I got the notification when I updated my Java VM.  I do have the SDK
nstalled.
Personal licenses are still free until the year 2020.  Business's will have
to obtain a commercial license.  I thought maybe at first, it might only
apply to Java SE version 8, as that was what I had installed.
But, I came across this:

and

I've read that they will try to make the process for OpenJDK interchangeable,
so companies can still go that route, lacking support and enterprise
management tools.

I'll do further research to see exactly what this implies.
