Hello all,
Thanks for the comments so far! A couple of quick

No, I'm not. I'm proposing trying to set some community standards
for appropriate and considerate behavior as far as converting files
and putting them on different sites. The url is

Neither do I!

I agree. This is FreeNote's policy already.

Nope, that's news to me! Where can I find it?
A couple of people wrote to point out that my list of open-source
sites was incomplete. If you can find one that I haven't listed in
http://dmoz.org/Arts/Music/Resources/Downloadable_Music_Sheets/,
please let me know. I left out Werner Icking's wonderful GMD site
in my post, for instance, because not all the music on it is
available in source format.
