On GitHub? No. It will get DMCA'd in very short order.
Don't see why it would. The settlement doesn't affect other developers and never even concerned Citra.
Well, citing IGN:
The Citra homepage seems to confirm that.
Yes, the team behind Yuzu and Citra is disbanding, so Citra is being discontinued. But it's an open-source project under a GPL license, so other developers can maintain their own version of it.
...and then risk the same litigation from Nintendo, or at least a DMCA takedown, something which the settlement explicitly mentions.
The strategies that Nintendo used for suing Yuzu wouldn't really work for Citra, as it's not a current system and doesn't even require a firmware/keys. Doubt Nintendo will bother either, they never did for older systems.
Not really, they weren’t sued for Citra, but Nintendo saw their chance.
