Aren't "software" and "editor" mutually exclusive in this case?

Anyway, I don't see what's wrong with "The Free & Open Source Image
Editor". It uses the word "free", and the "open source" bit serves
nicely as an explanation what kind of free it is.

If purists have a problem with that, I dare say they might go ahead
and create a free gnu whatever image editor of their own. Godspeed
with that.
