Am I obliged to publish all changes that I make to any OSS which I use in my business? Presumably not; the right to make private changes is protected by (AFAIK) all open-source licenses including the GPL. Deploying software in an ASP is not IMHO essentially different; it is use, not publication.
Agreed. The end-user of an ASP is viewing content generated by the application, not necessarily receiving a "redistribution" of the ASP software itself.
