I would suspect this too, as folks have been discouraging the use of 
sites that do not support Secure HTTP the past few years.  Google and 
presumably other search engines have been lowering the page rank of 
sites that have no SSL certificate.  That said, calling a site malicious 
because of a lack of a certificate is hardly fair.  I would prefer the 
label to only be applied to sites that have well-documented evidence of 
malware.

Trying to hit the OpenDNS malware information site results in a dead 
end, so there is no way to verify what they have on lilypond.org to 
support the malware classification.  Checking the usual sites shows that 
lilypond.org is not on any blacklist, so it would be essential to know 
why OpenDNS is doing what they are doing.

Off-topic, though funny observation: The only promoted article on 
OpenDNS's support forum is regarding how to delete your account.
