We could fit a bit more information into COMMENT, how about this? library for MaxMind GeoIP2/GeoLite2 IP geolocation databases Do you fancy adding GeoLite2 dbs as subpackages, something like net/GeoIP does? (They could go in a separate port but I think it makes it easier for people to find them if it's in the main one). Otherwise looking good.
