Hi Ian, Thanks for the clarification!
This means source-code is the only way to share the work. When it companies to sharing/selling their work on top of which others can build their app/solution, this won't work. Doesn't this seem like a big restriction? Particularly, computer industry being heavily dependent on IP rights (and where trust is low)? Wouldn't this deter such companies from adopting Go? For contrast, I have heard of providing binary only distribution even within the same company. Just thinking aloud.
