We think this plugin may be a good generic thing most teams would want to use.

However there are a fair amount of setup steps (signup for maxmind, download the DB, upload).

Can we hydrate these datasources for our users automatically? It looks like it's permitted in their licensing as long as we add that attribution tag to the screens that reference its use (so probably the configuration tab)

Yep! We don't actually need attribution, since we've got the redist license courtesy of @piemets. As for hydration, it will very soon be built into the plugin server for optimal UX https://github.com/PostHog/plugin-server/pull/247. Then a plugin like the new https://github.com/PostHog/posthog-plugin-geoip will be able to enable IP location data enrichment with no configuration.
