Re-reading the header, it really sounds like it's just mentioning the original implementation's license and copyright, but in no way that would influence this implementation's license if it's a complete reimplementation from scratch without reusing any of the non-free code.
Indeed, jsmin 2.0.7 from pypi[1] says:
# This code is original from jsmin by Douglas Crockford, it was translated to
# Python by Baruch Even. It was rewritten by Dave St.Germain for speed.
#
# The MIT License (MIT)
#
# Copyright (c) 2013 Dave St.Germain
#
# [ here follows the MIT license *without* the good not evil clause ]

So I suspect our current version of jsmin.py is just mentioning the orignal jsmin.c's license.
Updating our jsmin.py so we have upstream's current header which is less confusing would be nice.
