> Look, Automattic can change their license away from the GPL any time they wish. The new license will only apply to new code, though, and WP Engine, or anyone else, are eligible to fork the project. That's what happened with Redis after Redis Labs dropped their BSD license and went with a commercial source-available alternative.

No, that would not be a possibility. Since Automattic is not the copyright holder and GPL prohibits redistribution under an incompatible license, unlike BSD.
