Is not bound by any other commitment
Explanation:
is not otherwise committed ...

Is not bound by any other commitment

-- is what I would say.

This is not always easy, but it is an expression used where the commitment is not defined or may be confidential.

I regularly tell clients: 'Jeg er desværre booket til anden side', when I have no time for jobs I am offered.

It may mean 'has no conflicting commitments' - depending on the rest of the context.
