Sadly yes it is, in practice. Latest updates are dec 2010 (four
posts). Any posts previous to those 4 are a year old. I'd love that
Petrucci Music Library http://imslp.org/wiki/ supported maintaining of
source lilypond files in the same site. Sceaux and others just link
to their own sites for sources.
Maybe it is a good thing that freely available scores mix scanned and
typeset documents whatever their origin or the software used; but no
doubt that completely free scores are only possible if you have the
source _and_ the typesetting engine is free as in freedom (i.e. Finale
documents are useless for me for a triple reason: I need a costly
software to see them, even if a viewer is available at zero cost I
still can not hack the score, and even if I could, I am not free
because that viewer is prorietary software).
