Hi Simen,

Was there any reason to not build on the existing json-mode that was in MELPA, which already was downloaded roughly 100k times? Did the original author refuse to assign copyright and put their package on ELPA? 

In any case, was the name conflict necessary? Hijacking the name of the existing and established package seems bad form — but maybe I'm misunderstanding something?

Cheers,
Clément.
