Was @Ultimaker , @LulzBot or any other 3D printing company invited to partner on this program? Or only Makerbot?

It is, yet I see no mention of them. The past 2 years I’ve noticed that Limor is awfully defensive of MakerBot, and oftentimes seems to do PR for them. I want to know if any invitation was extended in the manner it was extended to MakerBot. I want to know what relationship the two companies have that seems to warrant such close collaboration on so many things.
