I think that Clojure should switch to a better license with similar spirit like Apache 2.0, BSD, or MIT. While the EPL doesn't have the evil "copyleft" requirement of GPL, and therefore allows and encourages commercial uses of the code, it has a requirement that makes it incompatible with the GPL: If you create modified versions of EPL-covered software, you must slap your name (or any other identity) on it. In my humble opinion, this restriction isn't justified. (All, or most, creators of modified versions will do that anyway). It may have been chosen uncarefully. Other permissive licenses better fulfill Rich Hickey's spirit.
