You should ask for permission to the original author of EUnit to be able to 
release under another license[2].

For me, the ELP is problematic. I use Erlang because it is worth it[1]; but 
having to make exceptions in all my header to link against an EPL is not 
nice. I would preffer for everything to be released under GPL-compatible 
licenses (GPL, LGPL and others like BSD), after all, you are not loosing 
anything by using GPL or LGPL *instead* of EPL, I think. And releasing under 
both is trivial, there are lot of projects that do that.

[1] I would hesitate to use a library that is not GPL-compatible and I would 
hesitate to give back code to a non-GPL-compatible library. Sometimes there's 
real worry because there are a lot of nasty licenses out there and sometimes 
it is just because I don't wan to read yet-another-license. I know GPL, I 
know how it works, I trust the people making it and backing it up.

[2] If you do it, I'd recommend you to ask for permission and releasing under 
GPLv2 or latter; so you'd be able to move to GPLv3.
