Hadoop, AOLserver, early support for Mozilla
Yahoo had YUI which fell out of fashion.

Yahoo released their geographic data catalogue under open license and it still lives on as https://whosonfirst.org/

Afaik https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_ZooKeeper started at Yahoo

https://vespa.ai/ was Yahoo's search engine for news and other content product, now spinned off (https://techcrunch.com/2023/10/04/yahoo-spins-out-vespa-its-...)

Apache Traffic Server, AOLserver (no idea why I used this a long time ago)
