We don't need papers for the source code of a free library that is
used outside of Emacs.

Originally we made Emacs link with the Xmenu library.  When
that library became obsolete but we kept using it, we put it
into the Emacs release and renamed it to oldXmenu, but we continued
to say it was not a part of Emacs, just used with Emacs.

We can include other libraries the same way.

BTW, please don't use the term "MIT license" or "MIT-licensed".  See
