I haven't looked at the SRAM patent portfolio, but I'm guessing some of it is Campy licensing the wireless patents.
Also, I'm not sure if your comparison is of value, since I doubt anyone really cares what the MSRP for DA is since most of their component sales are through the OEM channel, whereas Campy is OEM on only a handful of brands that nobody is buying anyways.
