I am looking at the possibility of developing a software for a specific industry based upon Alfresco and only to offer the thus, developed software as SaaS.

Thanks in advance,

You are free to run your SaaS buisness as long as you respect the terms of the GPL. So what you are proposing should be fine.

Please contact Alfresco support if you want to discuss your options further. At some point your buisness may become successful and you may want to consider alfresco support.

Thanks, mrogers! Yes, I agree! I will do so once I get through the 1st-level i.e. once I finish developing the product, which could take 2-3 months tentatively.
