Seems highly unlikely, at a quick glance there's no overlap.

From the FAQ:

> Why the name “Salsify”?

> It's not a very interesting reason. Salsify comes from an older project called “ALFalfa,” for the use of Application Layer Framing in video. Alfalfa gave way to Sprout, a congestion-control scheme intended for real-time applications, and now Salsify, a new design where congestion-control (in the transport protocol) and rate control (in the video codec) are jointly controlled. Alfalfa, Sprout, and Salsify are all plantish foods.

The company you linked seems to be meant as "sales-ify".
