It's strange because he wrote "making free software is not free" not "using free software is not free". This gives the impression that somehow working on ubuntu tweak is costing him too much money.

From his tweets, the latest version of ubuntu tweak is built on a web view, which means some parts of the soft is running on the server, and so far this server nearly runs out of the bandwidth.

Maybe he should have approached Ubuntu then? I bet it wouldn't be a significant expense for them to host such a useful utility.

I am curious why it would need to be a web view that he hosts, rather than something running locally on the user's machine.
