    They’re being diplomatic. From Wikipedia:

    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.

      It’s clear that it’s named after the play. It’s also clear that the devs really don’t care how you say it.

      Personally, I think I’ll start doing god-ot, as in “got it”.
