How does Sandisk make money from royalties?

According to the CompactFlash Association (CFA), CFA members get a free license to the CF specifications. Membership to the CFA can be obtained for $2,500. BTW Sandisk doesn't get that cash, the CFA gets it.

So when someone buys a CF card manufactured by someone other than Sandisk, does Sandisk get any more revenue than IBM does when someone buys an IBM compatible PC from Dell?
