At the time Slackware was residing under the care of the BSDI organization. It
allowed Patrick to pay for two more Slackware developers. About the first thing Wind River did when they took over BSD was drop Slackware, firing the development team, and putting the distribution organisation into chaos. At the time they made some "not interested in Linux" statements.
Fortunately Slackware not only survived but seems to have flourished away from their attentions.
