Programming source code that is ready for commercial distribution. When a vendor says its product "has gone gold," it means the source code has been frozen, and the software is ready for sale. The next steps are to turn it into an installable product and master a CD-ROM. If the software is only downloadable, the installable version is copied to a Web site. See build.
