Wait, you're using _that_ article to illustrate "went out of our way to make it not look like a Facebook launch"? Really? It literally says "Facebook today launched Yarn, a new package manager for JavaScript. " and doesn't include any pushback from you.
It was some press interview I was made to do. I answered questions from the reporter. I did not organize it. The article references other companies.

There is no denying that Yarn was started at Facebook, written mostly by a single person. I tried my hardest to collaborate with other people and companies to the best of my ability, because that's how I operated before joining. I didn't want to change that.

I'm just saying that it was a weird thing to call out as showing that you tried to convey that it wasn't a facebook project. As a piece of communication, it didn't do that, and in fact, implied exactly the opposite.
