It's possible to do GPL2 or later, and many projects do, but Linux did not do that. OpenSSL also did a big license change, it took years. But Linux has so many more contributors that I think it's another scale than projects like OpenSSL or VLC. But as you say, there are other reasons they don't want to change, besides it merely being heard.
