Hi,

When trying MuseScore, one of the first things that happen is a dialog
box that pops and suggests I download Muse Sounds, which if I understand
correctly are non-free plugins that musescore can use.

That's clearly against the FSDG, which says [0]

A free system distribution must not steer users towards obtaining any
nonfree information for practical use, or encourage them to do so.


We should look into disabling that pop-up and see if there are other
links to the non-free resources in the application.

Thanks,
Maxim
