I have asked a similar question before but this time I want to focus on go
language. I have been reading the wiki page of go language and realized there is a license segment in the summary which says BSD style + Patent grant
. I'm aware that there is also a gcc
frontend for go
which I'm guessing have something like GPL
license although there was no mention of it in the wiki page, which made me wonder:
Is the mentioned BSD
license intended for:
- the compiler
- and/or the language
- and/or the standard libraries
if there are such distinctions at all?
A practical answer would be welcome (i.e. how can I license a source or binary?) as well as a contrast to the old languages (C
, C++
, Java
) if any..
