Directory based on dmoz categories structure

[kaos25]

Hi !

 

I read all the information I could find (license, FAQ, other threads...) about using dmoz data but I can't seem to find an answer to the following question. I'd like to build a new directory based solely on the dmoz categories structure. I will not use any data from dmoz (site, links, description...) in this new directory. I only wish to create a new directory based on the dmoz categories structure (for example, I'll have an Art section with some sub categories, I'll not have a World nor Regional sections...).

 

Does a directory based on the dmoz categories structure (which will be modified, simplified, etc.) need to provide the applicable dmoz attribution knowing that the dmoz structure will only be used as a base start/inspiration.

 

Thanks a lot for your answers.

 

Ps: Thinking about it, it seems hard for a directory not to follow the same structure dmoz or other directories are using... :icon_ques

I saw this same question asked somewhere only yesterday.

 

At least one ODP editor gave opinion on that.

 

 

Was it here, or on WMW or SEF or IHU or what?

It was Webmasterworld.

Any idea what the answer was?

As I have understood: The category structure is also owned by DMOZ and is subject to DMOZ license agreement.
