Gopher is a cool mascot, although I really enjoyed "The Autistic Gopher Hypothesis" I read some time ago.

If golang has this much interest in mascot images, then game over. Time to start writing all services in golang. Sorry c# and Rust, you just don't have the same swaggage. Screw generics.

The Golang Gopher is a design of Renee French, and the lack of attribution here is disappointing. Wouldn't these derivative works also be covered by her copyright?

While technically you could license your own stuff under the WTFPL, these gopher images are still CC BY 3.0 underneath that.
