Could the Mercenaries franchise be up for licensing?

Just a few moments ago, I spoke to an EA employee over the phone. I asked about licensing a discontinued game, the Mercenaries franchise. Through the conversation, there was no sign of denial, the employee said it would be likely for someone to buy the license to Mercenaries if they wanted to.
What do you guys think about this? Do you think some developer should buy the license? I think someone should, Mercenaries was a great game, along with many other games produced by Pandemic.
Just found this interesting, might want to check into this, eh?

probably wouldn't happen - most of the big publishers will just sit on an IP if they aren't using it, saving it for a rainy day. It would be much cheaper to do a spiritual successor.
