<p>
With the release of BIND 9.11.0, ISC changed to the open
source license for BIND from the ISC license to the Mozilla
Public License (MPL 2.0).
</p>
<p>
The MPL-2.0 license requires that if you make changes to
licensed software (e.g. BIND) and distribute them outside
your organization, that you publish those changes under that
same license. It does not require that you publish or disclose
anything other than the changes you made to our software.
</p>
<p>
This requirement will not affect anyone who is using BIND, with
or without modifications, without redistributing it, nor anyone
redistributing it without changes. Therefore, this change will be
without consequence for most individuals and organizations who are
using BIND.
</p>
<p>
Those unsure whether or not the license change affects their
use of BIND, or who wish to discuss how to comply with the
license may contact ISC at <a class="link" href="https://www.isc.org/mission/contact/" target="_top">
https://www.isc.org/mission/contact/</a>.

The new GeoIP2 API from MaxMind is now supported when BIND
is compiled using <span class="command"><strong>configure --with-geoip2</strong></span>.
The legacy GeoIP API can be used by compiling with
<span class="command"><strong>configure --with-geoip</strong></span> instead. (Note that
the databases for the legacy API are no longer maintained by
MaxMind.)
</p>
<p>
The default path to the GeoIP2 databases will be set based
on the location of the <span class="command"><strong>libmaxminddb</strong></span> library;
for example, if it is in <code class="filename">/usr/local/lib</code>,
then the default path will be
<code class="filename">/usr/local/share/GeoIP</code>.
This value can be overridden in <code class="filename">named.conf</code>
using the <span class="command"><strong>geoip-directory</strong></span> option.
</p>
<p>
Some <span class="command"><strong>geoip</strong></span> ACL settings that were available with
legacy GeoIP, including searches for <span class="command"><strong>netspeed</strong></span>,
<span class="command"><strong>org</strong></span>, and three-letter ISO country codes, will
no longer work when using GeoIP2. Supported GeoIP2 database
types are <span class="command"><strong>country</strong></span>, <span class="command"><strong>city</strong></span>,
<span class="command"><strong>domain</strong></span>, <span class="command"><strong>isp</strong></span>, and
<span class="command"><strong>as</strong></span>. All of the databases support both IPv4
and IPv6 lookups. [GL #182]
