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

It means it's not tied to one brewery and can serve whatever beer they like.

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.

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

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.
