Re: should you even want an agent
Thanks for the great link. There I found the recommendation to get your
website listed in the Open Directory Project, which I was all set to do
until I saw the terms and conditions, which includes this: "I agree to
grant Netscape Communications Corporation a non-exclusive, royalty-free
license to use, publish, copy, edit, modify, or create derivative works from
my submission."
Jeez, isn't this giving them license to steal? Even to modify at will? Am
I reading it wrong or what? It's at www.dmoz.org. Susan
