Apple already open-sources the Clang C/C++ compiler, and its other many 
contributions to LLVM. Almost all of Apple's toolchain below the GUI level is 
open source (as is much of its core OS code.)

Releasing an existing corporate project as open source can take a fair amount 
of work, actually (as I know from experience). I can well believe they've been 
focusing on the technical aspects of getting to 1.0 before starting any process 
to take it open source.
