Berkeley's interpretation has been that if the executables are separate or are linked with BOINC libraries (either shared or static) then there is no requirement to provide source for anything excepted the BOINC components. FSF's interpretation differs, but Berkeley still holds the copyright to BOINC.
I'd suggest anyone planning something like that bring the idea before the PMC before they put much time into it.
