I thought Open Source Erlang is Apache 2.0 based on the first paragraph on the Erlang faq page [1]: "You can use Open Source Erlang to build commercial products without having to pay royalties or licence fees to Ericsson. Open Source Erlang uses the Apache License 2.0."

I think it is a bit confusing actually, since they differentiate between Erlang (the language), ERTS (Erlang Runtime System) and the BEAM. It isn't clear to me what "Open Source Erlang" refers to with respect to those distinctions, or what the licenses are for each of them.
