Care to fix this ungrammatical headline? :)

I think this site is from the UK where companies are plural (they are made of people after all). Is there some other grammatical issue you have... it is kind of meandering, but that's taste more than grammar.

What would you suggest instead?

To me it reads like a demand: "Valve, open source the Steam Machine e-ink screen"

If we are talking past tense, "Valve have open-sourced.."

And if we are talking American "English," then "Valve has open-sourced..."

It's grammatical. I put a hyphen in 'open-source' in case that helps.
That does help but on the 4th of July I would prefer the American ;)
It’s a cultural difference you’re unaware of, not an error.
