The tree-sitter library does not have copyright assigned to the FSF.

IMNHSO a text editor should be able to edit languages it supports
out-of-the-box, with only system libraries and what is in
emacs-28.2.tar.gz.

There is no precedent for requiring a third party library that users
have to build themselves to edit text comfortably.  Thus, tree-sitter
(or a 100% reproduction, which is my idea) should come with Emacs
itself.

Optional dependencies such as librsvg, libxml and gnutls are not
precedent here - all three are widely available, and relate to features
that are orthogonal to text editing.
