unrestricted
Britishadjective
Explanation
When something is unrestricted, it means there are no restrictions placed on it. A restriction is a rule about a way that something can be used. If your parents give you a generous allowance with the restriction that a portion of it must be donated to charity and another portion saved, you might end up with less money than a friend who has a smaller, but unrestricted, allowance.
