'for nothing' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'able to go where one likes' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'to go' could be 're' (I've seen this in other clues) and 're' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for free that I've seen before include "unoccupied)" , "Deliver" , "Release; without cost" , "Unencumbered" , "Untrammelled" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Globe and Mail.
