Don't hold me to this, but I think they are apples and oranges. AFAIK, a
freelancer can be incorporated. It used to be that most freelancers
registered as a sole-proprietership, but now that there is the LLC (Limited
Liability Corporation) I think that's becoming more popular.

The apple to apple comparison for Freelance is Work For Hire. It's the
business relationship with the company for whom you do work. Freelance means
that you're responsible for all the taxes and such, but you also keep
Copyright. Work For Hire means they have you fill out a W-9 and effectively
put you on their payroll and everything you create is then owned by them.

I'm sure Dana or someone will chime in though to tell me I'm wrong.
