My interpretation is that his government has some sort of grant or tax refund scheme running to encourage people to buy legal copies of their OS, so maybe the government will pay back a percentage of the costs. So he effectively wants to sell the OS to himself or his company for as high a price as possible (maybe the same price as Windows goes for, which may be the upper limit that the government will pay) in order to get the maximum amount of grant/tax refund back from the government. Whether or not this constitutes fraud would probably depend on the conditions attached to the grant/tax rebate scheme, and whether or not the purchaser is expected to exercise due diligence in finding the OS at a reasonable price.
