I am little confused and would be grateful if you can clarify for me where I should be installing this module.

I am trying to follow the instructions for setting up OpenLayers as documented here:

http://drupal.org/node/1481374

I am not sure but I would be grateful if you could clarify if this module should be installed as a 'module' or a library.

I notice on your description you use both the words library and module to describe your code. Please can you clarify.

i.e. 'This library was written entirely in my free time as a volunteer' and 'This module does not provide any direct functionality to end-users or site-administrators. Install it only if another module requires it.'

It's both. The module here comes bundled with the library, which can be found in standalone form at https://github.com/phayes/geophp. All you need to do is download this module.

"We do not want to host third-party libraries on drupal.org for a multitude of reasons, starting with licensing, proceeding to different release cycles, and not necessarily ending with fatal errors due to conflicts of having the same library installed in multiple versions."

Please provide support for the Libraries API and remove the library from your module.

Can you clarify that you are the maintainer on the project page then? It's clear that people have complained about this before, and I'm sorry for continuing the trend :)

I've made it a little more explicit by adding a "credit" section to the project description page. I hope that's enough...

Good enough for me. Sorry for the confusion on my part.
