For D we introduce the notion of freeness with respect to <= and show that D is free in this sense if and only if D can canonically be embedded into the endomorphism ring of the right F-vector space F((G)) of all formal power series in G over F with respect to <=. From this we obtain that all division rings of fractions of F[G, eta, alpha] which are free with respect to at least one Conradian left-order of G are isomorphic and that they are free with respect to any Conradian left-order of G. Moreover, F[G, eta, alpha] possesses a division ring of fraction which is free in this sense if and only if the rational closure of F[G, eta, alpha] in the endomorphism ring of the corresponding right F-vector space F((G)) is a skew field.}, language = {en} }
