Sending a copy of the code and a couple of well worded press releases
from WABA or INFACT couldn't hurt. The companies may write the articles
through press releases, but they still go out under the names of the
journalists and newspapers that publish them.

I found the article a fascinating look into how business folks talk to
one another. I don't think you would see such an article in a general
newspaper. There was no one else interviewed or quoted and profits was
really the only topic of the article. Health, ethics, people - none of
that matters. Scary but fascinating.
