In my opinion, it is not a question of whether it is legal or not. It is more about "being nice to your neighbours". I also buy free software on CDs and DVDs because it can save me download time and in most cases it will support the development. But selling a CDROM with 10 MByte of data, which can be downloaded for free... that's also an insult to the environment :-(
Well, in that case, you have at least two choices, both of which you exercised here - voting with your feet (i.e. not buying it) and sharing your opinion on this issue with others.
I generally don't buy free software, because of the long turnaround times for the media delivery, it's usually easier for me to simply download the software I need.
