I notice you're in the UK too ...
I don't know how it works, but a lot of the stuff I'm doing
may be licensable but not public domain. Especially stuff that's licenced with
the Performing Rights Society, we may be able to typeset it ourselves, then sell
(probably printed only :-( parts of stuff that's still in copyright. Only snag
is, we'd need to keep good books in order to make returns to the
PRS.
I need to repeat (ianal) but I *think* we can do this, we
need to check up on the legalities before we try it for
real...
Cheers,

this, but it's seem the best place to put it in order to get
attention/opinions.
What I'm proposing is some kind of a collaboration
between Lilypond users to submit their scores to an online score (the scores
being engraved from public domain sources, etc.). The money that is made from
the sale of scores (either pdf/ly/both files) could then be distributed in 3
ways:
1) The upkeep of running the store
2) The creator of the score
3) The community
Number 3: A chunk of the money would go into a
piggy bank of sorts, which would be used to, upon application, help fund
sponsorship of Lilypond features.
That's me out... now let the shooting down commence
(hopefully not).
