2) How do you feel about governments spending hundreds of millions of dollars on software in countries where a large percent of the population is homeless and hungry (eg Brazil). Wouldn't the governments be better off spending the money locally on support than importing software from the US?

Brazil is a terrible example there. Not only because the accounts of famine and misery are highly exaggerated (yes, I live in Brazil), but also the gov't is making the switch to FOSS. According to the government, all of the its servers and desktops will be running Linux in 2-3 years.
