Are the audiobooks free or not?
Not immediately, except for the ones free from the outset at The Spoken Alexandria Project. Telltale sells “Funding a Free Audiobook Library” recordings inexpensively for five years (or 100,000 sales, whichever comes first) and then releases them free with a Creative Commons License. A few works are released free initially. The rest have their date of release at the bottom of the page. You may not redistribute any of these cheap-now, free-later recordings until Telltale releases them with a Creative Commons License.
