I find the choice of goliaths a bit weird. I would have thought they'd choose something they can trademark, but I doubt you can properly trademark a character type based on a biblical story, wihthout even the name changed.

 They seem like they're just 1e's Half-Ogre with a different skin and origin.  Also not really trademarkable.
 

I would actually trace them more to Dark Sun's Half-Giants.
Although the true genesis most likely was "hey, we have a book called Races of Stone coming up and one of the things we deal with is dwarves. What else do we have?"
