many pubs are owned by breweries so the landlord is under obligation to sell the brewery's own beer and no other. Free house means that the landlord can sell whatever beer he chooses.

It means they aren't tied to a brewery. Most pubs are either Managed, Tenancy or Free. The first two are part of companies or breweries and free houses are usually owned my the individual and they can buy in their products from where ever they want. and info for the person above... pubs are not all part of breweries. Some are owned by companies such as M&B, Wetherspoon, Spirit group, Laurel and these are not part of breweries, they just strike up deals with them to get the best prices and products. Hence why some stock Coke and some Pepsi.

Pubs (public houses) and free houses mean the same thing.
They are traditionally free to enter and a place for the community to socialise and a haven for weary travellers.
You don't get free beer.

I think it is because they are not tied to any one brewery
they are FREE to buy and sell from more than 1 brewery

They are not tied to a particular brewery and they can buy alcohol from anywhere they wish.
