I'm not up on the OpenLayers particulars, but as I understand things, the OpenLayers read options were a big reason for incorporating OpenLayers into GeoMoose.

I guess I don't understand something... I thought GeoMoose was a web-based
client. Most web-based clients should be able to consume Google Maps (as I
said); But non-web based clients (generally) can't. (There are exceptions
to this, even without violating the ToS, but they're the exception, rather
than the rule.)

Is GeoMoose a contradiction to that? Or is it instead just another 
web client that can consume Google Maps without violating the ToS?
