Already their TOS gives them broad permissions, it just stops short of indemnification. Their TOS arguably already turns people posting projects containing third party copylefted code into license violators, -- yet people are still using them.

So I wouldn't be so sure-- but moreover, I think my larger point remains: the entire world being fragmented into separate licensing is a huge moat.
