This topic is not that easy, as expresses the numerous replies showing
the different concerns of everyone.

One or two French users also made a similar proposition and asked where
they could send such donations to a "general (LilyPond Develoment)
fund". This is a different approach than the "pay-per-feature/fix".

I think MuseScore funding relies (mainly?) on musescore.com "Pro Account",
providing an enhanced version of musescore.com storage site for scores.

IIRC lasconic (Nicolas Froment) said the 3 main developers (Werner
Schweer, Thomas Bonte and himself) are now working full-time on
MuseScore. Actually I planned to speak with them about that point at
FOSDEM. Does someone have some specific questions I could ask?
I'd say also that a project like "Open Goldberg" is not bad for
MuseScore. I don't know if they earn a lot of money from it but at
least it brings MuseScore a nice visibility.

AFAIK LilyPond has not been "involved" in such kind of projects.
Cheers,
Xavier
