&gt; The whole rationale given in the proposal [1] is that some users have worked with vendors who do not want to share their source code, since they&#x27;ve purchased some sort of library product. In my opinion, that&#x27;s likely more harmful than beneficial for software as a whole.<p>I&#x27;m not sure why that&#x27;s &quot;likely more harmful&quot;. If you&#x27;re purchasing enterprise software or specialized hardware that comes with libraries that interact with them I can understand companies not wanting to simply hand over the source code to such things (this is how it&#x27;s done with many existing products outside of the GO ecosystem).<p>There is nothing wrong with giving people the option to deploy either way and it will help the GO ecosystem gain more enterprise like users.
