+in mind the following points:
+
+@itemize
+@item
+LilyPond developers may advertise their services on the lilypnod
+email lists from time to time.
+
+@item
+Any agreements between private individuals should include the
+normal precautions when conducting business: who pays, how much do
+they pay, with what method of payment, and upon what set of
+conditions.  We suggest that any ambiguity or uncertainty in these
+questions should be resolved before any work begins.
