Yeah, just call it Bright Star, and swap the pale moon graphic with a
beaming star. Then write the author, let him know what you did, and let
him know that if he'd like the publicity benefit of having a major
distro package Palemoon as Palemoon, he can write Devuan an official
letter giving us permanent non-exclusive right to use the name and
graphic, and we'll be glad to accommodate him with the publicity.

By the way, thanks to emninger's post, I've been using Palemoon as my
main browser for almost a week, and it's head and shoulders better than
ALL the rest. It's less bloaty than the other XUL browsers, and it's
more stable than the webkit based browsers.
