Note that he also has servers to pay for, such as the one that hosts this forum.
Chrono:
The last time he's stated how much he makes per key was several years ago. It had to do with state taxes and he's moved since then.

Which should cost no more than $50 a year. Practically nothing.

I remember someone talking about how Badspot only made $9 from a key or I think I remember reading on Wikipedia that Torque requires a revenue share, would this revenue share go away since the engine is now open source?

TGE 1.3 (Blockland's core engine) =/= Torque3D
Torque3D is becoming open source, TGE 1.3 is not. Torque3D does not require you pay GarageGames, TGE 1.3 does.

But TGE 1.3 is defunct. Badspot might benefit from working out a one-time settlement with garagegames
