Certainly not. Most of those free software are not in the public domain.
They're copyrighted and licenced. Discussions around the "copyleft" aspect
of GPL shows that many people don't feel this licence is equivalent to
public domain.
Could you explain why a GPLed software is equivalent to a public domain
software ?
