It’s the same if you publish a book using TeX: While original TeX is PD and
some other parts have their own licenses, those never apply to the contents of
your book or the PDF or printed version of it, because the code of TeX (or
LilyPond) isn’t in there, it was just used to generate the result. (Same if you
use OS software to generate graphics, videos etc.)
A *program* that’s using open source code *contains* this code (in compiled
form).
On the other hand if I write a book *about* TeX and show a lot of its code or
copy examples from the FDL-licensed documentation, my book also falls under
that license. While the publisher can sell copies, we can’t prohibit users to
make their own copies, becaus the book is derived work of the publicly
available documentation.
