I would not be surprised if Microsoft would have a problem with the company name. They market themselves as an open source project, but I assume they are in it to sell hardware and make a profit (or exit).
The company name sounds like a contraction of Microsoft to me and initially I misread the title as being another Microsoft open source project.
I'm actually expecting some initiative from Microsoft in exactly this area, with open hardware instead of open software.
