Speculation alert: (hell, what else are we doing in this thread?

Their business model isn't selling the OS to the end user. Even if they are hoping to get into that eventually (who wouldn't be?), they aren't funding themselves doing that now. They want the big deals with China and Russia (and Brasil, India, etc. etc.) to go forward, and this stuff with Sony (and by extension us) is really just to facilitate that - to get the OS out there, on more devices, tested.

I'd guess they're going to charge us more or less exactly what they have to pay to Myriad etc. for licenses [edit: and I'd further guess the charge to us has more to do with getting them to sign the licenses than the actual cost]. I'd be shocked if it's anything close to 100$.
