Go is completely open source. The primary devs just happen to work at Google. That is all.
If anything, the Google name attachment may only serve to help convince management that Go is a safe, long-term bet. If you don't like the Google attachment, you are entirely free to fork the language and make it your own.

I'm generalizing, but given "management" lack of technical understanding, and the (general) knowledge that Google shuts down services left right and center, then I'm not sure this is necessarily perceived as such a safe, long-term bet... But I wouldn't have thought that the choice of language is necessarily something that management typically cares about.
