Actually the special bing handling should be generic instead. Currently I 
think we violate OpenStreetMap license. We would need to display the 
correct Attribution there as well. So this information should be moved 
into the tile specification instead of beeing hardcoded. For WMS we have 
such an EULA support link already. That could be joined also.
