While I now understand "free-as-in-speech" is meant to refer to "free in the sense of Stallman's ideology", I still don't think the following makes any sense:
> free-as-in-speech (where you can easily recreate the speech yourself)
Freedom of speech has nothing to do with recreating the speech. The term "free speech" means "no censorship".
The connection, as I now understand it based on other comments here, is that "free speech" refers to a freedom relating to people's rights as opposed to "free beer", which refers to cost. In that sense I can understand the connection to free software in the sense that Stallman advocates for.
