I haven't seen it on -devel; has it been removed somehow?

Hmm... OTOH, LilyPond *is* a GNU software. They have helped us in some
ways (ok, maybe they could have been even more helpful sometimes, but
we're still using their savannah resources, and so on), and by being
members of the LilyPond community, we are some kind of an extension of
the (very large) GNU community.

It is spam indeed, but not the usual (neither the most intrusive) kind
of spam. Plus, it is the very first time I see such a mail; I don't
think it's a FSF habit...
So, maybe we can just read it if we care, delete and forget it if we
don't, and move on :)
