[Incubator] Helping out with code/license reviews

[Johan Van de Wauw]

Landon,

It will be a lot of work for OTB -> it is large, and contains many
dependant libraries. We may have to limit the scope, eg check that the
ossim directory is identical to the version of upstream and skip
reviewing that in detail.

I actually had a look at much of the code last year, and I documented
some of the licenses at that point:
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-grass/otb.git/tree/debian/copyright
It is not finished, more a draft which worked for me.
