5. DMOZ policy is very questionable with respect to google

I think you have this the wrong way round. DMOZ encourages you to use their content. But if you want your site to do well in Google then avoid using DMOZ data - however much you think your users would welcome the content. That is a Google Dictat and not a DMOZ policy.
