Yuzu is licensed under GPL so that’s a no go because of copyleft clauses. If they use Ryujinx code it’ll have to be listed in legal / copyright notices because it’s using MIT license.

Then again Yuzu devs were able to keep latest builds behind a paywall so they probably could get all of the developers to sign the rights over.

In-house solution would still be preferable to those. Yuzu and Ryujinx had to be reverse engineered and Nintendo has all the docs.
