Sorry, this detail might have gotten lost along the way somewhere: the
GeoLiteCountry.dat file is distributed with the perl packaging (at least for
Fedora/RHEL/CentOS) and this is a dumbed-down fremium version of the GeoIP
country database.

Without paying a dime, or piaster, or whatever you can use this plugin and have
the CIDR and Country functionality, even if the Country database is of reduced
accuracy.

By default, the symlinks point to the "Lite" or fremium files, like "GeoIP.dat"
points to "GeoLiteCountry.dat" for instance, and "GeoIPASNum.dat" points to
"GeoLiteASNum.dat", etc.

It's only the GeoIPISP.dat file which would need to be licensed which would
provide the ISP-based lookups.
