I have read on some Linux related website where Apple and Microsoft were listed as contributors in Linux development (among others like Redhat , IBM and Intel )

I wonder what these two has contributed in Linux development ...?

http://www.cups.org/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LLVM
http://www.webkit.org/

There are probably more, but those three projects come to mind first for me.
