There are tons of those. Beyond the ones you mentioned, there was lots of 
publicity, magazine articles (print & online), and reviews during the 
Akopia and Red Hat days because we had people reaching out to the press 
and the press was more interested in the company + product story than the 
later open source community story.

Here are some I found:

It's sad that any of that matters to a Wikipedia article, but it does 
demonstrate historical notoriety.

Interestingly, the Russian Wikipedia article is still there, and 
has different content from the English version, and more references:

http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interchange

And there's a stale English version on this Wikipedia archive:

http://www.thefullwiki.org/Interchange_(software)

FWIW,
