Description

The Erlang Public License is basicly the MPL adapted to swedish law. See http://www.erlang.org/EPLICENSE and http://www.erlang.org/about.html

Including it would allow the erlang port and dependents (yaws, ejabberd etc.) to be binary distributable - provided that the license will be added to the erlang portfile. I will open another ticket therefor.

If it's identical to the MPL for our purposes then just write MPL. We do the same kind of amalgamation with the 2-clause FreeBSD license and the 3-clause BSD license, and for various public domain dedications including CC0.
