Dmack can't really complain about the headlines. Biggest thing anyone will take away is that the full-season car disappears. So in that sense they have stepped back. The announcement in general was quite confusing.

DMACK reaction on Twitter:
We WILL have a full-time presence in WRC next season as a tyre supplier, our eighth season. https://t.co/9W2vGH81mY
DMACK Tyres
We will have a fully upgraded range of tyres for 2018 @OfficialWRC - every one benefits from improvements and new features to deliver even more performance for WRC, WRC2, WRC3 and private competitors.

So DMACK and Pirelli offer tyres for the WRC now but all of the works teams will use Michelin. Or did I miss something?
They are free to make contracts with every mentioned supplier and can choose the brand for each event (FIA allows). Exactly on what terms, is said in the contract and it`s teams and tyre suppliers business. (Like Michelins on 12 events, but DMacks in Wales etc)
I think M-Sport are the only likely user of DMACKs on certain events (and maybe just on one car).
I cant see Michelin agreeing to anything but a full supply with the factory teams.
