I am little confused here, so I am sending this to the hackers public mailing list for some advice. Should I have Lorenzo change the name and references to the OL folder and OpenLayers-.2.X.js files, or can I let it pass. There is copyright date range issue in of the OpenLayers files. Some extra license notice are included in those files. I think the COPYING.TXT should account and include the licenses for those. -- Nicodemo Alvaro The FSF continues to fight software patents.
