What would this "competing app" do that Perseus / Alpheios etc. don't
already do?
(Genuine question, btw: I'm hoping we can brainstorm our wishlist for an
open Latin app.)

Details on how libraries are going to license this stuff are thin at the moment - possibly through De Gruyter?
Edwin Donnelly and others have worked to make the open (i.e. old) Loebs accessible:

Anyone know anything about this Loeb announcement? Will the texts be
open access, or even better, open licensed?

Forthcoming in Fall 2014: The Digital Loeb Classical Library®
"The Loeb Classical Library® <http://www.hup.harvard.edu/loeb>, founded
by James Loeb in 1911, has from the very beginning fostered its stated
mission to make classical Greek and Latin literature accessible to the
broadest range of readers. The *digital Loeb Classical library* extends
this mission for readers of the twenty-first century. Harvard University
Press is honored to renew James Loeb’s vision of accessibility and with
the introduction of the digital Loeb Classical Library presents an
interconnected, fully searchable, perpetually growing, virtual library
of all that is important in Greek and Latin literature. Epic and lyric
poetry; tragedy and comedy; history, philosophy, and oratory; the great
medical writers and mathematicians; those Church fathers who made
particular use of the Classics—in short, our entire Greek and Latin
Classical heritage is represented here with up-to-date texts and
accurate and literate English translations. 523 volumes of fully
searchable Latin, Greek, and English texts are available in a modern and
elegant interface, allowing readers to browse, search, bookmark,
annotate, and share content with ease."
