We might want to ask what he means by "purchased". The whole world 
doesn't have easy access to broadband. I don't have broadband available 
from home, but nowadays I have a portable machine so can load it into 
the car and drive to some more populated area where I can get easy 
access to a broadband connection. But when we just had a desktop, I 
often "bought" free software in the sense that there are services which 
will download software, burn it to CD or DVD, and mail it to you. That 
didn't man I was paying for the software, just the service.

There also used to be projects that would put together a CD or DVD for a 
collection of useful (and vouched for) free software applications 
and"sell" this bundle for the nominal cost to cover duplication and 
postage. That again is allowed and as a matter of fact, how I got my 
first version of gnucash way back when.
