Apple I think relies heavily on the BSD project (I think they might be even using the same kernel?) and Google on Linux. There's also probably a lot of open-source software they use behind the scenes or which aren't as big.
They use their own kernel but a lot of the userland is FreeBSD-based (and some senior FreeBSD contributers are also Apple employees)
