-The Brazilian Federal Government has been 
-improving its processes for software contracting and development. For
-instance, in 2003, the recommendation to adopt Free/Libre/Open Source
-Software (FLOSS\footnote{In this work, the acronym ``FLOSS'' is             
- used as a representative for ``Free Software'', ``Open Source Software'' (OSS), and
- ``Free/Open Source Software'' (FOSS).}) became a public policy. In 2007, the Brazilian
-Government released the Brazilian Public Software Portal
-(\textit{Portal do Software Público Brasileiro}, in Portuguese), with the
-goal of sharing FLOSS projects developed by, or for, the Brazilian
-Government.  Additionally, the Brazilian legal instrument on software
-contracting (known as IN 04/2012) mandates that public agents must 
-prioritize solutions available on the SPB Portal. The
-acquisition of a proprietary solution must be explicitly justified by
-demonstrating that there is no suitable alternative on the SPB Portal.
-In 2013, the Brazilian Federal Court issued a ruling
-(\textit{Acórdão 2314/2013}) about contracts between the public administration
-and suppliers using agile methodologies in software development.
+The Brazilian Government released in the year 2000 the Eletronic Government
+program (eGov) aiming at democratizing information access and improving the 
+public provision quality of service and information. In 2003, the Brazilian 
+President created a committee for implementation of free 
+software(\footnote{\url{http://www.softwarelivre.gov.br/documentos-oficiais/
+DecretoComite}}) and thereafter the Chief of Staff of Brazil sent a circular-
+letter to all Ministries in which the recommendation to adopt Free/Libre/Open

 Despite of these legal advancements, in practice, Brazilian government agents
 still do not practice, or even understand,
