Fair 'nuf!  I definitely don't want this to be an issue, so I rescind my 
request.

However, now that it is rescinded and I have no direct interest anymore, I 
still stand by what I said and really think people should not shy away from the 
logic I'm putting forward.

The real-estate value of the upper right corner of lilypond.org is huge.  
Currently it is unexploited property, just sitting there.  If there are people 
who can offer LilyPond-friendly exchanges for it that fulfill the criteria of 
(1) bringing value to LilyPond; and (2) not compromising the integrity of the 
page or of LilyPond's status as free software, then I think it is absolutely 
essential that LilyPond cultivate its real estate to this end.  Otherwise, it 
is wasted potential.
