10.5.x is Leopard, 10.6.x is Snow Leopard. Minor updates are free, major updates (i.e. 10.5 => 10.6) need to be purchased.

You can purchase Snow Leopard here:

Apple - Mac OS X Snow Leopard - The world?s most advanced OS

That is a program that runs on 10.6, not 10.6 itself. Again, it's a pay-for upgrade. And we don't discuss software piracy here.

Regardless it's only $29, if you have an Intel Mac, it's well worth the money.

That is a bookmark manager, not a copy of the OS

10.6 is only $29 from Apple, that's pretty cheap for an OS
