Paul, though I do not know the specifics of the SNDK agreements with other companies on royalties, in general, a royalty is based on a percent of sales price of licensed items, typically about 8 percent. Thus, if the number of units goes up, and the average capacity in mb per unit goes up, then it is likely the average price per unit also goes up, and with it the royalty to SNDK. I do know that SNDK has cross licensing agreements with companies such as Intel, and therefore gets no royalties from Intel, nor does it pay Intel any royalties.
