A number of "chat" groups have grown up around Twitter.  One of the big 
requirements for these groups is to produce a transcript for each chat 
session.  

While the content is free, there is a cost associated with the collection of 
tweets and generation of the transcripts for each group.  Many chat groups 
collect the tweets into a transcript, generate a PDF (or similar document), 
and post the transcripts to a common member website.

1) The Twitter TOS appears to allow the creation of chat transcripts using 
the API.

2) What does the TOS say about charging money for the transcripts?  Would 
that be forbidden under Twitter's API terms (resale of tweets)?  Or is it 
possible to sell a transcript based on the labor/technology costs involved 
in generating the transcript?
