OK, this is one of those questions with an "it depends" answer (which obviously it does). Still, I am sure there are some industry benchmarks. The question is: how much should be considered a fair price to be paid as royalty (or licensing fee) for use of embedded software (like a protocol stack)? What are some models that can be considered? Any ballpark/benchmark figures?
What are some ballpark/benchmark figures for royalties for using a protocol stack (or such other embedded software)?

Isn't the usual rule "all that the market will bear"?
Yes, for sure, but I am also sure that there are some benchmarks or at lease some relevant examples someone might be able to give, and from which one can learn something.
the first 'retailer' of a GMS stack wanted over a million.
now I think that if you go to the right vendor you can have it free with the right quantity of silicon.
