Hence, my statement of "prior art" and not TM, as they never followed up on
it :)

Amazing what the proprietary appropriation of a single Word can do :)

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.
