So does this mean that the initial distributor has the right to distribute the software for pay along with anyone who obtains it, or does it mean that those who redistribute it for pay, need not have to have paid to do so? I'm still doing the research so it will probably come soon enough, but I'm a little confused early on with the definition.A program is free software if users have all of these freedoms. Thus, you should be free to redistribute copies, either with or without modifications, either gratis or charging a fee for distribution, to anyone anywhere. Being free to do these things means (among other things) that you do not have to ask or pay for permission.
