Hmm. If "open source" is a parenthetical or appositive kind of  
phrase, elaborating on the idea of "free", then yes. If "free" and  
"open source" are adjectives modifying the noun "source code  
management system", then no. If "free", "open source", and "source  
code management" are adjectives modifying the noun "system", then yes.

I think the second one of those readings makes most sense, so I'd say  
leave the extra comma out.
