We will work with them for the benefit of both sides. Debian will stay 
independent as before.

Yes. They didn't make their decision blantly. There have been talks
for some weeks about this. For now there is no difference between DFSG
and Open Source. Also note at the buttom of the release

Debian GNU/Linux is a free, or Open Source, operating system (OS) for
your computer.  [...]  Open Source is a trademark of SPI. Open Source
is managed by the Open Source Initiative, which manages the
[www.opensource.org] resources, to develop branding programs
attractive to software customers and producers, and to advance the
cause of Open Source software.
