Oops, in my excitement over my *awesome* comic idea, I forgot the
serious answer.
One option would be to ask contributors to assign their copyright
to a LilyPond Foundation, under the assumption that this
foundation would choose the best license for LilyPond.
Potentially even a non-GPL license, if a nicer license with
similar terms comes along. This would avoid the relicensing
issue.
Of course, this plan is also weak against the "assassinate all
members of the (lilypond) foundation" plot.
