Jan and Han-Wen,
If you guys can get a Google Grant for your LilyPond non-profit in the
Netherlands, now would be a fantastic time to run ads on Google getting
Sibelius users to check out LilyPond. It's sad that it takes an event like this
to generate interest in open source software, but at the same time, it'd be a
huge waste of money and time if these people tried to somehow revive Sibelius.
If somehow this turn of events resulted in a spike in LilyPond users, that'd be
a great boon to the community.
Cheers,
MS
