Isn't there a term for this? I think it's "blackmail"
Not at all. There are (oversimplifying things) two sides in this discussion, each side is telling the other side that they're wrong and will harm the project if they continue. If you're on one side you'll see the other side's arguments as blackmail. Same goes to Frederik, the ODbL group is trying to convince people that ODbL is the way to go and CC-By-SA is harmful, the CC-By-SA tries to convince them of the contrary. Both sides try to lobby the OSMF too. Both sides would prefer that the other side forks the project and they're left alone to continue as OpenStreetMap. If you don't express you opinion and try to convince others, you've failed, let's not try to censor this completely normal process of communication in a group project.
