OpenStreetmap (OSM) is using OpenLayers to draw the map on their web
site, so I believe it is a great solution for OSM. :) OpenLayers is a
generic API capable of handling Google Maps, OSM, Yahoo Maps, etc. We
will probably use OSM by default in Norway, and allow users to switch
to Google Maps.

Great.
