You have to distribute your changes to AWS with your application, or
offer them (in writing) to your customers.  If your program is only
used internally, you can keep your changes secret.  If you run your
AWS-based GUI on your own server, then you don't have to distribute
*any* source code, even if your customers use your application from
the other side of the world.

AdaCore does that, for example; they have a cool web application
called the GNAT Tracker [1], written in Ada with AWS, and for which
they don't have to distribute the souces since customers don't
technically run it on their computers.
