But it does support free running!

There is even an option called "free_running" and this special management 
message:

* TIME_STATUS_NP
# designed for use with gPTP and free_running
  master_offset              0
  ingress_time               0
  cumulativeScaledRateOffset +0.000000000
  scaledLastGmPhaseChange    0
  gmTimeBaseIndicator        0
  lastGmPhaseChange          0x0000'0000000000000000.0000
  gmPresent                  false
  gmIdentity                 e89a8f.fffe.74f796
