The
question then is, who is the actual owner of Maps (ie, osmscout
isn't like
gallery)?
Others have opined that this is not the right solution in this
particular case. I'd like to argue that this is not the right solution
in general. The need for apps to share data without user interaction
is very real, whether it's ebook readers having immediate access to all
ebooks, a slideshow having access to all pictures, or a mapping
application having access to all cached map data. Making a special
policy group and a special blessed application for that group is not an
extensible solution.
I'm not sure what the solution to this problem is, but I do think it
needs to be solved. It's more than is necessary to solve this
particular issue with mapping, but solving it would solve this and many
related problems all in one fell swoop.
