$100,000? Where did this number come from?

I just went to
https://oraclestore.oracle.com/OA_HTML/ibeCCtpItmDspRte.jsp?a=b&item=234934 and looked at the Sybase transparent gateway. The price is $75.00 USD. This same price is also listed for the Informix gateway.

I'm not saying they can get the license they want for $75.00 USD. But $100,000 is far more than a magnitude larger than what I remember paying.
