[OpenLayers-Dev] License question

[Timothy Astle]

Hi all,

I have a license question.  I have a little API that I have and I'm 
planning on open sourcing it.  OpenLayers is a part of the foundation.  
Is there any harm in providing a hyperlink from my site to the 
OpenLayers site or referring to the fact that it is built on OpenLayers?

I noticed this in the license: "Neither the name of OpenLayers nor the 
names of its contributors may be used to endorse or promote products 
derived from this software without specific prior written permission."  
(http://svn.openlayers.org/trunk/openlayers/license.txt)

Basically, it's similar to what MapQuery(http://gitorious.org/mapquery) 
and GeoExt(http://www.geoext.org/) are already doing on their sites.

Thoughts?
