Pior ainda, apropriação safada: se usa de graça, mas
se investe quase nada em desenvolvimento...

According to the international media, Brazil is a leader in free and
open source software (FOSS) adoption. The New York Times describes the
country as "a tropical outpost of the free software movement," while
BBC News claims that "Increasingly, Brazil's government ministries and
state-run enterprises are abandoning Windows in favour of
'open-source' or 'free' software." However, FOSS advocates familiar
with Brazil describe a less hopeful situation.
They talk about unsystematic support by the government, and a business
atmosphere in which mention of FOSS is more about hype than
understanding the underlying philosophy. They say violations of the
GNU General Public License are commonplace. Some genuine FOSS adoption
does happen, they say, but, too often, it is marred by inefficiency,
and possibly widespread corruption.
