Is this ipinfo [0] repackaging their product?

no.

Source: I work for IPinfo. We don't do "IP Reputation Score". We provide the attributes/insights related to an IP address, the user makes the decision of how to use that information.

I thought IPinfo was just sourced from Maxmind, am I wrong? Is there any way to know who are the original sources of info in this space and who are reselling?

All of our datasets at IPinfo, including geolocation, are proprietary and created in house - we're not reselling any 3rd party data.

Seems a slightly better business model than the one from the OP.

But it still comes somewhat close to a China-social-credit system for the internet.
