  Open Directory Project - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gnuhoo directory went live on June 5, 1998, and was renamed Newhoo after a Slashdot article was posted in which posters claimed that Gnuhoo had nothing in common with the spirit of free software for which the GNU project was known and was simply a commercial enterprise seeking to construct an alternative to Yahoo!
Due to the popularity of the Open Directory and its resulting impact on search engine rankings, domains with lapsed registration that are listed on ODP have attracted domain hijacking, an issue that has been addressed by regularly removing expired domains from the directory.
ODP data is made available for open content distribution under the terms of the Open Directory License, which requires a specific ODP attribution table on every Web page that uses the data.

 Open content - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Open content, coined by analogy with "open source," (though technically it is actually share-alike) describes any kind of creative work including articles, pictures, audio, and video that is published in a format that explicitly allows the copying of the information.
The words "open content" were first put together in this context by David Wiley, then a graduate student at Brigham Young University, who founded the OpenContent project and put together the first content-specific (non-software) license in 1998 with input from Eric Raymond, Tim O'Reilly, and others.
The main difference between licenses is the definition of freedom; some licenses attempt to maximize the freedom of all potential recipients in the future while others maximize the freedom of the initial recipient.

 Open Directory Project - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Due to the popularity of the Open Directory and its resulting impact on search engine rankings, domains with lapsed registration that are listed on ODP are an attractive nuisance for domain hijacking.
ODP data is made available for open content distribution under the terms of the Open Directory License which purportedly requires a specific ODP attribution table on virtually every Web page that uses the data.
As at December 8, 2003, the Open Directory Project homepage claimed that their directory contained 4,008,147 websites and 533,951 categories, but it is not entirely clear how much of this data is made available to non-editors and/or ODP licensees by virtue of the ODP RDF dump.

The primary incompatibility is that this Python license is governed by the laws of the "State of Virginia", in the USA, and the GPL does not permit this.
This is a Free Documentation license that is incompatible with the GNU FDL.
Likewise, if you use this license without either of the options to make your manual free, someone else might decide to imitate you, then change his or her mind about the options thinking that that is just a detail; the result would be that his or her manual is non-free.

 Wikipedia: Open content
Open content, coined by analogy with open source, describes any kind of creative work (for example, articles, pictures, audio, video, etc.) that is published under a non-restrictive copyright license and format that explicitly allows the copying of the information.
Just as open source software is sometimes described simply as Free Software (not to be confused with Freeware), open content materials can be more briefly described as free materials.
But not every open content is free in the GNU GPL sense (for instance the Open Directory).

 Open Conversation Directories vs. Open Directory Project   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
That led to creation in 1998 of NewHoo, (known today as the Open Directory Project) which used the open source concept to build a Web directory: The idea was to get the Web community itself to work on the directory.
Directories' importance is diminishing because the majority of people are using search engines that are driven by automated rules or algorithms, instead of browsing directories.
If the directory was a balanced international resource, the home page would offer not categories, but languages, and each link would present exactly the same directory structure, but in that language.

 Introduction to the Open Directory Project
The Open Directory Project (ODP) is arguably the most widely distributed directory, although its home page, dmoz.org, is not widely known outside the Webmaster community.
You've likely encountered ODP listings through the many services that license its data for their own directory offerings, including the Google Directory, AOL Search, the Metacrawler Directory, and over 355 others.
This summer, the ODP began testing a new system to allow anyone to report suspected abuse by editors thought to be more committed to their own self-interest than the general good of the project.

 DMoz.org Open Directory Project: Unofficial FAQ
Mozilla was the "inside" name for the Netscape Navigator browser, and when Netscape decided to go Open Source, Mozilla.org became the organization that handles the Open Source.
But the DMoz.org ODP is still Open Source, free, and all that, whatever the name and URL is. By the way, Netscape periodically downloads a copy of the Directory and adds it to its own directory, the "Netscape Open Directory", aka NOD.
The General forum is the "General forum for discussion of Open Directory editing issues".
