When I was younger, the "Gold Master" was the version actually used for mass-producing the software.
And when Apple released the "Gold Master" version of something to developers via teh Interwebz, that same version of the copy seemed to go to the CD/DVD mass production facility. In the times of digital delivery, the term "Gold Master" lost a bit of it's meaning. Either you release, or you don't. So these days, anything that Apple gives to developers prior to public release is technically a "Release Candidate" (RC). It becomes the "Gold Master" (at least in my terms) by virtue of being released to the public. But that's just my €0,02, and who am I to argue with Apple's naming conventions?
