To me propaganda implies lying by a state, and marketing lying by a corporation.
This is true ...
"Marketing" is not neutral, but commercial. It does not mean exactly
"spread the word",
but more likely "build a strong image of something, so that people
would buy it"
(sometimes at the expense of quality ...). Anyway, the idea of seling makes the
term "marketing" not to fit very well in our case.
"Propaganda" sounds better ( even though the word might have an issue
because it was used in expressions like "communist propaganda" ).
The most neutral term i can think of is "Promoting FPC/Lazarus" .
