Your downvotes here trouble me --- because I strongly suspect the suspects simply haven't read their Beckett =)
That being said, I appreciate your reference to [1]. I wonder if this is actually the engine's namesake.
According to Wikipedia:
> Linietsky stated in a presentation that the name Godot was chosen due to its relation to Samuel Beckett's play Waiting for Godot, as it represents the never-ending wish of adding new features in the engine, which would get it closer to an exhaustive product, but never will.
