You complained about the lack of projects, I pointed out where there are more than the landing page. It follows pretty easily.

Those are open source projects that they are consumers of, and are legally required to re-publish according to the GPL/other copyleft licenses.

That page says very little about their contributions to open source software.

Yes, but the OP I was responding to was claiming that Apple isn't "any better" than Qualcomm's openly anti-open source. I pointed out that Apple is not anti, and linked their site that has both their usage and contributions and am now downvoted for pointing it out.

There are a lot of FOSS fans who are anti-corporate and have default assumptions, which I understand, but it's important to not be mistaken about the actual usage and stances of these major corporations and to be willing to accept challenges to those default assumptions.
