shorting to borrow money vs margin loans


I noticed my broker hasn't charged me interest yet going using margin because I'm shorting and borrowing stock giving me a credit to keep my margin balance near 0.

The stocks I'm shorting says it has 0% floating rate if that helps.

I understand what could go wrong isn't this a free loan if the stocks you short don't have huge swings?
