My understanding of it is that EA basically have first refusal on the Premier League and a couple of other leagues, but even if they didn't, the cost for the English leagues alone is astronomical. As long as edit mode exists in PES, there'll be a community driven focus for getting kits and leagues out there.
Individual clubs from a couple of leagues are then allowed to negotiate per-club licensing deals, hence PES having 1 or 2 Prem clubs. Where it gets interesting is the international leagues where there are less stringent exclusivity clauses. For example, Serie A allow clubs to negotiate fully exclusive licenses, which is why Juve weren't in FIFA last year but were in PES. The focus for licensing, I believe, is around South America, where PES still kills it.
Haven't heard anything, but to be fair I also haven't asked
