You get to take as many as you like because most comic shops get totally bombarded by them, and they're worthless. The place I had a mail order with send me 23 copies of FCBD Ultimate Spider-Man #1 a couple of years back.

AFAIK, they're not even allowed to insist you buy something as well, though it's obviously considerably more mannered to do so.

It depends on which shop you go to (some don't participate, some only allow you to take a certain number, some charge if you want more) as stores do have to pay a small amount for each copy and possibly shipping costs too.

IDW'S TRANSFORMERS FCBD ISSUE
IDW has provided Newsarama with a look at the previously unreleased covers for its Free Comic Book Day offering, a flip book which contains stories from both Transformers: Infiltration and Transformers: Beats Wars – The Gathering. The publisher has also confirmed that there will be more than just those two stories in the issue.

The original solicitation for the FCBD issue reads:

This special Free Comic Book Day issue celebrates the return of the Transformers! Fans can get a look at the Transformers revival, "Infiltration," courtesy of writer Simon Furman and artist E.J. Su. Then, on the flip-side, experience Transformers: Beast Wars—"The Gathering," also written by Furman and featuring the art of Don Figueroa. This special flip-book comes adorned with two covers by artist Don Figueroa, both of which pay homage to classic comic book covers. Two exciting stories, for the price of none!

Additionally, the issue will now also include five preview pages from Stormbringer, the event by Simon Furman and Don Figueroa which sees the robots return to Cybertron in July, as well as preview pages from “Hearts of Steel,” the first storyline from Transformers Evolutions by Chuck Dixon and Guido Guidi which is due in June.

I wound up in Forbidden Planet in Southampton a few years back on FC Day. Their approach was "If you buy something, you're allowed to pick up one of these pre-bagged mystery comics for free. You're only allowed one and you can't look inside to check what it is."
