I am searching a lot in the web but all are with payments some software I found like https://wowza.com are with payments.

I think, you may start with readingvlcdocumentation in order to find out what it really can.

+1 - vlc can do a lot more than watch a stream - it can generate a stream sent to a streaming server like darwin or wowza, it can host a stream directly, all sorts of stuff.

+1 on reading the docs for VLC as suggested in a comment in another answer. I've successfully used vlc to generate streams from static files, video devices (capture card, webcam), or other streams that are then sent to another instance of VLC to be grabbed and broadcast, to a darwin streaming server (free/open version of quicktime streaming server), and to a wowza media server.
Be aware that all of those methods create a not-quiet-live broadcast - I've always gotten a 10-12 second delay, depending on which software was used. Of course, the changes in software also incorporated faster processors, more RAM, better networks, etc so those may be the cause of the reduction in delay.
