Re: Origin and licensing for the XML3D examples

Well, I forgot:
The two examples are also available at

  * http://stlemme.github.io/poi-client/buildings-tum-static.html
  * http://stlemme.github.io/poi-client/single-tile-brussels.html

Although, those URLs are not permanent, they might work as replacement 
in the meantime.

Best,
Stefan
