This isn't a patent for LSP (it's an open standard), this is a patent
for their Remote Development package:
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/remote-overview.

Rather different.

This simply isn't what's happening here. I'm just starting work on my
own little project to give non-emacs people a taste of Org's
capabilities. I didn't think the way I spend my time was such a matter
of public concern to the Emacs community.

I guess this criticism may apply to the lsp-mode / eglot packages, but
neither of those have any relation to me.
