Hello,


I was wondering if it is possible to debrand Odoo 12/13. I am sure that using the LGPL license in the SaaS solution doesn't have any restriction giving that you are only providing them via the network. However I would like to check if debranding Odoo in self-hosted SaaS instance is legally permitted or not.


Thank you in advance.

I think It is permitted, I have seen many questions asked in other forums like below 

in stack exchange, about Using GPL or LGPL licensed framework for web application, There is a response that says :
 
"Running an application on a server is never considered distribution, and you're not bound by the terms of the LGPL for distribution. The only widely used open source license which puts obligations on you when you run software on a server and let users interact with it is the AGPL""
