I'm confused, didn't they open source it almost five years ago? http://developer.yahoo.com/blogs/ydn/posts/2007/07/yslow_rel... (though the license is now BSD.. but is this newer YSlow a different version that was not previously open source?)

(Update: Aha, there's a blog post at http://developer.yahoo.com/blogs/ydn/posts/2012/02/welcome-y... - it doesn't explain much to do with my question but it seems becoming BSD makes it more open source than under the Mozilla Public License? :-))

That's the only name of internal yahoo projects i really like the Y at the start.

They append Y to anything. So there's usually names like YCoolThing. And you go about "why you are questioning CoolThing?!"

but YSlow is just perfect.

How can you read Y as Why? Is it WhyCombinator for you?
