I was under the impression that Acacia was seeking 2% of our
gross income with a minimum annual payment of $1,500.
But then I read the License:

If I understand correctly, someone who estimates their likely annual earnings to be no more than $100,000 would pay a $1,500 royalty in advance. But then it turns out that your actual earnings for the year are $100,001, Acacia will demand an additional $8,100, thus you'd be paying Acacia $9,600 or 9.6% of your gross income!
And in this Ynot story:

I can't wait to see what the higher fees will be
