We don't have a GNU language server; what we do have is CEDET.
So we should continue maintaining CEDET.

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.
