The lilypond installer is an aggregration of several packages, each
under its own license, rather than a derived work which would have to
be under GPL. There is no problem here.
Right. That is my point. You need to make sure when you package the
thing up for redistribution that you do not violate any copyright
terms of the individual components. If you cannot ensure that for some
components, an alternative is that the user takes down those
components by themselves. There is no need that all components of a
package have same copyright license.
