What it is saying is that they can't close the market for mass-market software to foreign closed source software. It's not saying that all foreign software mass-market software must be closed to be sold in their market.

Why should it be part of some restriction? Sounds like a sneaky way to get preferential restrictions. I.e. if they wanted to make it sound equal, they should have said "any software".
