 >  1. As of 3.7, YUI Compressor is no longer used, and bumpbot is in
 retirement. uglify.js and cssmin are now leveraged via grunt. These are
 external dependencies as per Gruntfile.js, and are themselves open source
 software of course.

 core's license.txt (as a written offer, as allowed by the GPL, for source
 items where only the built version is shipped). That page does mention YUI
 Compressor.

 I don't want to hijack this ticket for an unrelated subject that I don't
 care too much about, but from those places I could not see which YUI
 version was used to generate 3.1 therefor I can't generate exact copy of
 3.1 with that info without guessing or doing investigative work.
 In this case it is actually worse then the GPL discussion because version
 control 101 is to have all the tools you use available in an exact way
 externally, or even better, tied to a specific version in your VC tool. If
 yahoo decides to stop maintaining the YUI, how will you generate 3.6 and
 earlier after it will be deprecated and probably removed from the build
 machine during the 3.7 cycle?
 Of course, having the correct YUI version is just the beginning, there is
 no documentation that I could find of the bot being used to activate the
 minimization.

 ok, if there is a will we can continue in #25117
