Mmhh how about Automatic with wordpress?? They give their product for free and yet have a SaaS ?
Or how about OnVelocity? They provide a source code repository and have hosted version.
Or SugarCMS ?
Or couchdb with couchbase?
It seems to me that there are plenty of Saas companies that share their products as open source.
