     @ayo It was looking great until I saw the MIT expat license.
     
     Isn't the IP/Country database absolutely proprietary and erroneous and Gentoo not supporting it not a bad thing?

     @ayo Good to know that there's a free implementation - although I don't have a use case.
     
     Yes, Gentoo loves supporting the proprietary version and not supporting the free version.

     @Suiseiseki libloc is the most free offline location database I'm aware of, the lib is LGPL and database CC-BY-SA-4.

     Gentoo still offers the libmaxminddb-based geoip feature, but that is fully proprietary.
