+Copyright (c) 2005-2010 OpenLayers Contributors. See authors.txt for
+more details.
 
+OpenLayers is a JavaScript library for building map applications
+on the web. OpenLayers is made available under a BSD-license.
+Please see license.txt in this distribution for more details.
+
+------------------
+Getting OpenLayers
+------------------
+
+OpenLayers lives at http://www.openlayers.org/.
+
+You can get OpenLayers from
+    http://trac.openlayers.org/wiki/HowToDownload.
+
+---------------------
+Installing OpenLayers
+---------------------
+
+You can use OpenLayers as-is by copying build/OpenLayers.js and the
+entire theme/ and img/ directories up to your webserver, putting them 
+in the same directory. The files can be in subdirectories on your website, 
+or right in the root of the site, as in these examples. 
+To include the OpenLayers library in your web page from the root of the site, use:
+
+  <script type="text/javascript" src="/OpenLayers.js" />
+
+As an example, using bash (with the release files in ~/openlayers ):
+$ cd /var/www/html
+$ cp ~/openlayers/build/OpenLayers.js ./
+$ cp -R ~/openlayers/theme ./
+$ cp -R ~/openlayers/img ./
+
+If you want to use the multiple-file version of OpenLayers (for, say,
+debugging or development purposes), copy the lib/ directory up to your
+webserver in the same directory you put the img/ folder. Then add
+the following to your web page instead:
+
+  <script type="text/javascript" src="/lib/OpenLayers.js" />
+
+As an example, using bash (with the release files in ~/openlayers ):
+$ cd /var/www/html
+$ cp -R ~/openlayers/lib ./
+$ cp -R ~/openlayers/theme ./
+$ cp -R ~/openlayers/img ./
+
+
+------------------------------------
+Using OpenLayers in Your Own Website
+------------------------------------
+
+The examples/ directory is full of useful examples.
+
+Documentation is available at http://trac.openlayers.org/wiki/Documentation.
+You can generate the API documentation with http://www.naturaldocs.org/:
+As an example, using bash (with the release files in ~/openlayers ):
+$ cd ~/openlayers/
+$ /path/to/NaturalDocs -i lib/ -o HTML doc/ -p doc_config/ -s Default OL
+
+Information on changes in the API is available in news.txt.
