[OpenLayers-Users] copyright box on Google Maps layer

[Andreas Hocevar]

There are two alternatives to upgrading to OpenLayers 2.11-rc1,
although I would strongly recommend the upgrade.

1) Apply http://trac.osgeo.org/openlayers/attachment/ticket/2984/openlayers-2984.patch.
No other changes required.

2) Apply http://trac.osgeo.org/openlayers/attachment/ticket/3312/openlayers-3312.4.patch
and change your Google layers to become OpenLayers.Layer.GoogleNG
instances. This layer type uses the Attribution control to display
copyright information, and lets OpenLayers manage the tiles rather
than providing a whole Google map.

Andreas.

In its way, it's as inappropriate as taking open-source code and repackaging it as proprietary.
