[WikiEN-l] Google using DMOZ

Hi all,
  Anyone else notice that Google uses DMOZ descriptions for certain
web pages? Search for [[George W Bush]] or [[Jack Thompson]] and
you'll see what I mean.

The implications are weird. Sometimes we'll be "an encyclopaedia",
other times an "open-source encyclopaedia", who knows...

Apparently they've been doing this for a while but I've never noticed
it until now (http://www.webproworld.com/archive.php/o_t__t_61217__view_previous__index.html).
