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 ;-)

(in Portuguese)
Hopefully Lula will have more backbone than Toledo...
Graham
