Use 'GeoIP'/'GeoLite' branding in documentation and prose

MaxMind no longer ships the legacy products, so refer to the products as
'GeoIP' and 'GeoLite' rather than 'GeoIP2'/'GeoLite2' in prose. Technical
identifiers (packages, class names, filenames, edition IDs, hostnames,
URLs) are unchanged.

 This document contains guidance for Claude (and other AI assistants) when working with the GeoIP2-java codebase. It captures architectural patterns, conventions, and lessons learned to help maintain consistency and quality.
 
 ## Project Overview
 
 **GeoIP2-java** is MaxMind's official Java client library for:
-- **GeoIP2/GeoLite2 Web Services**: Country, City, and Insights endpoints
-- **GeoIP2/GeoLite2 Databases**: Local MMDB file reading for various database types (City, Country, ASN, Anonymous IP, ISP, etc.)
+- **GeoIP/GeoLite Web Services**: Country, City Plus, and Insights endpoints
+- **GeoIP/GeoLite Databases**: Local MMDB file reading for various database types (City, Country, ASN, Anonymous IP, ISP, etc.)
 
 The library provides both web service clients and database readers that return strongly-typed model objects containing geographic, ISP, anonymizer, and other IP-related data.
