Yes, I agree.
Non-obfuscated, non-free javascript is better than obfuscated one, but it's not enough.

> And then there's the question whether minification is obfuscation as many pages come with huge scripts these days, JS might be bigger than even the image or style sheet content on some pages.

Minification is no problem, as long as the JS file contains a link to a readable, well licenced code.
There remains the problem whether this is really the code I execute or not.
In my opinion, there must be explained how the code was converted, so that people can at least theoretically check if it's true or not. This is necessary because we don't have the possibility to "compile" the code ourselves and run our own compiled version, like we can do with normal programs.
