Hi, Lorenzo,

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.
