Answer

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Explanation
Freeware is software that is available free of cost and allows copying and further distribution. However, freeware does not allow modification, and its source code is not available. Free software, on the other hand, is freely accessible and comes with source code available with a freedom to use it, allowing users to use, change, improve, copy, and distribute the software without any restrictions or payments.
