períodos de tempo não sujeitos a restrições de horário


Explanation:
Penso que "liberal" não se refere tanto a períodos de tempo generosos ou abundantes em termos de quantidade, mas sim ao facto de esses mesmo períodos de tempo não estarem sujeitos a quaisquer restrições no que se refere a horário, como é habitual acontecer nestas situações.

Liberal not strict or rigorous; free; not literal: a liberal interpretation of a rule. (Dictionary.com)
