Seeing Huawei got recently blacklisted for all US made chips, parts and some Android services from Google, an interesting question to ask is whether the US government will one day force some foreign companies (e.g. Huawei, ZTE and DJI for example) to stop using programming languages invented & implemented by US companies.
The license can change any time they want. They can change the license to prevent certain companies from using future releases and/or security patches.
Let's don't forget the fact that Huawei had legally binding contracts with all those US suppliers.

Until then, it's a bsd inspired license. And you get code from Cox, Griesmer, Taylor, Pike, Hudson and Clements under those terms. It's a big team on several aspects.
So you can remove your tinfoil hat and check the code for yourself. It is valuable.
Where comes the expectation from, that someone else fixes your problems for free?
If you clone Go now, you get a robust codebase for free, and you could do any maintenance on your own (as a reasonably large organization)
What a strange conclusion. Not likely, but much more likely than that, is that they'll force foreign companies to use Go and other products controlled by US corporations.
