It's important to remember that the DSF is a non-profit foundation registered under US laws, which restrict what it can do. Many types of "just act like a business and sell things" ideas are automatically illegal for a non-profit foundation.

Can they open/own a for profit consulting company, which is taxed as a normal company but gives all profit/dividend back to foundation?

Yes they may. The proceeds of that company would be paid to the foundation.
