Then it would seem that many of us have forgotten what brought LilyPond
to them in the first place.

Without the GNU project, there would be no LilyPond.  We would not have
a build platform, we would not have GUILE, we would not have the
enthusiasm of its founders.  Without Free Software, it is not even
conceivable how LilyPond could have been started.
