F5 Big-IP-LTM GeoIP data source

Anyone know what the source is of the geo-ip data that is provided by F5 Networks? Industry standard seems to be maxmind - Maxmind is no longer providing an open-use Geo-IP database and is adopting a paid-model for enterprise. Will this impact F5's Geo-IP data updates?

 

If they are already using the paid model and updates will continue, that'd be perfect..
