Valerie It is a FREE os... You can freely download the ISO images and burn them on to a CD using your CD-R/CD-RW drive. CD media and jewel cases costs money... The money that these sites charge is not for the OS, but for the media (4 CD's) and the jewel case, and the booklet insert. In most cases, the money is reverted back to the FreeBSD Project, which helps with various costs. Hope that settles your confusion.
