Hi Sebastian,

OTB's license is a string copyleft one. That means that any software
using OTB has to be distributed under OTB's license.

So there is no license trouble as far as I understand, since:

1. You are allowed to link together OTB with BSD licensed software
2. You can distribute the resulting software under OTB's licence

However, if you want to distribute the resulting product with a non-copyleft 
license (i.e. BDS, Apache, MIT) you can't use OTB (or any other GPL-like 
licensed product for that matter).
