I am certainly not a lawyer, but I don't see a reason why Google would
be concerned if somebody else set up a mirror site of golang.org that
is accessible from all countries.

If the site you suggest is under Google's control, then Google has to
follow U.S. law.  Hosting it somewhere else is irrelevant.

This feels poor to say the least; I hate to whip a dead horse, but
would it not be possible to work around this? What if the website and
downloads were to be hosted by a third party, non-profit in a country
with less ridiculous export controls (with the build servers and all
the other tooling and infrastructure still under the control of Google
in the US)?

I was under the impression that several other large companies were
doing this with their crypto, but I can't find any reference to it at
the moment and I'm sure the lawyers would fight it either way.
