It's inappropriate to cite clang as Apple-authored;  it's an open source project which Apple puts resources into, just like the Linux kernel is an open source project which other companies put resources into.

This is just a citation for a general reference, rather than a specific quote from the source code and/or website?  I would just leave out the author entirely.

John.
