I tend to prefer copyleft-licenses for my work, but as I see that
there are some valid issues with using LGPL for things in the standard
distribution, I have been discussing the matter with the OTP folks.
Some kind of change may be underway.

The EPL, meanwhile, is simply not usable for anyone except Ericsson
(or if you wish to hand over all rights to Ericsson), at least
the way I read it. Plain MPL 1.1 would work as a substitute for EPL,
but I think I'd rather use the Apache License 2.0. Does anyone know
about any problems with either of those?
