Is agreeing to give something away for free price-fixing?

OSNews points to an article GPL Under “Price Fixing” Legal Attack. “The suit claims that the “Free Software Foundation has entered into contracts and otherwise conspired and agreed with individual software authors and commercial distributors of commodity software products such as Red Hat Inc. and Novell Inc. to artificially fix the prices charged for computer software programs through the promotion and use of an adhesion contract that was created, used and promoted since at least the year 1991 by the Free Software Foundation”

Groklaw responds with a pretty clear interpretation that this is nonsense.
