For business maybe. 

People forget the bottom line; FPC and Lazarus are HOBBY projects
for the core developers. We do not want or need to make money with
them. Otherwise we would not have made it open source in the first 
place.

If you do happen to make money on the side with it: congratulations. 

But do not expect business arguments to have any influence whatsoever
on the core developers. That includes name changes, which are simply 
not debatable.

Michael.
