Spotify adds new QR-code to app to facilitate music sharing

Quikkly gives the impression that Spotify is using their technology to generate the QR-style scannable codes, see https://quikklycodes.com/quikkly-blog/2017/4/3/welcome-spoti....

I guess that should be read as "Welcome Spotify to the group of companies that create their own flavor of QR-like codes (which you can also do with Quikkly)"?
