i'm sure with enough "care" any framework could be torn apart into the components necessary for a wordpress rework
that said, you could likely copyright your code published or not. you may have to classify your work as a work of fact, fiction, or technical schematic to patent it. (costing $1,000s working with a patent lawyer)
presuming that's occurred, you'll now need to invest financially into a system or time or both to begin searching out offenders and proceeding legally. not unlike you see done by stock photo companies off searching the web for their image code blocks.
if you wanted to get into this business it seems pretty open, but as html is published under particular copyrights, maybe our use agreement to code with it prevents us from protecting it so aggressively
