Well, Gass was/is a patent lawyer, and he had every right to make his
patent(s) watertight (as it/they apparently is/are). Whether he has the
right to charge as much as he wanted for a license is another question
that
litigation should clarify.

For now, in the USA he has the right to charge whatever he wants. .02
cents or 2 trillion, whatever.

In the face of a regulatory mandate, you've got to wonder at one point the
fees would kill the market,

There is no regulatory mandate.

If the regulatory mandate is added, then Reasonable and Nondiscriminatory
(RAND) license rates are required.
