Codigo-fonte Abstract Investigating the government’s choice for promoting open source software initiatives is a complex task that demands a deeper look at the software market situation. Through an analytical and empirical approach, this research aims to further understanding of the elements that make up the software market and classify the major problems present in this realm. The theoretical framework applied is the theories of the struggle for recognition and living lawfully. The underpinning of this research is that the adoption of open source software by the Brazilian Government has not changed the essential character of the market, as the structures that could transform the nature of this scenario are still monopolized by proprietary software companies. Keywords : Struggle for recognition. Living lawfully. Intellectual Property. Open Source Software. Source Code.
