Not WR's actions.  WR bought some of the software division at BSDi, and
made job offers to most (if not all) of the BSD developers (whether
BSD/OS or FreeBSD) that were employed by BSDi.

Job offers were not made to the Slackware developers, they were retained
by BSDi.  It was BSDi that let them go, not WR.  BSDi is refocussing as
iXSystems, and concentrating on hardware, not software.
