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

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.
