System 7 can be ftp'd for free from ftp.apple.com /dts/mac/sys.soft.
If you bought it, all you paid for was the media and the manuals.

Grab 7.0.1 disk images and Apple Diskcopy plus System 7 Tuner 1.1.1;
Apple doesn't distribute 7.0.1 by floppy because it's only required
for machines that shipped with it -- that is, the changes don't 
affect the earlier Macs (except for a small change to SANE that
you'd have to run benchmarks to find).

They didn't offer to do this.  System 7.0 is the new product, and you
own it already.  They offered to let you upgrade to a newer version
that you don't really need, for free.

what you got *is* the current version that Apple ships

they did;  it's 7.0, which is what you got
