"Free cultural works" is currently translated as "Trabalhos culturais livres". I believe "work", in this context, would be MUCH better translated as "obras", instead of "trabalhos". Trabalho in this context is a very poor, literal translation of work, (comes from the verb "trabalhar=to work"). When used as a noun, specially in this context, "obra" is preferred, as in "Obras culturais livres"

Also, will there be a distinction between Brazilian Portuguese and Portuguese from Portugal? There should be, since they use very different expressions. While they are grammatically identical, a Brazilian would feel feel very uncomfortable (and maybe confused) with a non-localized Portuguese version.
