Of course. There are other repositories as well:

One of the reason why I opened the lilynet.net website was to have a
library of LilyPond scores (that, unlike Mutopia, would be primarily
available as source code, and would be kept up-to-date with LilyPond
latest development releases as much as possible). I haven't gotten
around to build the necessary components yet, but it's still on the
table.

Licensing issues are a bit more complex, since what we'd ideally need
is a license that covers *both* the source code (think GPL, for
example) and the score as a compiled, ready-to-play pdf (CC do a great
job at that, but so does Free Art License for example). (I've been
working on such a license for a few years now, so that's also
something I'd like to make happen eventually :-)

Cheers,
