Wordsmith sentence after phrase "such software".

I think Fontana's change a few commits back which s/it/such software/ in
this sentence is a useful one. However, the entire sentence reads even
worse because "such software Free Software" looks so strange as a string
of words in the middle of the sentence.

This change is the best rework I could find that resolved the problem.
It's probably not the best option but is certainly an improvement.

 uncommon for a subset of a specific program's user base to have these freedoms, while other
 users of the same version the program have none or only some of these freedoms.
 Section~\ref{Proprietary Relicensing} talks in detail about how
 this can unfortunately happen even if a program is released under the GPL\@.
 Many people refer to software with these freedoms as ``Open Source.''

 Besides having a different political focus from those who call such software

 Software'',\footnote{The political differences between the Free Software
   Movement and the Open Source Movement are documented on FSF's Web site at
   \url{http://www.fsf.org/licensing/essays/free-software-for-freedom.html}.},
  those who call the software ``Open Source'' are often focused on a side
 issue.  Specifically, user access to the source code of a program is a
 prerequisite to make use of the freedom to modify.  However, the important
 issue is what freedoms are granted in the license that applies to that source code.
