You are incorrect -- or rather, that doesn't apply to lilypond.
The license states that you may add the optional text "or any
later version".  But this was not done in lilypond 12 years ago.
The COPYING file states the copyright license that lilypond is
under[1]; it does *not* include the "or any later version" clause.

[1] the code, at least.  Docs are FDL, and code snippets may have
their own license.


Again, please read the previous discussions on -devel.  The latest
one happened in June or July of this year.

Cheers,
