Or of interest, does anyone know how long a historic copy might be considered valid? How regularly do people update their "copy" generally?

Someone from Maxmind has responded a few times in other places about why they are giving such short notice.

I think it boils down to the law just recently being firmed up and it becoming effective at the new year.

I also believe that you have to download a new version every 30 days to stay compliant with the license.
