Yes.... I'm quite bothered by that. As far as I'm concerned "Router OS" refers to whatever operating system drives a router.
I believe Mikrotik is using "RouterOS" and "RouterBOARD" as registered trademarks, not generic "router os". The problem however is, that according to google search (I may be wrong here), the trademark was eventually never registered: https://trademarks.justia.com/771/58/routeros-77158105.html Anyway, let's concentrate on the source code and solution provided (further referred as "meat"), and let parties involved sort out the trademarks, copyrights and other issues (further referred as to "slack" ;)) themselves. -- ./
