Releasing something based on the regular Go distribution and charging for commercial support of it should be perfectly fine. If they're undertaking maintenance of otherwise old and unsupported releases this might even add actual value for someone. What other value might be added in the Business and Enteprise editions is anyone's guess...

They can do it on their own developed additions, whatever those may be, I guess. (Oh and if someone is looking for a binary build for Solaris, no need to wait for ActiveGo - I "maintain" one here: https://github.com/kastelo/go-solaris ;) //jb > On 17 Feb 2017, at 14:55, [email protected] wrote: > > Hi, > > allthough I'm not an Open Source or licencing expert I wonder if the planned > Go distribution with commercial support is legal by Go's license terms: > Here's a link to it: http://www.activestate.com/go > > I just wanted to let the Go Community know about this. > > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "golang-nuts" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
