That's a common misconception: software that is Libre can be bought and sold. It just comes with the source code.

(Libre is not the same as Gratis.)

It’s not a misconception. Firefox could be sold, the problem is that nobody would buy it. Opera tried to sell a browser, people stuck with the cost-free alternatives. People would rather use chrome than pay for FF.
