ShareWare and Open Source software are two types of software that are freely distributed.
Any software that has an "Open Source/MIT" License. Although I do no think that Any software without Explicit License saying you may do so will allow you to simply take that application and Give it away.
Ubuntu is a computer operating system based on Debian Linux and is freely distributed. Ubuntu wiki is a site which answers questions on this software.
Freeware is software distributed for free on the web put together by software developers all over the world. The Linux OS is primarily based on freeware. If you have a Mac, Apple has a lot of freeware available as well. One of my favorite freeware programs is Open Office, it's an equivalent of Microsoft Word but it is totally free. They have a version of Open Office for many operating systems (including Windows, http://www.openoffice.org/).
It depends on the usage license for the software; some software *can* be freely distributed and modified, however most software - including some open source software - have distribution requirements (for example, there is often a requirement that the software is unmodified or the original author is acknowledged).
Public domain software, particularly open source software, stems from the Free Software movement of the early days of computing. While proprietary software (such as Microsoft products) can be expensive and slow to adapt, open source software is freely distributed, and updates are essentially crowdsourced. Applications can be customized for a particular industry or individual at no cost.
An open source software is usually one where the code to the software is openly published and can be copied and changed freely without the need to pay. Therefore an open source SOA, or service-oriented architecture, is a completely free to use and distribute SOA.
