"If the future of flash is limited because of this new technology that would impact the amount of the future-use license compensation and, therefore, the amount of the overall settlement."

If the future of flash is diminished....the technical of e.Digital will not be reduced.

e.Digital is not concerned with the physical state of  chalcogenide glass, or the physical state of trapping of electrons.

It makes no difference to them...they will utilize what ever is best to bind  logic and memory.

The only thing e.Digital is concerned with ....managing the chalcogenide or electrons...what ever....with an order of 1's and 0's they see fit.
