Noticed a different update message from Java today. Looks to me like another company that doesn't understand that the product is already open source, and freely available via other means than the one they offer.

Ha. . . So Java has signed their own death warrant.

this is not new news.

This is only for Java 8. Current is 11. This isn't that "Java costs money", it's "using things that don't update cost money".
Very different. Like if Windows 10 were free, but XP stopped being free once 10 was mature.

That makes sense from how old the version was where I got that popup.
