The Basic on the Commodore PET was written by Microsoft (on the early PET's, typing and entering 'WAIT6502,X' (X=0-255) would fill the screen with the text "MICROSOFT".
Commodore rewrote the MS Basic for their later machines, although the startup screen on the Commodore 128 displays the following:
COMMODORE BASIC V7.0 122365 BYTES FREE
(C)1985 COMMODORE ELECTRONICS, LTD.
(C)1977 MICROSOFT CORP.

There's a bit of info about Basic on the Commodore machines here.
