No, they were initialliy acquired by WRS along with the other software
assets of BSDi. Only the hardware portion of BSDi was split off at the
acquisition. Later the FreeBSD side of BSDi at WRS was laid off and the
FreeBSD CDROM production and web store were bought by the original owner
of Walnut Creek CDROM. Hence the confusion. My best guess is that WRS
still holds the FreeBSD trademark.
