Well not easy to find.
In paper-defaults-init.ly, you have some variable controlling Footnotes.
By default, the settings are

\paper {
  footnote-separator-markup = \markup \fill-line { \override  
#'(span-factor . 1/2) \draw-hline }
  footnote-padding = 0.5\mm
  footnote-footer-padding = 0.5\mm
  footnote-number-raise = 0.5\mm
  footnote-numbering-function = #numbered-footnotes
  reset-footnotes-on-new-page = ##t
}

If you set :
footnote-separator-markup = \markup \null
it will do the trick.
