Hi,

I've spent a few days learning about GPL 2 and still not 100% sure if I can use Drupal as a Site Builder for my subscription based project?

If so, when a user subscribes do I have to send him access to the source code?

Thank you,
Jakub

Yes, you can use Drupal for this. The GPL2 provides the freedom to use the software for any purpose, including for-profit purposes. There is nothing borderline about your use-case.

If so, when a user subscribes do I have to send him access to the source code?

No. Just subscribing to your service does not trigger the obligation to provide your subscribers with the source code.

Also see the FAQ: https://www.drupal.org/about/licensing#web-source

Thank you
