Heya, Satabdi has worked in the past couple of weeks on a IP geolocation server and client for GNOME, both of which are available in: http://git.gnome.org/browse/geocode-glib
The server uses the library code from GeoIP available under the LGPL: http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/downloadable#C_API-3 as well as databases from MaxMind, which are available under a CC license: http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geolite#License-4 I'd like GNOME to offer IP geolocation services for geocode-glib users through a service like: https://geoip.gnome.org But there are plenty of open questions: - I'd like to avoid answering requests from non-free, or clients other than based on geocode-glib. Is that something we can do? - Should we change the license of the service to AGPL? - What should be our privacy terms for the service itself, and are they implementable by the sysadmin team? - What should we do about security checking the service itself so that it isn't an attack vector? Cheers PS: Resending as this was originally send to gnome-sysadmin@ _______________________________________________ gnome-infrastructure mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-infrastructure
