This makes me happy. "The Brazilian Ministry of Education (MEC) published an ordinance on the 16th of may, that determines that any educational resources paid for by the Ministry, which is to be used for basic education (K-12) should be open educational resources, giving permissions for anyone to "access, use, adapt and distribute at no cost". It further emphasises the importance of open formats and standards whenever technically viable." Resources will be available in a new open-source repository.
