Yes. But the source code should also be available at no cost, and you should be able to build it yourself right? So freedom should be a superset of free.

Being able to build it yourself is a must: otherwise you can't make/share changes (and use changes from others).

I lean towards a "pay want you want" models (including 0) as DRM is pointless. But no, I do not believe binaries or code must cost nothing for it to still be free software.
