Hi, [please add me to CC, I am not subscribed]
Maxmind announced - and now with the new year it is effective - that they had to change the license and the ways how they have to distribute the databases, because of some new california law, see [0]. I have got access to the new sources and the license file states: "Use of this MaxMind product is governed by MaxMind's GeoLite2 End User License Agreement, which can be viewed at https://www.maxmind.com/en/geolite2/eula. This database incorporates GeoNames [https://www.geonames.org] geographical data, which is made available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License. To view a copy of this license, visit https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/."; So before I may have to raise this topic to debian-devel@ I would like to hear your thoughts about this license [1] and what is now possible for Debian and what not, e.g. not main, but non-free, filtering, I have got no idea..
