Well, actually GNU have never discouraged selling Free software. Its right at the top of the list in the introduction to philosophy on http://www.gnu.org/
They havent encouraged it either. I believe in the early days the usage of free was gratis as well, thats the impression I got from the manifesto of RMS.
In general my impression is that GNU/Freedom-people avoid the question of compensation.
