replyDo current Unreal Engine 3 developers get these additions for free? Is this a whole new engine that must be bought, or do they simply buy the upgrade?

I'm almost 100% certain they get all new upgrades and additions to the engine free. Hell they aready paid $300,000 for it... isn't that the going rate? or is it $100k?

Looks like it. From a recent Epic PR: "The new lighting features are bundled with Unreal Engine 3 and benefit all current and future engine licensees. Like all of Epic’s engine features, Unreal Lightmass is available at no additional cost to licensees."
