​The argument was made that we couldn't use it by default because we can't
get its copyright assigned to the FSF, so we can't include it as part of
Emacs.​

I was arguing that it shouldn't be necessary to have an Elisp package in
the repository.

However, it might still be necessary to have a default dependency be
FSF-copyright; a quick look suggests that, apart from system libraries
(libc), all the mandatory dependencies of Emacs are indeed FSF-copyright.

Therefore, it might still not be possible to use Flycheck by default (as it
might not be possible to obtain copyright assignment even if the current
maintainers supported it), but there's no reason why it couldn't be
supported at build time, like the various optional C libraries, so that it
could "out of the box", just like support for various image formats.
