What is ODP
The Open Directory Project (ODP) is a comprehensive human edited directory of the Web, compiled by a vast global community of volunteer editors. One source Google uses to generate snippets. You can direct Google not to use the ODP descriptions as a source by adding a meta tag to your pages.
ODP or DMOZ ?
The ODP is also known as DMOZ, an acronym for Directory Mozilla. The DMOZ name reflects its loose association with Netscape's Mozilla project, an Open Source browser initiative. The ODP was developed in the spirit of Open Source, where development and maintenance are done by net-citizens, and results are made freely available for all net-citizens.
