> For a "modify and/or redistribute" example, under this "GPLv2 or later" licensing you can modify the software and use it in a SaaS without having to distribute it (which the GPLv3 would force you to), because you can choose to follow the terms of the GPLv2.
GPLv3 says absolutely nothing about SaaS. You're thinking of the AGPLv3. The only thing GPLv3 does in that regard is declare itself compatible with the AGPLv3, so you can combine code under those licenses.
