I always thought it stood for 'Goren in a Box', but I could be wrong.

There are quite a lot of references to both, out there in the public. You may both be right, if it changed its name part way. But I have not been able to find a link that refers to both names in the same article nor to a name change.

Originally Ginsberg wanted to call it this, but there were trademark issues, hence the name change.

Even though GIB's bidding system is about as closely aligned to Goren as I am to Daesh.

Meh - Goren wouldn't play Goren now either, so it's hardly a big stretch.
