Not interested in patented processes. Before any Emacs or GNU software
such as Org within Emacs or Emacs or other software start interacting
by using patented protocols one shall consult attorneys of GNU. Once
attorney confirm that it is alright then go ahead.

See:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/software-patents.html

and

In Emacs world we have Emacs standard. There is no need to rely on
Micro$oft's patented LSP language server protocols. There is so much
more than you think that M$ can interfer with how the above works.

Yes? Don't insist on something that is not, I fully understand what it
is. I am talking of bigger picture and giving you references that may
or may not expand your awareness.

See the patent

Enrich it with unencumbered patent-free solutions.

Adopting patented technologies in GNU projects shall be verified by
GNU attorneys.
