I believe Mikrotik is using "RouterOS" and "RouterBOARD" as registered trade=
marks, 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 r=
eferred as "meat"), and let parties involved sort out the trademarks, copyri=
ghts and other issues (further referred as to "slack" ;)) themselves.
