Hello Michael,

I just stumbled across https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/32978:

> Find a working alternative to using MaxMind's GeoLite2 databases

Since the Tor project teams seems to be actively researching, maybe it is a good
idea to get in touch with them more soon. Since I am currently out of spare time,
may I ask you to do so?

Thanks, and best regards,
Peter Müller

I am sad to hear that, but I have taken that sadness and funnelled it into reaching out to Debian, because of their thread on the Debian-legal mailing list and have also contacted some people from the Tor project:

  https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2020/06/msg00001.html

The latter was privately because their bug tracker is currently read-only and I could not sign up to it.

I will keep this list updated on what happens.

Best,
-Michael
