[OpenLayers-Users] adding copyright text

[Andreas Hocevar]

Hi,

the OpenLayers.Layer.WMS constructor takes, 4 arguments:

OpenLayers.Layer.WMS(name, url, params, options)

The params are for everything that gets appended to the GetMap
reqeusts for the images. The options are for everything that
configures the OpenLayers.Layer.WMS object. The attribution property
goes into the options (4th argument).

If configured like this, there is no need to add the Attribution
control, because it is one of the default controls (unless your build
profile does not contain it, or you configure your map with a custom
controls array).

I just updated the Layer.WMS docs to make this a bit more clear. See
http://dev.openlayers.org/apidocs/files/OpenLayers/Layer/WMS-js.html#OpenLayers.Layer.WMS.OpenLayers.Layer.WMS

Hope this helps.
Andreas.
