Nimbus Roman No9 L is one of the standard Ghostscript fonts and comes free with Ghostscript. You can for example download it here for free as part of a bundle. However, it typically comes as a Type-1 font, which is probably less convenient. (You could convert it to .ttf, but it might be a pain.) I thought someone was distributing the ghostscript fonts for free as .ttf files somewhere but I cannot find the webpage now.

Not sure why TeX Gyre Termes didn't work for you.

Another option for a free-license Times clone would be the very comprehensive STIX fonts, though they're probably overkill and may increase the size of your file more than it's worth it.

But if FreeSerif works, then it's not a problem!
