#20492: Broken external link in ref/contrib/gis/geoip/

-------------------------------+--------------------
In the first paragraph of
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/gis/geoip/, the link
pointing to `http://www.maxmind.com/en/python` (the GPL-licensed library)
gives a 404.

It seems that this particular library is not supported anymore.

I is still referenced on that page (note the "legacy" part of the URL):
http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/legacy/downloadable#Python-10 but the link
there is just for a tarball, there doesn't seem to be a dedicated page for
it anymore.

Comment:

I'd suggest just removing the link, as it is mainly informational.
