WPE not only releases everything under the GPL, they are committers to the upstream source. Or were, anyway.
It's true that Automattic could switch their to distribution to GPLv3 (unlike Linux, it's "GPLv2 or later"). This would release a shitstorm of biblical proportions from every WP host on the planet, not just WPE. It would guarantee at least one fork becoming adopted by many of those hosts. Certainly many hours of entertainment.
