I am about to embark on a project and have been considering using Umbraco, however I wanted to clarify where I stood with licencing first.
The project is to develop a learing portal (e-portfolio system) that will be used by our company (a training provider) to record courses and clients progress through these courses. As well as providing a platform which supports out business operations, we also plan to develop a platform capable, in the longer term, of supporting the needs of similar service providers through, for example, an online service using a subscription-based Software-as-a-Service delivery model.
Can anyone offer advice on what type of licence we would require to offer this SaaS solution?

Hey Martin,
Welcome to the forum!
Umbraco is released under the MIT license and is open source, you do not need to purchase a license if that's what you mean.
You are free to use Umbraco to develop any solution you want.

Thanks Rich. That sounds good.
Would you consider Umbraco suitable for developing this sort of application?
Hey Martin,
I couldn't say from your description to be honest, prehaps ask a new question in http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/extending-umbraco for some opinions as you know know the licensing is not an issue.
