Has Apple sought a royalty on Android? My belief has been that Apple refused to license any of their patents. They've sued Samsung not to extract royalties, but to stop them infringing Apple's patents, full-stop.

Who said Apple would sell CPUs to competitors? You don't monopolize a market by having competitors. Not real ones anyway.
When ? I am only aware of one situation in their history i.e. Android where Apple has sought an ongoing royalty.

What ? Apple is never going to sell their CPUs to their competitors. They are a product company not a components vendor so not sure what market you are referring to. Also Intel sells modem components as well.
