Native cross platform apps built using the react paradigm written in reasonml/ocaml

I was making simple CRUD apps in Phoenix (the types of apps I would normally use rails for) for a year before I even looked at OTP. You can become productive in elixir and Phoenix very quickly especially if you come from a ruby/rails background.
I recall a blog post by dockyard where they said they had new hires making commits within the first week.

Ecto 2.0: http://blog.plataformatec.com.br/2016/02/ecto-2-0-0-beta-0-i...
Other than that the community is growing at a healthy pace. Hex packages have gone from 1000 to over 2000 in the last 6 months.
So why not release the source code under GPL or even MPL or EPL?
