Also older beamer class files beginning with beamer 2.0 from 2004-02-18 works with the beamer.layout.

but 2.x is incompatible to 3.0 and later

Not the layout file. I've presentations created with beamer 2.x and 3.x using the same beamer.layout without problems.

Powerdot is released under the lppl so we can deliver this with LyX too.

You should use _only_ the files from the local TeX distribution!

Why that? Using a file from CTAN couldn't harm, especially not a .layout file. I often use files directly from CTAN, for example when MiKTeX don't provide a cabinet file for a package, and it always worked.
