Hi,
in my last message I stressed the point about free software.
Believe it or not, here in Brazil we are back to the times of
the GESTAPO. With the new software law (sponsored by Micro$oft)
people are being stopped at public places such as airports by
by a federal agent and summoned to open their notebooks
for review. It is against a few constitutional wrights, but it is
beein done all the same.
Just to gice you a good picture, the fine for having a WinZip
after the 30 days tryal period is $45 * 3000 = $135,000.00
