Royalties should be for anything involving the design of the pcb only, not metalwork that could apply to any pcb.
However its a few extra dollar to support a worthy cause, so I don't have a problem with it.
But they should be required to prominently put an ad for Bridechamber on their site if this is going to happen.
Otherwise, remove the "klee" term from the panel, call it Seequencer or Klay or something and no royalties.
