Free tagging categories should be considered multi select even if the corresponding checkbox is not selected.

This module doesn't apply to freetagging vocabs as they are difficult to determine how
many terms are in the text box. Terms can contain comma's, so it would be hard to
count the ones entered accurately.

I will take a look at the code to see if it not a huge change. If people are OK with a simple
count of free tagging terms, I will make the change.

I am using the module with free tagging right now, seems to work just fine. Also, its README says: "It has been updated to allow freetagging categories as well."

All I was suggesting is to relax the validation on freetagging taxonomies, no need to check if they are multi select.

I see that freetagging terms are now supported - great! You might just want to change the help text in the config section of the installed module - it still says freetagging is not supported. Unless one knows that it does, you still probably wouldn't because of the need to manually set freetagging categories as 'multiple select' (something not normally required within Drupal) before the option to configure is available. I only realised it because it was pointed out to me by mariuss (and I didn't properly read the module homepage!).
