Of course they&#x27;re not. I just had hoped that this would be something that the Go team&#x2F;community would purposefully decide not to support, as they&#x27;ve tended to lean toward open solutions and processes like most modern projects.<p>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.
