This just for the archives, not to reopen past arguments.
You may be confusing my musixtex preprosesssor (mpp) with LilyPond. LilyPond has been a separate project from the start, borrowing only the musixtex font during the first year (until 0.1.39).
thanks for clarifying:-)
When I needed to add some glyphs and wanted to make the number-glyhs more to my liking, we found out that the licence did not allow us to do so. Requests for a more permissive licence were turned down.
After a heated discussion with all parties involved, Han-Wen and I were given explicit, non-transferable permission*) to change the font. That was a kind gesture, but we wanted our users to have the same freedoms as ourselves, so we had to design our own font (which turned out to be a very nice thing to do).
still for the record:
from at least version T110 of MusiXTeX the distribution has been accompanied by a document granting a GPL license to MusiXTeX. This should encompass the musixtex fonts as well
Greetings, Jan.
*) By unsigned, private email, which was the most we could get, but which would not have been enough to be allowed distribution in Debian, for example.
