Obviously you didn't read the reply he sent to MS Peru. His definition and that in the bill for free software is similar to RMS's. It is software that allows you full access to the source code and the right to modify it at you pleasure. In short open source.
He made the comment that free as in price was not and is not considered in the bill. More importantly is the TCO (total cost of Ownership), and in the long run open source with its more technological advancements and stability is much better than the MS brand.
He also mentioned open standards as a main selling point.
