<p>Dear incubation committee members,</p>
<p>thank you first to take into consideration the graduation of OTB.
To answer Jody question related to the project documentation
license. OTB got 2 main documents which act as reference
documentation: the Software Guide and the CookBook.</p>
<p>The Software Guide is generated in part from the OTB source code.
It can build with CMake and includes standalone Latex files as
well as algorithms descriptions which are parse directly from the
OTB source code in C++ (it allows to automatically generate
figures in the document for instance). All the examples used in
the SG are located in the <a href="https://git.orfeo-toolbox.org/otb.git/tree/HEAD:/Examples" target="_blank">Examples</a>
folder in the OTB git repository which are licensed under Apache
v2. The build mechanism and the generation was largely inspired
and adapted from the open source library ITK which use the same
mechanism to build its documentation:</p>
<p><a href="https://github.com/InsightSoftwareConsortium/ITKSoftwareGuide" target="_blank">https://github.com/<wbr>InsightSoftwareConsortium/<wbr>ITKSoftwareGuide</a><br>
</p>
<p>The CookBook consists of chapters written in RST which include
recipes which use OTB utilities as well as the reference
documentation of OTB applications which is also generated from the
application source code in C++. <br>
</p>
<p>The source of all the documentation (Software Guide and CookBook)
as well as build scripts are all included in the OTB main
repository in the Documentation folder:</p>
<p><a href="https://git.orfeo-toolbox.org/otb.git/tree/HEAD:/Documentation" target="_blank">https://git.orfeo-toolbox.org/<wbr>otb.git/tree/HEAD:/<wbr>Documentation</a><br>
</p>
<p>Don't hesitate if you've got any questions. <br>
</p>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
