I have noticed that a site similar has 17 entries in the DMOZ. Some seem to be in categories that overlap. Is this spamming or normal listings?
Maximum entries per domain?

Depends. In most cases, the entries have been listed by different editors, which kind of makes it obviouis that it's okay. The reasons include the following, and probably a few I don't remember right now. Some of them are also mentioned on the Site Specific Guidelines page.
a) Multilingual sites
b) Sites with a wealth of deeplinkable content (like wikipedia)
c) sites which cover multiple, totally different topics
d) sites listed in [several] areas with very little available sites
e) sites listed in areas, where we do have a policy of deeplinking. Like films, actors, and stuff.
f) hosting domains like geocities.com
g) sites duallisted in a topical and a regional section of the directory
If you should find a site with very low content and lots of listings, feel free to file a report with the details. [Note: "Lots" is not "two" or "three".]

Actually, sites like Wikipedia have more than 10k listings. Due to lots of editors deciding that the site is one of the largest free collections of wisdom, not due to some kind of abuse. So please emember that in most cases, multiple listings are not abuse.
I noticed the same thing for sites that do not fall under the criteria listed above.
Example: directv dot com.
Yes. I did notice they have a spanish language version of the site but there are someting like 50 links going to the same exact place. Im jealous

If I were going to indulge in a fit of jealousy, I'd be jealous of directv's _valuable_ property, like those dozen hundred-million-dollar communications satellites, or their access to content, like those hundreds of TV channels. But each to his own.
