It has everything the wikipedia has, and in contrast to the Wikipedia one can NOT edit the pages (they link back to Wikipedia, which too is strange)
In my opinion it is a business venture to make money on ad revenues. (the sponsored links right next to the articles) They use the content that other people have worked hard on, publish it and provide links that people pay for.
one good example would be here www.dirpedia.com/business.html
The links right next to the article seem to be highly arbitrarily chosen. Also there is no way to change them ... unlike the "open directory project" www.dmoz.org/ or the wikipedia entries.
It states that "All the Wikipedia text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License" ... which probably means that the rest of the site isnA't. (so sad how I see doublespeak in everything I read nowerdays)
Seems highly suspect to me, but then, I am a business student, I have read too much about business scamming the public over the last years...

hmmm, I see no really good point in it.
