<pre wrap=""> * GPL compatibility (modeled after the approach taken by MPL 2.0)
</pre>

<pre wrap="">This is really great to see! I hope Clojure adopts EPL 2.0, that would
remove a major hurdle for me.</pre>
</blockquote>
<p>Unfortunately, I don't think it would be that simple, for two
reasons:</p>
<ol>
<li>GPL compatibility is not automatic. I used a poor choice of
words when I said it was modeled after the MPL 2.0 approach.
The EPLv2 is not automatically GPL compatible. Instead, the
initial contributor has to specify GPL compatibility when they
start.</li>
<li>Adding GPL compatibility to an existing codebase would
require the permission of previous contributors. I don't know
much about how the Clojure community is set up, but I think it
might take quite a bit of work to accumulate all those
permissions.</li>
</ol>
<p>My apologies for causing any confusion.<br>
