    - CeCILL is not a very common license (even if it is compatible with GPL and OSI approved since 2013)

    - In the current context where OTB can be useful, copyleft may also restrict
      the use of the library for some potential users and contributors
    - This licensing change also means in our case better management of contributors (CLA and ICLA)
 ** Personal thoughts
    - Copyleft is a very good protection for open-source software in general

    - But you always learn things doing a code review
    - Think twice before integrating code/libs without a license
    - It helps a lot for OTB to maintain properly contributions since the
      beginning
    - Helps from a lawyer at CNES (P. Maurette) and S. Dinot from the dev team
