The Suyu project arose out of "a passion for Switch emulation" and a desire not to see "years of impressive work by the Yuzu team go to waste," Sharpie said. But that passion is being tempered by a cautious approach designed to avoid the legal fate that befell the project's predecessor.

After consulting with an unnamed "someone with legal experience" (Sharpie would only say "they claimed three years of law school" [emphasis mine]) . . .

Oh good, sounds like they're ready and prepared to mount a defense against a multi-billion-dollar company which is know for its litigious nature and has a history of absolutely destroying anyone who it thinks is violating its rights. No worries, they're all set.
