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.

  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.
 Software freedom is only complete when no restrictions are imposed on how
