This is correct. OpenNIC incorporates the ICANN root into its own root files. .free is a recent collider; we haven't decided what we're going to do at this point. At any rate, OP will have to use OpenNIC servers to resolve.
When I still provided The PacificRoot as a forward facing public service, as well as providing the zone data for several other competing Inclusive Roots at the time, we developed a couple of different plugins for the OS which, in once case, was merely a .reg file for wYNd0z3 OSes that adjusted the DNS servers in the system resolver to use nameservers resolving the Inclusive Name Space.
With a little .shtml and cgi magic, once the colliding .biz TLD was introduced by neulevel and ICANN (the antichrist), A query to the the namespace within .biz would, at the DNS provider level, offer up a web page requesting the surfer to decide which of the two colliding .biz TLDS (the original, managed by ARNI, or the pretender, championed by ICANN) they wanted to resolve in the name space.
It worked fine, but you couldn't switch without some effort. We were working on merging all of the non-colliding SLDs within those two name spaces when we decided to defer to the antichrist, and remove the original .biz TLD from the root.
I've been a charter member of OpenNIC since before Bill Clinton was marinating cigars. BTW, whatever happened to Robin Bandy?
That's the point of OpenNIC: It's an alternative to ICANN.

Whatever you do, this is the usual result you would get using the regular
ICANN DNS, not from OpenNIC. The thing is that "free" is a valid gTLD
and some of those new gTLDs decided never to give NXDOMAIN for second
level domains and resolve into the above instead.
$ host -t txt reg.for.free
reg.for.free descriptive text "Your DNS configuration needs immediate
attention see https://icann.org/namecollision "
$ host reg.for.free $(curl -s
'https://api.opennicproject.org/geoip/?bare&res=1 ')
Using domain server:
Name: 96.90.175.167
Address: 96.90.175.167#53
Aliases:
reg.for.free has address 173.160.58.202
reg.for.free has IPv6 address 2001:470:f032:1::254
