why would you want that? The OS tiles are set up as a WMS which you can read with OL just like any other WMS - although you need a valid key to access. The OpenSpace api is based on OL (as is the French IGN's api), and released under a BSD licence, so you can change it if you want. There's nothing in the OpenSpace T&C that says you have to use their api to access the OpenSpace services. See discussions on this subject on the OpenSpace forum. Going slightly off-subject, I'm seeing increasing use of open-source software by the national mapping agencies in Europe - not just OL, but mapserver, tilecache too. Seems like they have to consider open-source software to meet the objectives of the EU's INSPIRE project - without breaking the bank. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://openlayers.org/mailman/listinfo/users
