Hi all,
I have a question concerning the GPL. Is it permissible for an app
under a GPL-incompatible license to provide output in LilyPond code?
For example, could Finale provide a Finale->LilyPond converter even
though the mechanics are shrouded in mystery?
Thanks,
David
Finale could provide a Finale->LilyPond converter, but it could not use
LilyPond GPL code to do so.
The LilyPond language is not copyrighted; the LilyPond code is, as far as I
understand.
