Almost right. The GPL comes into play whenever you edit GPL code or you add modules that are compiled together with the main application. However, you only need to release your own sources if you distribute the complete application. As long as you host your clients solution yourself you don't have to release the source code, but if you have an agreement to let the client do hosting themselves you do need to release the sourecode under GPL. 'Making available' the product of the code over a network connection (such as website over the internet) does not mean you need to open your code. If you want to enforce that you need to change your license to the Affero GPL, version 3 is compatible with GPL v3.
