I was also thinking that a small company might want to license it... my first thought came to CMX, which made me shudder (they got a hold of my beloved Hitsuji no Namida!). But still, it'd be better than nothing.
Actually, I vowed some years ago that I would never buy Englishified manga again. (The original Japanese counterparts are cheaper, and they force me to translate.) The only reason I care whether titles get licensed or not is... I need to rant about series to people. It really sucks knowing one great series and not having anyone to talk about it with (see my thread:
Posutaru WORK - I bet you anything that there are no replies). Anyways, that's my lame reasoning.

Recently, I don't know (I don't keep track of that stuff
). But wasn't Kingdom Hearts a Square Enix title? It drew popularity from the games, of course, but the fact remains that it's SE, so I would suppose that KH would open the window to other SE titles? Non?
Edit: Alright alright, CMX isn't that bad. I just have an unreasonable, irrational grudge against it. :P
