Linux Journal has an interview with Cesar Brod, a Free Software and Linux advocate from Brazil. It is a brief but bullet packed dicussion of Latin America's contributions to and use of Free and Open Source Software.

With out intending it as such, this quote is priceless in light of current SCO lawsuits:
"I got to know of Linux by chance in 1993--the kernel and the GNU tools. At that time, I needed a UNIX to run on my notebook; I was supporting a customer far from where I lived and didn't want to travel that much. But a SCO/UNIX license was too expensive. Since then, I have been using free software and doing some consulting jobs with it."
