Let me state it now.  I don't think DMOZ clones have any place in this directory.  They offer nothing more than a mirror of DMOZ.  They call themselves something different but they offer the exact same content.  Nothing more than glorified affiliates in my opinion.

If they have no other content, I tend to agree.

I don't appreciate seeing my 1991 editor's profile and editor bookmarks stuck up everywhere on the web like it is in every ODP clone either.

I was planning to make a category for those that are partially or largely ODP-data-based, but I haven't really run across much of any yet that I've noticed.

That's for sure. Probably millions.
