For phishing, the security is powered by PhishTank, the community site for identifying and confirming phishing sites, where the data is shared publicly. OpenDNS operates PhishTank for its benefit AND for the benefit of anyone else who wants to use the data (it's free). For other categories, the optional filtering is powered by the community. Check any domain's categorization easily: http://domain.opendns.com/ghacks.net for example. OpenDNS is remarkably transparent about its filtering.
