Maybe you'd better say something along the lines of: 

| Our criteria for "Free Software" are specified in the Debian Free
| Software Guidelines [DFSG]_.

IMHO, with this phrasing, it would be clearer that we think the DFSG
*cannot* be seen as a definition (in the mathematical or legal
meaning of the term)...
They are just *guidelines*, as their very name should make clear.
