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:

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.
