Thinking about promotion

I was thinking of starting something called the MySpace Referral Program (MSRP).
My first few games, I won't be submitting to GG for possible publishing.
In the MSRP, my studio will post a bulletin promoting a finished game. That person then re-posts that bulletin to others creating a branch effect. If someone buys a product, they type in the myspace link of the person who referred them. If that person gets x amount of referrals, they will win free stuff.
I have a question however. Let's say someone does get x amount of referrals, and would like Elder Scrolls 4 as their free choice. Is it legal to give purchased games away for free? I remember reading some EULA's stating "No Redistribution". Do they mean "no selling" or "don't give this to anybody but yourself"?
