Isn't that an issue for the upstream of each tool? It's hardly something 
that can be addressed at the Fedora level. The relevant upstreams seem 
to be:

   ping, tracepath - https://github.com/iputils/iputils
   traceroute - http://traceroute.sourceforge.net
   geoiplookup - http://www.maxmind.com/app/c
