Unlike with free and open-source software, which are also often distributed free of charge, the source code for freeware is typically not made available.

It clearly says "typically", which includes the software that does open source the code.

when you feel up to reading the word after "typically" feel free to modify the attitude

What kind of attitude?

the source code for freeware is typically not made available

Typically it different than never. It means that sometimes the source code is made available and is the case of FOSS.>

edit: it just occurred to me you may not be a native english speaker, in which case i apologise. "typically not" means it usually doesn't happen.
