They could release it under a new system under no license or under some other open license.
But Mongoose actually did release Runequest under the
OGL, so that would be out (unless you made some other arrangement).
The unfortunate bit is that the
OGL is the de facto RPG standard due to long use and extensive material released under it. There's pretty much no chance that some other open license will become the new standard because gamers and game publishers are ornery and prefer their own slight variation on an open license to piggy-backing on somebody else's open license.
