I think you'll find this is not the case in most jurisdictions. It is certainly not true here, and probably also not in the US. From https://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ14.pdf "A derivative work is a work based on or derived from one or more already existing works." > Go's repo license covers only repo. No. Point 2: "Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in the documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution." Note that redistribution is based on the notion of derivative works above. The binary is a derivative of the source code, which is, in this case the standard library. > Stdlib is not redistributed when you compile binary. Yes it is, in a derivative form. > It has nothing to do with GPL. The licenses are different. In this sense you are absolutely correct, this has nothing to do with the GPL. However, in another, far more correct sense, it is indeed related. Both the GPL and the BSD3 are based on the notions that make copyright work. The licensing of the work is based on that fact that the copyright owner has a sole right to distribute the work. This is licensed to the recipient under a set of conditions based on well established definitions of "derivative" and "redistribute". Those two terms are shared by the GPL and BSD3. Note that the LGPL goes to lengths to distinguish between the binary of the licensed work and items that are derivative, but dynamically linked, purely because of the connection between the original source and the binary that is the resulting executable (i.e. not the binary representation of the library). > Go's license is simple and clear.
