Brasília – The use of open source software by fifteen Brazilian federal government agencies and ministries has generated an economy of US$9.9 million (R$28.5 million) in license payments for the year between October 2003 and September 2004. And that is just the beginning. According to Sergio Amadeu, the president of the National Information Technology Institute (INTI), plans are on track to implant open source software throughout the government.
