Re: Permission to utilise lilypond code

[Jahrme Risner]

Hello Daniel,

GNU LilyPond is published under the GNU General Public License. I would suggest 
reading through [https://lilypond.org/gpl.html](http://lilypond.org/gpl.html) 
to understand what that entails. http://lilypond.org/gpl.html

Best wishes,
Jahrme
