All, SaaS, or "Software as a service" is a software delivery model where an organization develops a product, and makes it available only as a hosted solution. Examples of this are Google Mail, eBay, Salesforce.com, and thousands of others. Is there any legal precident regarding the GPL and SaaS delivery models? The GPL stipulates that if you *distribute* software that is based on GPL code, you need to release the changes (I dont pretend to know the full ramifications, or the official definition), however as I understand it, SaaS is never actually *distributed*.
