Package: www.debian.org
Severity: minor

  Note: In February 1998 a group moved to replace the term "Free
  Software" with "Open Source Software". As will become clear in the
  discussion below, they both refer to essentially the same thing.

In fact, they are not. Also, the page does not mention Open Source
again, so it doesn't become clear at all "in the discussion below".

Free software is a superset of open source software. They are not
the same. If you insist, then you must make it clearer that you are
talking about the OSI definition of open source.
