If you modify wordpress and distribute it as a software, right? Correct me if I am wrong but, if you modify wordpress and host it on your own server and serve it as a service you should not need to share all your code.

Yes, there are GPL licenses that apply to SaaS but the vanilla GPL (at least v2) doesn't as far as I know.
