It would be nice if you provide a brand/trademark guideline. I.e. describe how to use the words Go and GoLang which are registered trademarks. There's a great document describing how to use the visual branding: https://go.dev/blog/go-brand

For example, Apple has this document: https://www.apple.com/legal/intellectual-property/guidelinesfor3rdparties.html which describes their approach in details.

P.S. For me the question is it ok to use the phrase for "Tooltitude for Go/GoLang" in the name of our extension: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=tooltitudeteam.tooltitude My understanding that it's covered by trademark fair use (under nominative use). However, it would be great if it's documented, and everyone using go/golang name could be a good citizen/use the same approach.

I will look into what guidance we can provide. I'll have to check with Google's lawyers, so it may take longer than our usual technical discussions.

Just submitted a new page https://go.dev/brand that I hope will answer your questions. In particular "Tooltitude for Go" is fine.
