"Shall be" does not state when.  It's certainly not a replacement for a
formal submission.  If someone finds a way to get hold of the author and
get him to place the thing in some public place with a clear license
statement, it would not get lost in case he becomes harder to reach.

The problem is that he had already become harder to reach.
Anyway, i think it would be a good idea to try to contact him using
other means - telephone, other email?
But this should be done by someone speaking German.  For example, i
found this http://telefonbuch-suche.com/torsten-h%C3%A4mmerle-kleinschmidtstra%C3%9Fe-69115-heidelberg
but i'm not sure if it could be of actual use because i don't
understand German and thus don't understand the full context :-/

I'll give that a try.
But it's of course not sure that this actually points at the right place ...

Trying to call that number was responded by "Unknown Number".
Together with this: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2013-12/msg00499.html

I think we can conclude that Torsten Hämmerle _is_ unavailable for the time being.

Wo what should we do?
I reread the statement in Torsten's initial message:

" At any rate, the whole LilyJAZZ issue shall be open and free (just like Lilypond), so I first had to create my own fonts in order to become independent of commercial ones."

and I'm quite positive that this is meant as a submission to LilyPond's licence.

Please have look at https://github.com/openlilylib/snippets/blob/master/custom-music-fonts/LilyJAZZ/README.md
for my reasoning and proposed solution.

So: All that have worked with and on LilyJAZZ in the meantime, please make it available in our library.
Please create an includable LilyJAZZ.ily file in that folder, a working LilyJAZZ-example.ly file beside, and complete the README with installation/usage instructions.
