A lot of the Leica-branded lenses have an aperture ring that doesn't work on Olympus bodies. Besides that, both brands have proprietary lens + body stabilization that only work if the lenses and bodies match.

As mentioned in the next clause of that sentence, the aperture ring does not work on Olympus bodies.
