Inspiring story, indeed.
But - as with the OpenGoldberg project - there is a significant 
difference to our initiative. Both the Goldberg Variations and Debian 
are somewhat "central works". Of course Bach more than an operating 
system, but you'll get what I mean.

Not having a free book about Debian is definitely a bigger loss than not 
having a free edition of Fried's music.

So the incentive in our case should probably be targeted more at 
LilyPond itself, or the quality of free software in general and the 
power of plain text based workflows in particular.
