You're all pretty much right.
1. An independent league can be at any "league level" (major league, AAA, etc.)
2. Any league has a choice of having a draft or not, free agency or not.
3. Leagues without a draft must select players through free agency. (Not quite sure how this works, honestly, re: emysdk's question. I wondered the same thing reading this.)
The distinction that theasfl was going for, but just missed, was what I've referred to in the manual as "parent" vs "child" leagues. In a league hierarchy, any league at the top of a hierarchy is a "parent" league, and these can have a draft. So, if you create an independent single-a league, as long as it is at the top of it's hierarchy, it is a parent league, and can therefore hold a draft.
Any child league (one that is affiliated to a parent league) gets players through free agency or through the parent league's draft.
Make sense?
