Exactly, and nothing is stopping us from building a LSP server based
on CEDET, be it in the same Emacs process where a the LSP client
is running, or in a separate one.

Any of these options (especially the second) seem interesting at first
sight.
This server could leverage the jsonrpc.el library I recently pushed into
Emacs.

If we do this, other editors, potentially freedom-denying editors
would be able to interact with said CEDET-based language server.  This is
no worse than those editors using GCC or GDB, for example.
