That's not how open source works.

  The license can change any time they want. They can change the license to prevent certain companies from using future releases and/or security patches. Let's don't forget the fact that Huawei had legally binding contracts with all those US suppliers.

    So? Just fork the last freely-licensed Version then.

      then start to use clean room process to reimplement all future bug fixes? nice!

        Where comes the expectation from, that someone else fixes your problems for free? If you clone Go now, you get a robust codebase for free, and you could do any maintenance on your own (as a reasonably large organization)

    > The license can change any time they want. They can change the license to prevent certain companies from using future releases and/or security patches. Until then, it's a bsd inspired license. And you get code from Cox, Griesmer, Taylor, Pike, Hudson and Clements under those terms. It's a big team on several aspects. So you can remove your tinfoil hat and check the code for yourself. It is valuable.
