Ask HN: Why so many dupes of the article “Oracle finally targets Java non-payers”

If you look at submissions from theregister.co.uk (https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=theregister.co.uk) you'll notice an article has been posted not one, not two, but five times in the past ~48 hours, and by real accounts that have existed for much longer than 48 hours. Maybe I'm just too new to HN, but I don't think I've ever seen something reposted this many times and with such frequency.

Any ideas why there are so many reposts?
