I'm not sure, but IMO now it's a daughter of Embarcadero.

Not yet - maybe after the next Delphi desaster? ;-)

I wouldn't find it so bad when Embarcadero cared for marketable 
products, keeping Delphi alive, while Lazarus/FPC would make the 
trendsetters and provide IDEs for all supported platforms. In contrast 
to Lazarus, Delphi "X" will be a crosscompiler only, running only on 
Windows.
