I know it may not be an easy question to answer, but does your company really owe them money? I’m guessing that their other software that uses their JVM also has a license, so they should be more clear about the company having to license out the JVM in order to use it. This sounds like a scam that comes packaged along with some other software.

Oh - sorry, Oracle offers a free "entitlement" to use the JVM when used with their software if it's required. We don't pay extra for the Oracle JVM.
