You should be aware that the Erlang Public License is incompatible
with the GPL.  You'll have legal trouble if your linked-in driver is
considered a derivative work of both the Erlang runtime and that GPL
library.  See http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLPluginsInNF
for some more information.

It would be better to ask an actual lawyer.  You can also try emailing
the FSF or SFLC.
