I could only find the tax statement for the Foundation. Presumably the Corporation filed a separate tax document. Does Mitchell Baker pull a salary from both?
The Foundation's tax statement is for the "Foundations and Subsidary". The subsidary is the Corp.

The Foundation's Board of Trustees certainly wouldn't approve of any money-making scams
Seems that there is some overlap between the boards.

One community member even suggested Mozilla was being too pure and should try to get rich!
I'm not surprised. I often see this attitude from the community towards it's benefactors.

If you read the replies, both in the comments and in the follow-up blog posts, pretty much everyone disagreed with this guy. Open source communities put ideals first. Also, in one of the follow-ups, he mentions that someone wrote to him explaining that, legally, a non-profit can't use its assets (i.e. the Corp) for-profit purposes. The Moz Corp is that its entirely owned by the Foundation, just like a piece of furniture, and thus the non-profit Foundation makes calls the shots.

I've answered your other questions already; reread what I wrote. If you have more detailed legal questions, just email the Foundation directly. I guess in the end we'll just have to wait and see what they do with their money; that's the only way to know for sure.
