA).

Most free IP geolocation databases in the market do include restrictive EULAs. These usually require each individual user to register, obtain their own copy of the database, and limit usage to themselves only. In many cases, sharing the data or keys outside of the original intended scope is considered a violation of license agreement. Because of these restrictions, some providers also offer paid redistribution licenses, which can be expensive and typically targeted at enterprises.

Our approach is different. By licensing IPinfo Lite under CC-BY-SA 4.0 WITHOUT an EULA, we allow anyone to share or redistribute the data freely, as long as proper attribution is given. The goal is twofold:

  - Make it easier for projects to use the data without legal barriers.
  - Ensure that any questions or issues about the data are directed to us rather than to project maintainers.
