This is (not an identical copy, but clearly derived from) JSHint
version 2.1.3 <URL:https://github.com/jshint/jshint/releases/2.1.3>.

Receipients do not have free-software license in this work. The only
license granted has the non-free “Good, not Evil” restriction.

This same content is found (according to sources.debian.net) in:

* firefox
* firefox-esr
* iceweasel
* icedove

Maintainer, should we make separate bug reports for each of those?
