I disagree. I think "so poorly documented that in practice almost no one
can understand how it works" still can't qualify as "in effect
proprietary".

It just qualifies as "needing a huge amount of work; work that there is
absolutely no one on earth who BOTH wants to do it and already knows
how".

I guess that leaves three possibilities for Emmentaler:

- Someone who doesn't really want to (but is fully capable of) writing
  two very specific major pieces of documentation - "Successfully Using
  Emmentaler Outside of Lilypond" and "Jarlsberg: A Start-to-Finish
  Guide to Creating New Drop-In Replacements for Emmentaler" - decides
  to spend time writing them anyway.

- Or: Someone who wants to write those docs but has no idea how, spends an
  inordinate amount of time and energy learning it by himself.

- Or: Everyone waits to see what will happen.
