I don't think it is likely at all even in decades, and if they did they would be sued by loads of contributors for violating their binding promise to adhere with free software spirit in future licenses. You get some guarantees when you assign your copyright to the FSF.
And all this is ignoring that most GNU programs are licensed under a GPL variant and any future version, so they would not need the copyright to upgrade the license anyway.
