I don't see how that would be possible ? Blender is a foundation, not a company (although there's also a company, but.... that's another story) and the code is licensed with GPLv2... you'd have to have ALL contributors from the very beginning (=thousands of people, including the ones who passed away) to agree unanimously to a license change.
Blender is safe.
Nothing is impossible to fuck up when you have enough money and/or lawyers.
I don't think there's an incentive ?
Hopefully it will stay that way.
