   Hi,

   Are the terms "DFSG" and "Open Source" completely interchangeable or 
   not?  They're based on identical wording.

Yes, they are, AFAIK.

     http://www.opensource.org/osd.html
     http://www.debian.org/social_contract.html#guidelines

   What's the relationship between Debian and Open Source?  (I know they 
   share webspace, but I mean business-wise.)

The DFSG is targeted to the free software community.  Open Source is
targeted at the business community.  AFAIK, IIRC, and IMHO.
