Due to licensing restrictions, the source and binary packages of ktorrent do
not include a GeoIP database. The binary package *is* built to support it
however (the API is GPL, but data used from ARIN to generate the data files
is *not* DFSG compliant). If you wish to use the GeoIP support, there are free
databases made available at the following URL:

http://www.maxmind.com/app/geoip_country

Place the uncompressed database file in /usr/share/apps/ktorrent/geoip/ and
the country information will be displayed in the peers tab. The commercial
version offered *should* also work, but I have no means to confirm or deny
this.

The flag images are also not distributed with this package. Although the
original author seems to wish the grant free use, the verbage used in
granting it restricts their use to websites. I've tried, and will continue
to try to contact him and find a resolution.

The upstream source was modified in the following ways:
	removed ./plugins/infowidget/geoip/geoip.dat
	removed ./plugins/infowidget/geoip/*.png
	removed ./plugins/infowidget/geoip/FLAGS_LICENSE
	modified ./plugins/infowidget/Makefile.{am,in} to not depend on above
	appended "+dfsg" to base directory name
