We are using right now "GeoLite Country", subject to GPL/LGPL for APIs and 
database license.

  Ref.: http://www.maxmind.com/app/geolitecountry
        http://www.maxmind.com/app/c


However, MaxMind sell other Non-Free Software products: "GeoIP Country".


Please, let us know if the project must not use the GPL/LGPL licensed "GeoLite 
Country" product.  The removal is technically easy.


P.S.: We will follow working to meet the FSF requirements, so that the hosting 
at the FSF can be considered, and so the users get the maximun confidence 
about their personal data.

Best regards,
The work team
