Because we (the community) could offer a turn-key, no-cost [up front, anyway!] 
installation for any college, university, or composition teacher to create 
great-looking music with their students.

More to the point: I’m a Lilypond power-user, and I don’t currently suggest 
Lilypond for any of my college or private students. If there were a free, 
web-accessible, "code-free" GUI for Lilypond, I would 100% recommend it to all 
my students. I would also immediately suggest it as the de facto standard for 
all the colleges where I am on faculty. Ergo: an open-source license would 
IMMEDIATELY help in its success. QED  ;)

Cheers,
Kieren.
