The fact that the package is named "GNU Lilypond" sort of implies that
it's sponsored in some meaningful way by GNU.  If that is not in fact the
case, then why are they getting free advertising?

The TeX Users' Group may also be a potential source of funding.  They do
sponsor projects of interest to TeX users from time to time, and Lilypond
certainly seems to be such a thing.  The amounts of money involved are
unlikely to be on the scale necessary to keep someone from needing other
employment, though.
