title: go language license
body: <p>I have asked a similar <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12673778/proper-licensing-for-a-website-built-using-twitter-bootstrap">question</a> before but this time I want to focus on <code>go</code> language. I have been reading the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_%28programming_language%29" rel="noreferrer">wiki page of go language</a> and realized there is a license segment in the summary which says <code>BSD style + Patent grant</code>. I'm aware that there is also a <code>gcc</code> frontend for <code>go</code> which I'm guessing have something like <code>GPL</code> license although there was no mention of it in the wiki page, which made me wonder:</p>
  
  <p><strong>Is the mentioned <code>BSD</code> license intended for:</strong></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>the compiler</li>
  <li>and/or the language</li>
  <li>and/or the standard libraries</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><strong>if there are such distinctions at all?</strong></p>
  
  <p>A practical answer would be welcome (i.e. how can I license a source or binary?) as well as a contrast to the old languages (<code>C</code>, <code>C++</code>, <code>Java</code>) if any..</p>
