Hi Jean,

I can see that you're overly concerned about Microsoft being able to
somehow exert control over this. It may assuage your concerns to see an
example "technology stack" that Org-LSP could fit into.

1. Org / Emacs, all GPL-3
2. Rust LSP server + Rust cargo extensions, none of which are written by M$ 
(all GPL-compatable)
3. Kakoune LSP = Rust, using the "unlicence" licence
4. Kakoune (an experimental text editor, with /no/ relation to M$)

Microsoft has provided a /standard/ that a huge number of editors/IDEs
have adopted with /independent implementations/. At this point there is
/nothing/ M$ could do to interfere with how the above works.

You seem to be focusing on the term "server" in the name. This seems to
be a red herring in this case. In LSP the server is analogous to "emacs
--daemon" and the client to "emacsclient".

I appreciate your concerns Jean, and am aware of Microsoft's history,
however I do not believe there is any factual basis for your conclusions
in this instance.

There is no need to loose sleep over an LSP Server for Org existing :)
On the contrary, I think it has the potential to ultimately enrich the
Org community (see previous discussions).
