SciNet [specialized-search-engines.com]

It would appear they plan others (theme based) since their main page indicates "coming soon".

Unless they start displaying the attribution statement, as required by the ODP guidelines, they won't be using ODP data for long.

Interesting observation rafalk.

I clicked on the "powered by OPD" and went to another site

To buy the professional version, please click here.
This will enable you to remove the footer for 99$.

Important Note: ODP++ can be downloaded as source code. You can use it freely for commercial and personal use. You can modify the source code for your own puposes only as long as you follow the rules below:

- Free licence will require you to have a "Powered by ODP++" link at the bottom of all pages. You cannot erase this, or make it hard to view. You can order the commercial version ($99), which permits you to remove this footer link.

My question now is: Who actually receives that $99?

Yep. You don't pay for the data but for the download, slicing, implementing. You could as well get the RDF, slice it, and stuff it into a directory script. Lots of work though...
