Apple can actually do this theoretically since LLVM uses "University of Illinois/NCSA Open Source License" [1].
This license is much like BSD License, which doesn't require to release modification.
For Example, Sony uses LLVM as part of the PS4 Toolchain[2], but they also doesn't release their code.

I was under the impression that Sony pushed upstream a lot of the improvements they made to clang/llvm, but they had to wait until the PS4 was announced to do so.
Well, I doesn't 100% sure that Sony didn't release PS4 LLVM code yet, maybe my memory is wrong?
