As one of the early Lazarus developers, I feel the time to react.

IMO, a foundation is for supporting lazarus and not for marketing. IMO,
the foundations should not be called Lazarus but something related to
lazarus.
To me it just reminds me of being in church and hearing about the dead
man pulling of the mummy clothes.
But what can be done is to take Lazarus and make a new word that is
unique and easy to trademark.
again IMO, I don't see the need for trademarking the name lazarus. We're
not selling a product. We're creating it. What if someone else
trademarks a lazarus ide ? Would all my code be void or owned by someone
else ? No. Its still ours. Would it stop me, no. So I don't see a
problem here.
