Description

MaxMind GeoIP has been the most reliable IP geolocation toolkit that Brooklyn supports. Unfortunately, BROOKLYN-32 (PR #140) required that we remove it from Brooklyn core due to its use of the LGPL2.1 license.

GeoIP v2 however is available under ASL2.0, which removes the licensing problem. We should integrate with GeoIP v2.
