Ozaki's non-freeness conjecture for unramified pro-pp Galois groups

Let k/Qk/\mathbb{Q} be a finite extension and pp a prime number. Let G(kc)\mathcal{G}(k^\mathrm{c}_\infty) be the Galois group of the maximal unramified pro-pp-extension of the cyclotomic Zp\mathbb{Z}_p-extension kck^\mathrm{c}_\infty.

Ozaki's non-freeness conjecture. The group G(kc)\mathcal{G}(k^\mathrm{c}_\infty) is not a non-abelian free pro-pp-group.

The source attributes this conjecture to Ozaki and notes that Greenberg's generalized conjecture implies it when pp splits completely in kk; it remains open in general.
