[erlang-questions] Standalone epmd distribution and use vs license
Philippe Lareau
I have a C++ application using Tinch++, which needs epmd to interface with a separate distributed Erlang application (which runs on another computer). I don't have any Erlang code along with my C++ app, which means I don't need the virtual machine, nor any of the Erlang applications (kernel, stdlib, etc). Is it allowed to distribute epmd alone with my C++ app, or do I need to distribute the whole erts-x.y.z\bin package as a whole? The EPLICENSE is not really specific on that...
Thanks!

Hi,
This is of interest to me as well, anyone?
My gut feeling tells me it would be OK as long as the EPL license is
properly distributed along epmd, but I'm not sure...
Thanks,
Francis

Absolutely no problem to distribute selected parts of the Erlang/OTP distro as long as you still respect the Eplicense is respected.
The full Erlang/OTP distro is a Development Environment or SDK and the intention is that the user creates his own product or target system which includes a selected subset from Erlang/OTP together with his own code and possibly other 3rd party
Sw components as well.
