The GoogleNG layer violates the Google Maps terms of service. The terms
of service specify that undocumented methods cannot be used, and the
GoogleNG layer uses a bit of a hack to get the copyright/attribution
information. In addition, this copyright information is not always
correct as we are retrieving it. Finally, the GoogleNG layer violates the
overall intent of the terms of service that to use the tiles, you've got
to use the whole map interface. The whole point is that you can't use the
tiles directly.
