JQuery is open source, the author makes his money writing books about it, or
speaking about it, but not actually selling it. JQuery is a very good
script, though you do have to know a bit of JavaScript, CSS and markup to
get the most out of it.

DW is a commercial software product that allows you to create web sites by
editing text files such as HTML, CSS, and JS.
jQuery is an open source javascript library.
The relation ship is that you can download the jQuery files and add them to
the other files in your site and use that javascript. There's nothing native
to the DW UI that enables that, but you can certainly use any code you want
within the code view of your application.
In terms of a relationship with the jQuery dev team and Adobe corporate, I
don't think there is one.
That said, the jQuery team *has* made a relationship with Microsoft to help
Microsoft bundle jQuery with Visual Studio and interact natively with
asp.net controls:

So, perhaps there are talks underway to develop a similar relationship with
Adobe.
Now, there are js libraries that do have close relationships with specific
application frameworks. For instance, the delicious .js library is closely
related to the RoR dev framework. They are separate, but have lots of
built-in ways to talk to each other directly. The Adobe analogy would likely
be DW as the 'framwork' (admittedly, I'm stretching the concept there) and
Spry would be the js library that integrates with it.
