I'm from Brazil and last year I've worked for people from PT, president Lula political party. There is real interest on free software not just as a way to reduce costs or developing brazilian programmers.
Sao Paulo is now giving public internet access to schollars with a linux distributio in old pc's . In the middle of Bahia, in a very poor village called Valente there is a cooperative of rural workers that created a provider to sell internet access to the "riches" via modem and (U$10 month) and provides to the poor free and cheap access in a kind of cyber cafe. Free software server side. Windows and Linux mixed desktop side. With Internet they export to Denmark!
It seems like a way to make easier to people to have contact with PCs. In big cities like Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo or in small villages as Valente the adoption of Free Software promotes digital inclusion to people that has not heard about F.S.F or Microsoft.
