Hi,

Since Go is a statically linked language, is there a difference between LGPLv3 and GPLv3?

If I am working on a closed sourced project, am I unable to use goamz due to LICENSING?

Nathan.

In general there's not a difference between LGPL and GPL for
statically-linked Go, but goamz provides a static linking exception in
its license.

It's still possible to use goamz in a closed-source project without
being required to distribute its source.
