Let me just sketch one scenario, entirely possible. And the risk of its bittorrent function being hacked, a real risk that others have already pointed out, is not even the greatest danger. MuseHub is just as dangerous as if it were malware. They may very well act in good faith.īut that is not the point. Nor do we know the intentions of the team. There is no need to assume at this moment that MuseHub is malware - there is no indication that it is, nor that it isn't. Whoever claims that MuseHub is not dangerous must be incredibly naive. I am very worried about this and the future of MuseScore.Ībsolutely. In what alternate reality does that make any sense? If this is not Defective-By-Design, what is?

And you're incentivised into using this software (which would in any other circumstance rightly be described as malware) by getting a shiny present like MuseSounds: "oh no, you can't download this soundfont unless you give full control of your system to our proprietary updater". Having such "update" software closed source and running with root privileges is a huge red flag. But this means less control for the software proprietors. We have package managers that do that for us. The whole concept of software checking for updates is absurd to any Linux user. It may be overly cynical of me to point this out, but it really looks like a way to circumvent GNU GPL. MuseScore is slowly becoming proprietary software, through the introduction of third-party proprietary tools that "solve" problems introduced by regressions in MuseScore.
