--- Comment #2 from Conrad E. Meyer <cem at freebsd.org> ---
You elided the first half of the sentence: "While you might expect an operating
system with these features to sell for a high price,"

Clearly the reference is to other *operating systems*, which cost money or
don't ship their source (Windows).  Perhaps the reference is dated.

FreeBSD ships the full source of the operating system FreeeBSD releases.  You
get everything we get.  We are generally not interested in tilting against the
"binary firmware blobs aren't open source!" windmill.
