So...regular bootstrap but "flat" buttons? I like it, but it seems they just copied everything over including the "Built with Bootstrap" examples even though those are bootstrap and not Google Bootstrap. Even the "examples" are regular bootstrap.
Really just a bit different colors and making the buttons flat is all that is changed yet they have the entire site/examples.
You have permission from Google to use their name? Google is a trademarked word, http://www.google.com/permissions/ , I would suggest a rapid name change.
You may be right, but I recognize some of Google's design language in this fork. Look at the buttons for example, they are flatter than those in the original work by Twitter.
I think the author called it Google Bootstrap because it has google style elements. I suspect the name of this project will have to be changed to not include the Google trademark.

As it stands this is clear trademark infringement http://www.google.com/permissions/trademark/our-trademarks.h....

I don't believe the author here is legally able to do that, since it's a derivative work of Twitter Boostrap (Under the Apache).
Correct me if I'm mistaken.
