To clarify: minified-only is obviously bad.

But what if we ship source and the generated minified files?

We do that for other sources that seldomly change, like the outputs from 
qlalr. We also ship generated docs and the generated include/ headers. That's 
for ease of building, not for hiding anything. Remember we have trouble even 
asking for Perl to be present during build.

If that's ok, does it matter that a non-free tool was used? I'm guessing it 
does matter, even if there's a free one can also produce a valid output.
