@nopara73 "Software is a mass noun (some software, a piece of software). By non-native speakers it is sometimes erroneously treated as a countable noun (a software, some softwares)." https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/software. I think changing it to "an open source software" is incorrect. Maybe "an open-source software project" is okay. My two cents..
