+.. note::

+   Starting in ``parsedmarc`` 7.1.0, a static copy of the  `IP to Country Lite database`_ from IPDB is
+   distributed with ``parsedmarc``, under the terms of the `Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License`_. as
+   a fallback if the `MaxMind GeoLite2 Country database`_ is not installed  However, ``parsedmarc`` cannot install updated
+   versions of these databases as they are released, so MaxMind's databases and `geoipupdate`_ tool is still the
+   preferable solution.
+
+   The location of the database file can be overridden by using the ``ip_db_path`` setting.
