+10

I have an issue though with the non-exclusive right: it means anyone downstream from us has to drop the package or renegotiate.

This is why there is Iceweasel instead of Firefox.

Ask PM's maintainer what he really wants.

It's work, but a systematic rebranding of Palemoon with another theme (not Bright Star :-) might be another idea. PM has already done it for Firefox, so it should be easy to figure out what to do.

My vote: Europa. One of the coolest moons in the solar system. apt-cache search europa returns nothing.

My thanks also, I have been using it too.
