apparently Thoughtworks has been building the Go continuous delivery tool as a custom product from even before Google made Go! I think the word "GO" hasn't been trademarked yet.

On their website it says: "Go™ is officially Open Source" [1]. So maybe they trademarked it?
Yeah, we did trademark it. Trademark's are pretty narrow - computer language isn't likely to be confused with a CD tool.

I spent 5 minutes searching for the ".go" code before back-tracking to the project site[1] to verify that it was a Java/JRuby project.
Even if they started the project first, it can't take that long to add 1 line to the readme for clarity.

Speaking of golang (go), this slide [0] lists breaking new ground in programming language research as a non-goal. That may include language name research.
