Why would think Mint.com used code from Wesabe? It was release only in June this year, towards the time Wesabe left for the deadpool.

Yes, Wesabe and Mint are two completely different companies. They both used Yodlee, which is most definitely not open-source. Mint no longer uses Yodlee, and Wesabe is dead.

Even if Yodlee was open-source, they're probably using it as a framework without any modification anyway, so would not require release.
