Ask HN: How to use GPL3 softwares in SaaS business?
1 point by drieddust on Sept 6, 2020 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment
I have certain projects in mind where I would like to use GPL3 licensed software requiring providing source code.

How do people do it? Do you provide a link on every page so that users can download the source code if they are interested?




Legal compliance implies paying a lawyer experienced in the matters. I'm not a lawyer (and so this is free): a strict reading of your question does not appear to require software availablility under GPL. AGPL is different and it would. But there aren't a lot of details in the question and the details are important...again, pay a lawyer because that's just part of business.
