But generally that technology is the property of the US taxpaeyers

Very true! We agree absolutely on this one!

And when the software is open source I truly get to use my own property that I paid for with my taxes. I mean I actually get to use it myself, not have to pay for it yet again because the government allowed a contractor to resell it.

You care only about corporate profit off the taxpayer, not the taxpayer himself.

Already been over this, OF COURSE. Just because American citizens may get access doesn't mean every citizen of the world deserves access. Have Americans apply, and if they are found to actually be Americans, and not illegal aliens or actually living and working in Cuba, they might get access.

It simply doesn't make sense that we have to give every right we give Americans to everyone in the world. Do you want everyone in Africa on US welfare? Well in your case, probably.
