For babel 6 instead of monkey patching the preset and/or forking it and publishing it, you can also just wrap the original plugin and set the strict option to false.

Something along those lines should do the trick:

const es2015preset = require('babel-preset-es2015');
const commonjsPlugin = require('babel-plugin-transform-es2015-modules-commonjs');

es2015preset.plugins.forEach(function(plugin) {
  if (plugin.length && plugin[0] === commonjsPlugin) {
    plugin[1].strict = false;
  }
});

module.exports = es2015preset;
