Micron seems like a bad naming choice...maybe it predates the manufacturer?
It's the abbreviation of Micro Oberon, therefore a quite obvious naming choice; there is no real risk of confusion with commercial offers under this name; it's also a common name in science.
Wouldn't be surprising if the computer/RAM company had registered the trademark in some countries for the field of software.
They surely have better things to do than worry about what I call my programming language.
If they have a trademark they don't defend, they can lose it.
I think we can skip this discussion.
Okay.
