On the night of Saturday 25th, I made a transcript of Stallman's GPLv3 speech from earlier that day, and I put it online: http://www.ifso.ie/documents/rms-gplv3-2006-02-25.html

That transcript became the focus of a slashdot story on March 1st: http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/02/28/1442241 (It also got a sidebar mention on Groklaw, and I plugged it in my blog and various forums.)

Now I found a news article based on that transcript here: http://www.techworld.com/opsys/news/index.cfm?NewsID=5477&Page=1&pag... (which includes a link to the transcript)

And this article also looks like it was made after reading the transcript: http://www.computerweekly.com/Articles/2006/03/02/214525/OpensourceGPLchange...

I had already decided that when it was on slashdot I should have submitted a story to community websites such as LWN.net, but now I realise that I also should have notified some mainstream press too.

I guess that's another value of transcripts - journalists can easily search them for topical words and find quotable comments.
