COMMENTS
Note that for k=3 (polyominoes with square bounding rectangle) these are not the free polyominoes, because Read does not apply the full symmetry group of order 8 to reduce the fixed polyominoes for c_q(n), but only the symmetry group of order 4 (excluding the 90 deg rotations). The free polyominoes with square bounding rectangles are the z_3(n) instead. - R. J. Mathar, May 12 2019
