The part of them that one includes in ones own code, if large enough to be
copyrightable. If you just look at them and write something else, it does not
matter.
How so? When I wrote fret-diagram code, and before it was accepted in the
distribution, it could be contained in an included .ly file.
When the fret-diagram code was executed, no part of that code ended up in the
resulting PDF or PNG files. The fret-diagram code created ink at specified
locations; but the specified locations were not part of the code I wrote.
Instead they were generated by the interaction of the main lilypond
distribution with the music input I wrote. And the result was printed music
that matched my intent. If the music was original, the copyright was mine.
If I was transcribing music from another composer, the copyright remained with
the composer.
The GPL had no influence on the copyright of the printed music.
