I cannot find any press release or any other information to verify .free
availability via ICANN.

On one specific site, they are "pre-applying" but only acknowledge that
the Tld is submitted for review, but not whether it IS being reviewed.

Can anyone point to definitive ICANN info?

hmmm  ...  found on ICANN:

https://gtldresult.icann.org/applicationstatus/viewstatus

search for free and find all but Amazon application withdrawn:
