I'll echo the "low cost, not free" thought. Stuff takes money to maintain. I don't want to build a service that depends on an unsustainable business model.

Maxmind is low cost, not free, and has a pretty good track record. What would you want from an alternative?

I would want: - Easier updates. Now it is a minor hassle to update my MySQL database table from CVS. I need to do it again soon. - Availability in different formats. For my personal needs, I would love to download a MySQL MyISAM table. - More accurate data, including "ambiguous country" for employees of multinational firms. - Related open source tools through github.
