Yes, it’s a BSD license with advertising clause. Theoretically you
cannot link GPL software without exception to it; however the library is
merely using it as data and is not strictly depending on the database,
so my guess would be that this is OK.

If possible, ktorrent and libgeoip should use the same database to avoid
duplication.
