“Summary: An anonymous Techrights member from Brazil
says that EDGI-like programmes are being used to suppress Brazil’s
adoption of GNU/Linux; evidence is leaked

“”They are trying to pull off an EDGI here in Brazil,” explained
a concerned member earlier this week. For those who don’t know what
EDGI is, start here. “I contacted Marcelo Branco,” he added, “let’s
see if he will be interested on this.

“”In any case, I think I’ll post the documents I have access in
Wikileaks. Basically, Mr Ballmer visited all states where the
governor is from PSDB, an opposition party to Lula’s PT (worker’s
party) and made deals to make EDGI’s on these states.”
