Openlayers and OpenStreetMap are not the same code.

This openstreetmap package extends the openlayers one for accessing the
OpenStreetMap.org data.

So this is just another Javascript library, built on top of the OL library. For
example, some of the OSM code got merged in the OL 2.8 release as it was
generic code. But the rest really is an extension of OL. Maybe the two will be
merged one day, I have no idea. Until then, both are different and, depending
on what you do, needed.

(and yes, I know OL is in Fedora, I co-maintain it :)
