Re: [ox-en] re brazil (slightly OT)

Hi all,

A while ago I wrote something like 'if Lula wins the elections, expect
free software federal laws in Brasil soon'. I was half joking, but looks
like Mr.  Gates feels the same way: he's just presented Lula with a signed
copy of 'Business at the Speed of Thought' and an invitation to visit his
house - presumably purely social, absolutely no pressure, not delivered as
an ultimatum via the US ambassador as with the Peruvian president, but via
an MP ;-)

Hopefully Lula will have more backbone than Toledo...
i really hope that he will. it provoced soem strange reactions on the FS community in brasil. people are now kind of discussing an strategy of propaganda to make the mind of the future govement before bill gates. we have two things in favor of us: pt (lula's party) goverments seem to like FS, and lula said he is not traveling abroad before he officialy becomes president, this happens in january 1st.
