This is a real shame. Many people use a 3rd party alarm clock app.
This would make a great base for BOINC applications, running overnight
while people are sleeping. You'd want the iOS device plugged into
power and the app could monitor to make sure the device would be
charged by the time the alarm went off.
If GPL is the only available license for BOINC, then I see only two options:
1) Jailbreak
2) Distribute as source code so iOS devs with the paid Apple dev agreement
can compile and run it on their own devices.
I'd love to take a crack at this if it could be done for the general population.
