Sorry, then what else are you thinking of?  If its the FreeSoftware and
OpenSource groups themselves you're referring to then my answer would be
very similar:  related, but *absolutely* not identical.  Lord only knows
I've seen enough flame wars to know they aren't identical.  :)  The
distinction between them is just as crucial as the distinction between the
LGPL and GPL.
