Hi Tharindu They both use the same source of data from MaxMind. And the database is licensed under "CC Attribution-ShareAlike" thus we should attribute them if we are using it. see [1]
On an on premise deployment customers might want to use a paid service to get the location so I think we should support that. And to ship with the product like suggested we can use a free database. Also when will the location be resolved ? will it be a background task or are you planing to do it real-time ?
