So I guess they bought out Mr. Winrar?

This is extraction only. RAR continues to be a proprietary format and compression will still need WinRAR. UNRAR.DLL (the RAR extraction implementation) has deliberately been free to use. Well at least as in beer.

Nop. They said it will be able to create as well.

Since .rar compression is still proprietary I’m guessing they’d actually have to buy out or license it.
