Also they assert the right to decide how bsd/linux distributions package their work on pain of lawsuit.

Their behavior was tactless and poorly considered. I wouldn't trust them to make me a ham sandwich let alone maintain my browser.
Just install tridactyl which is about feature complete compared to pentadactyl by now.
Toxic behaviour, misunderstandings of how BSD works, and no interest in working with people doing the hard work for Palemoon.
They demand their own patched versions get included with their browser... With no consideration that they may not even run on BSD.
i have been using it and pentadactyl ever since vimperator stopped working and i love it. it gets updated frequently and fairly recently had a rebase to a newer ff build. also their theming support is really nice and their logo isnt as obtrusive. give it a chance and you won't regret it.
As a project lead, you get to decide things like what goes in the project or leaves. Not everything needs a discussion once it has been decided.
I suspect the "not allowed to be discussed" is implemented so that these discussions are bypassed and those that don't like the decision can simply vote with their feet.
I will say that I understand the need to try to keep control of one's projects and what others do with them. See the recent linux mess for details.
