As many of you know, Netscape Communications Corporation hosts and administers the Open Directory. In an era of increasing commercialization of the Web and search engines, the ODP is one of the last bastions of the free and open Interent. To reaffirm Netscape's commitment to keep the ODP a free, open, and non-commercial resource, we have issued a Social Contract with the Web community.
