A number of possibilities here:
The Poland tax authorities are confused about the distinction between
"free" and "pirated" software, and are trying to enforce a tax that
applies against illegally copied software on legally copied software
that just happens to have been obtained for free.
Poland has some regressive computer tax or software installation tax,
and it is enforced, TV-license style, against everyone who has a
computer.
The Poland authorities don't understand that 50 percent of a commodity
obtained for free is still zero.
There really is a tax that specifically applies to free software in
Poland.
Either way I'd confirm things with an actual Pole before getting too
worried. A taxation law that silly is too silly to catch on.
