Of course, if your company would like to donate some money to the R foundation, I'm sure it would be greatly appreciated.

R is released under the GNU GPL licence version 2. You can read the
licence online here:

http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html

As such R is free (as in beer) and you can install it without paying a
fee. The source code is also free (as in speech) and is available from
www.r-project.org as are pre-compiled binaries for various systems.

You are however bound by the GPL licence and you should evaluate the
implication of the GPL for the use you/your employer has in mind.
