Possible violation of GeoLite2 EULA

#4 is not quite correct.

Some of the provisions in the GeoLite2 End User License Agreement include:

The GeoLite2 End User License Agreement incorporates aspects of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License, including the requirement to provide attribution to MaxMind if you share the material with others. Learn more about attribution and selling GeoLite2 data.

If you share the GeoLite2 Databases or GeoLite Data with others, you need to hold others to the same or substantially similar requirements to those imposed on you in the GeoLite2 End User License Agreement. This includes the obligation to delete old GeoLite Databases, mentioned in the next bullet point.

You must maintain up to date data and destroy old versions of GeoLite2 databases. Learn more about the requirement to maintain up to date data.

You must not use, or encourage others to use, GeoLite2 data to locate specific people, households, or street addresses. Learn more about the restrictions on IP geolocation.

GeoLite2 EULA incorporates CC-BY-SA 4.0, but it's not it. You have to apply this EULA, including its all limitations and infectious redistribution terms, to all users, which is unsuitable for using in free software like V2Ray.

Found this when trying to submit v2rayNG to F-Droid:

I wrote an email to [email protected] for help. Just wait for their response.

For about a month after sending the email and I get no reply from MaxMind, I have changed the IP geolocation database in this project to IP to Country Lite database from DB-IP, which is licensed under CC-BY-4.0 license.

Problem solved. 😄 BTW thanks for notice.
