The case is sharing your copy of a freebie book. It is a copyrighted, non-Creative Commons book that simply happens to cost $0.00 -- you do not have distribution rights just because your copy was gratis.
If it can still be purchased at that $0 price point, the friend can go get his/her own free copy. If not, they must pay money to attain their own copy. Either way, they too must go to the only authorized redistributor.
