You are labeling as if you decide for others the label
Microsoft, Apple, IBM, or others are in your mind and heart what you label them, but it doesn't make it so, at least not for everybody. Oracle is communist, Sun is fascist, Linux is anarchist, whatever. Your windmill is twirling and twirling and that's fine that you charge it. We really have no control over what you say and what you lawfully do in exercise of that freedom of speech, unless you live somewhere that you don't and nobody sends someone after you.
