The article appears to be more or less an uncritical re-statement of
the press release it includes (click 'show press release'). The article
does not actually give a very clear source for the press release, but
it is of course Canonical, being wildly misleading as always:
https://insights.ubuntu.com/2016/06/14/universal-snap-packages-launch-on-...
the press release is clearly the source of the bogus 'working with'
claim. The wording in the press release is:
"Developers from multiple Linux distributions and companies today
announced collaboration on the “snap” universal Linux package format"
which, in classic Canonical style, is pitched perfectly to make sure
news sites draw the wrong conclusions, without being quite specific
enough to be actionably false...
