In that case, will any of you object if someone writes a parser
generator in C and an implementation of the tree-sitter runtime library
that can be included with Emacs itself (namely, with the copyright
assigned to the FSF?)

They will be able to use any existing tree-sitter grammar, of course.

My opinion is that Emacs should not degrade its text editing
capabilities so drastically if a non-system library (i.e. not ncurses or
Xlib) is not present.
