Dmoz views on its usage

[jminscoe]

I was told by way of another forum if you use any of dmoz links or catagories you need to put "Some listings found within the directory may have been supplemented with results from the DMOZ project" or put their box on the page http://dmoz.org/become_an_editor/

Lets see what DMOZ says on their web site.

Anyone can use the ODP's data. It is available to the general public, and 100% free to use. However, you must agree to the ODP License. All ODP RDF users must provide an attribution on pages on their site that display ODP data. This attribution is described in section 2 of the license agreement.

This is a pretty easy thing to do using the templates for phpLD. The little box you see is outlined here: http://dmoz.org/become_an_editor/

On thier license page in section 2(c) is what most people will fall under. So you have to put the attribution and also something like 'Modified by Site X' somewhere too.

This is just what I took from reading it.
