Hello,

I'm a newcomer to this list and I'd like to introduce myself. I'm a
Brazilian lawyer, graduated at Universidade de Sco Paulo  USP
(www.usp.br) in 2002, and I'm working with Intellectual Property,
mainly Software Copyright and Free Software Copyright/Copyleft. I'm
also a computer programmer (www.lpg.adv.br and www.usp.br/fd/notas).

Although Im a recently graduated lawyer, Im a consultant of the
Brazilian Federal Government at Information Technology Institute 
ITI, a federal autarchy that are stimulating the use of Free Software
over Brazil, since the beginning of the last year.

Im also developing a research entitled as Legal aspects of free
software to a very recognized foundation called Fundagco Getzlio
Vargas (www.fgv.br); and another research to the Medecins Sans
Frontieres (www.msf.org) about compulsory licensing of medical drugs.

So, as you can see, my research are usually about intellectual
property versus public interest. But, and its important to
remember, Im a professional lawyer too and I work with the
classical copyright/intellectual property all the time.

As a friend of mine says: Im not a free-radical.

If someone here needs information about Brazilian legal system, Im
sure I can help. I hope to be helped if necessary, too.

PS: I 'd like to use this list to improve my English too. So, if
you think you can fix something, here or in a future message, please,
send me a private e-mail.

My best regards,
Pablo de Camargo Cerdeira
