We should not argue like that. There is no definition of what a "Free Software company" is.
Did you see this?

Yes. It does not contain a tangible definition. "Free Software companies are companies that have adopted business models in which the revenue streams are not tied to proprietary software model licensing conditions." Does that mean a bakery is a free software company? Is Slideshare a Free Software company, because it is not licensing proprietary software? And once a business is labeled a "Free Software company", what does that really mean? It is still not an entity operating with the common good in mind.
And please don't get me started on the economics aspects of it :-)
