That 'free' you're talking about has never been related to price but to freedom. Someone has to pay in order to feed such a gigantic network as the Internet, but who pays, what amount and in what ways is not the issue. Someone has to pay because it relies on at least two paid things: electricity, hardware (imagine that human time is gratis) I'm not talking about how those two things should be gratis or not, it seems reasonable to me that producing a physical thing has a lot more costs that copying 1's and 0's. Just don't confuse your freedom with your ability to get things for zero price. If I knew someone who had RHEL I would ask him to make a copy of it without the non-Free parts like Java et all. It would cost me just the same.
