The file jsonlint.js is copied from the following project: https://github.com/josdejong/jsonlint at 85a19d7 which is a fork of the (currently not maintained) project: https://github.com/zaach/jsonlint The forked project contains some fixes to allow the file to be bundled with browserify. The file is copied in this project to prevent issues with linking to a github project from package.json, which is for example not supported by jspm. As soon as zaach/jsonlint is being maintained again we can push the fix to the original library and use it as dependency again.
