I'd go so far as to say "nearly all of them."

There's a few counterexamples, which is a good thing:

iXSystems does a lot of cool community work via FreeNAS, PC-BSD and FreeBSD.

Github (Ruby), thoughtbot (Ruby), Google (Go, Python), Dropbox (Python), AT&T (C++, Ruby), Zurb (Ruby, Foundation), Twitter (Ruby, Scala), ...

missing a bunch and some platforms too.

Also part of the reason I grabbed the eject handles on enterprise devops consulting. Although I did manage to fight and win open sourcing changes to net-ldap so that it worked with A-D.
