I think that since they are discussing the FSF, they just mean that the source of the games will be freely available and redistributable to people who are paying for the software. I don't think this is materially different from models like Humble Bundle, which feature vastly discounted prices for games.

Addendum: People looking at "free" and thinking "you don't have to pay for them!" makes me feel both old and pessimistic.

Is the "free as in speech, not as in beer" thing just a byline at this point? I remember reading about it and being pretty excited by the concept ~15 years ago, and it seems that it was pretty common in the software industry to understand the distinction; especially in the context of the FSF.
