The term Gold Master originally came from the recording industry where the master disc or cylinder was used to create all the other copies. See

So the Gold Master in the software world is the final copy where everything is as good as it's going to get and all the copies are made from it. It's a hard point to come to since there is always more you can do to make things better, but you have to finally put your foot down and ship something.

All the reports I've seen say that Leopard has not yet gone gold. There was a false report about it going gold a few days ago, but that's all. If you have anything more definitive, please provide links.
