Unclear license of the plugins/IpToCountry.csv #366
Comments
I would like to add that both README and the project homepage say the license is GPLv2. It would be good to add "or later" there, so it would be clear from the first reading that also GPLv3 is available. |
Thanks for raising this issue. Do you have any suggestions for an alternative GeoIP database? |
Hello Andrew, Or this one - https://github.com/geoacumen/geoacumen-country ... mmdb based on data from https://iptoasn.com/ I have found also some additional : |
Please what is the legal status of the plugins/IpToCountry.csv database?
The whatweb project is released with the GPLv2+ license.
But it contains plugins/IpToCountry.csv file which states it is "DONATIONWARE" = possibly limuting commercial use.
Does whatweb has some formal exception to be able to share it with GPLv2+ license?
Upstream of this database seems to be inactive/gone. Wouldn't it make sense to switch to some database which would be free too use without additional conditions (such as maxminds lite ip2country database?) ?
Thank you
Michal Ambroz
