was a partner and who was not.
Related to this is that the Open Directory Project claims Wikipedia is
their sister project. See the end of <http://dmoz.org/Reference/>, for
example. This was mentioned at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:External_links#More_restrictive…
licy_on_external_linking
but not really discussed on Wikipedia as far as I know. There is (or
at least used to be) a "Wikipedia now a Sister site?" thread at Dmoz
<http://forums.dmoz.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=908066> (you need to be
an editor there to read it, and my login has expired so I can't
guarantee that link still works).
And this torques me off, because Dmoz is a frighteningly corrupt and
autocratic community and their licensing and copyright policy is diametrical
to Wikipedia's. Maybe if they were willing to admit to being our evil
stepsister.
