I don't see anything problematic there.

The Go license, which can be seen in the LICENSE file in the repo,
puts very few conditions on what you can do with Go.

Further, I'll note that every free software license that I am familiar
with permits distributing code with commercial support.  Free or open
source software is entirely compatible with commercial software.  What
it is sometimes not compatible with is proprietary software.  I
personally have spent many years working for companies providing
commercial distributions of free software, all entirely legal and
above board.
