Any startup that uses HotSpot, so if it uses Java, Clojure or Scala there's a chance it is tied to Oracle.

  This is nonsense. Pretty much everyone uses Oracle's JDK. But I've never heard or seen anyone paying for a license for it.

    He didn't ask who was paying for Oracle software, he asked who was running Oracle software, so the answer is not nonsense.

      "Tied to Oracle" means they are somehow locked in to Oracle. No one who uses Java/Clojure/Scala falls into this. OpenJDK exists and is fine.

      And he forgot MySQL. But the way the original question was asked it was strongly implied that it is about their payed, enterprise offers. Not the open source software they unwittingly bought. They do nice work of killing mysql though.
