You are not allowed to post the layout online. Please read the
"Legal notes" section from Wouter's website.

It specificly says that you can not provide the deign to the public.
"It is allowed to design and make a Wisp628 PCB, but it is not allowed to
have it made for you by a PCB company, nor is it allowed to sell such a
PCB, or to provide the PCB design to the general public."
Anyway, I do not think it is too difficult to build you own Wisp628A
using the schematics. To be honest, my wisp628a is still on a breadboard
with flying wires (a shame, I know) but it simply works.
Be careful with the serial cable though, low quality cable will have
problem with communication.
The best software to go with Wisp628A is xwisp2 from Rob Hamerling.
