I've just found a site linking to mine which contains a copy of the ODP directory data. The site doesn't mention the odp or have the 'support/become editor' box.
Again when entering my details to another directory I noticed a similarity with the ODP directory. Some of the entries appeared to be exact copies of ODP data though in places new ones had been added. The site states that its directory is based on the ODP. It looks to me as if they took a copy of part of the ODP some while back and used it as a seed for their directory.
Anyway, when considering possible abuse, I am just as likely to have got it wrong as they are to be doing wrong (especially if they are pukka and researched what they are doing before they did it) so I don't want to name names publically.
Do I use the report abuse form which seems only to be about editors?
Thanks
