Does that mean that ia grocery store offers free samples, I can go in every day and take all the samples, and the grocery is not allowed to selectively prevent me access?
It means that if they're offering free samples and refuse to offer you the same service they're offering to other customers they might be in hot water - which is consistent with what a lot of folks consider ethical. Offering an item for free to some folks and not to others is a form of discrimination - it's usually not a particularly troubling form of discrimination but in this case Google is allowed to walk up and take all the samples and the grocery store manager just smiles and nods - but when you (hiQ in this example) try and get one you're hit with an injunction and barred from entry.
