Can you explain why, or link to a summary of the history? Wasn't it a license specific to erlang in the past? If so that's great as Apache is standard. But if it went from another common license I'm curious to know why.

It didn't come from another common license. It came from the EPL (Erlang Public License http://www.erlang.org/EPLICENSE http://www.erlang.org/EPLICENSE). Erlang users have been asking for the change for years and OTP 18 finally delivered on the promise.

The previous versions of Erlang were using the Erlang Public License 1.1, a modified Mozilla Public License adapted with Swedish laws. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erlang_Public_License https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erlang_Public_License
