Thanks for the PR. What's the license of IPInfo? the goal of MMDB was to support only open source data such as GeoOpen https://cra.circl.lu/opendata/geo-open/ - https://data.public.lu/en/datasets/geo-open-ip-address-geolocation-per-country-in-mmdb-format/

Do you have a reference? because you need a token in order to download the database https://ipinfo.io/developers/database-download

@adulau, please use the IPinfo Lite Database: https://ipinfo.io/developers/ipinfo-lite-database

If you want to support the download mechanism, I highly recommend signing up to get a access token yourself. It is free to sign up, and once you have your token, you can redistribute it as part of the project.

@abdullahdevrel Thanks a lot for the clarification of the license. Would it be possible to make it available without the token? as the content is open data. That would be a huge advantage for the users.

@adulau If the project owner or maintainer opens a single free account with us, they can integrate the access token as a project-specific token. They can then distribute the project access token along with the project like embed/hardcode the access token directly in project codebase if they want.
