- Definition:
- ----------
+ This database is "DONATIONWARE". Did you know?
+ ==============================================
  .
- "Donationware is a licensing model that supplies fully operational unrestricted
- software to the user and requests an optional donation be paid to the programmer
- or a third-party beneficiary (usually a non-profit). The amount of the donation
- may also be stipulated by the author, or it may be left to the discretion of the
- user, based on individual perceptions of the software's value. Since donationware
- comes fully operational (i.e. not crippleware) when payment is optional, it is a
- type of freeware.
+ Previously, This DB was licensed differently (GPL V3). This restricted
+ many commercial developers from using it at all.
  .
- Please consider making a donation here to keep this dataabase free:
+ Now, it's "donationware". Problem is, many are using it in commercial
+ products, benefiting financially without giving a thought to the source -
+ this database.
+ .
+ It's simple: we cannot offer tens of thousands of downloads per day without
+ assistance. Please help us.... the PayPal link is near the tope right of the
+ page here: http://software77.net/geo-ip/
+ .
+ Bottom line is this: we don't give you this DB for free, particularly if you
+ use it in a commercial product. It is DONATIONWARE. If it's anywhere half
+ decent, pay what it's worth to you, your forum, your Bank, your internet
+ security company (yes we know and we see who all downloads this DB from the
+ reverse IP address in the logs). All we ask, is be fair to us too; pay
+ something towards our costs to keep this site online.
+ .
+ Many thanks!
+ .
+ Webnet77's IPToCountry database is now part of many Linux and even WINDOZE
+ distributions. In other words, it comes AS PART of the distro. you download!
+ .
+ It may be invisible to you. You may not even know you have it on your
+ PC, MAC, Tablet, CellPhone or other device; but be assured, this database
+ is pervasive, and is to be found on many devices across the planet.
+ As a tiny (truly tiny) company, we cannot support the world:
+ .
+ HELP US! ... and make a small donation. Please.
