Nothing to do with free (as opposed to "paid") WiFi. What matters is whether the WiFi connection itself is encrypted. There are free WiFi hostpots which nevertheless require a password to gain access, for example in some hotels/restaurants/bars. In this case using SSL-less connection should be safe, but of course it's always better to use SSL if you have a choice.
