Presumably someone will generate a set of PDFs and put them on IMSLP.

And people who are not prepared to read the LilyPond sources - they just want the printed score - will get those, and would be wise to do so, since someone malicious could generate an altered version the the LilyPond sources to do bad things. While LilyPond is a specialized interest thing malicious files are not going to happen, except by pranksters, but it is something to bear in mind. (I hate to sound a note of caution).

Richard, 

You make a good point.  We are now thinking of providing the LilyPond sources to Kickstarter contributors as premiums, rather than putting them out in the public domain. 

Thanks,
