the software that belong to a party who have the legal rights, are called copyrighted software. only those who have a license from the copyrighted party can use change or distribute this software. this software has a legal binding some of the companies of this type are microsoft, macromedia, adobe etc.
Open source software is software that allows the source code to be used. Oftentimes, they are free to use. Open source software is copyrighted.
Shareware is software distributed for no cost. Many have a limited time period for it to work without contributing, or has many features that are not activated until it is registered.
Copyrighted means that the software, as a piece of intellectual property, is owned by a person or organisation, who therefore retains the rights on how the software is distributed. Some software is public domain, meaning the intellectual property rights have been given up (copyrights can expire, but no software is old enough yet). 'Licensed' is just a way of saying you purchased the right to use the software. It is an important legal distinction that when you buy a game or application, you bought the 'right' to use it, you do not 'own' the software. As above, with some freeware or PD games or applications, no one owns the software anymore, so the raw code is unlicensed.
