The ODP has never been part of the Mozilla project, it's really a Netscape add-on that used the Mozilla name to gain credibility. The ODP stays with Netscape, and the recent changes to the Mozilla Foundation will have no effect on dmoz.

From Mr. Keating:

"DMOZ was never administered by the Mozilla group. Netscape basically leveraged the name when they acquired NewHoo. There are no immediate plans to move DMOZ (or ChefMoz) under the Mozilla Foundation, nor are there plans to sell it off to the highest bidder. DMOZ will continue being the DMOZ that you know and love, operating under the Netscape brand as it has been for nearly 5 years. The changes AOL is making at Netscape concerning browser development do not affect DMOZ."

For those that don't know, "Mr Keating" is Bob Keating, the Editor in Chief of the ODP.
