Not really, the license is one of the non-negotiable aspects of Wikimedia projects.

With enough support, everything is negotiable.

Aside from the fact that every single contributor would have to be asked to agree to the change of the license as it would allow the distribution of Wikipedia content under CC-0, if it is really a problem that Wikidata is reusing Wikipedia content the way it is currently doing, then this is a huge problem for Wikidata. Determining wether this is the case is precisely what this task is about.

The solution to such a potential massive license violation on Wikidata cannot be to retroactively change the license of Wikipedia, but Wikidata would need to be cleaned up. Especially, and I'm just repeating what has already been said numerous times in this thread, because there are many sources Wikidata uses which aren't CC-0 either.
