Maybe on a home system, but the recently dumped Donkey Kong multi-game arcade looks like an emulation, or partial emulation at least, and that was a licensed product.
Will be easier to tell once we actually have a good dump tho, but even from the bad dump you can see it has "rom.z80" type stuff in there.
Given the legal dispute that's actually surprising.
