The US federal science agencies are generally pretty happy with sharing things. If it's free to the US public, it's free to the world and I love that. Best possible use of my tax dollars.

(We also share weather and hurricane data with the Caribbean countries, for example. None of them could individually afford what the US is doing, so I'm happy we share.)
