Chances are they'd grab that and try to revive what the 'Sailor Moon' crazy started.
Actually, what's happened with the 4kids license isn't too odd... When they did Tokyo Mew Mew they originally said that it would air in the fall and then didn't air it until Februrary after one of their other shows went on hiatus.

I suspect that we might finally see what 4kids has wrought with Pretty Cure in a week or two.... scary. However, if it doesn't air in Feb, I think it's a good bet they passed on the license after all. Which would be a real shame, looking at the big picture: Pretty Cure has been dubbed into German, Spanish, Italian, Korean, and Mandarin (and probably something else I don't know about), and it would make english, the world's most "common" language be the only language pretty cure wouldn't be available in.
