Yes although given current user behaviour and expectations I doubt they would make enough money to continue.
If even a Microsoft Executive is saying that anything on the web can be freely copied then what does a normal user think.

They're a charitable nonprofit, and the Mozilla license is one of the more permissive ones; they're fine with you freely sharing their work.
They currently already get 7M/year in donations for no purpose. I imagine they'd get a lot more if that money would fund Firefox, and how many core/paid developers do they really need if they have people that know that they're doing?
Wikipedia doesn't fund itself by spying on you and selling the data. They ask for money.
