Free actions never provokes an AOO, because an AOO is an attack you can do when you see an opening in the opponent's defense and exploit it. By definition, a free action is too fast, too quick, for the opening to be exploited.
Not necessarily in the 3.5. rules as written, but any other interpretation makes no sense. YMMV.
Furthermore, AOOs themselves are immediate actions (free actions that can be taken out of your turn), and thus do not provoke AOOs. Otherwise you can get a whole heap of AOOs and counter-AOOs, like: "I try to sunder his weapon" "He takes advantage of your sunder attempt to try to disarm you" "Ahah! So I use the AOO to sunder his weapon!" and so on...
