I recently read an article about Google in Wired magazine. The owners have morals and try to avoid listing sites with pop ups and shit in the top listings (although I have seen a lot of pop ups from sites listed in google). The point is they want to list good sites that are relevant to searches and don't jack the surfer around. I'm sure they'll always keep DMOZ because sites are manually reviewed by humans and they have rules that they are supposed to follow, and it just so happens that the owners of Google like these rules. So by taking these listings they are able to see the sites listed at DMOZ as 'good' sites. Of course not everybody is perfect, and DMOZ will have some bad sites now and again.
