Is that so? Which examples do you have where Apple freeloads some GPL software? As far as I can tell Apple stopped adopting any GPL-3 code and effectively has stopped updating GPL-2 dependencies. They are in the process of completely removing it.
On the other hand Apple still contributes actively to a lot of non GPL licensed Open Source code including LLVM.
