    I’m not taking about sealing some government secrets. I’m taking about building a fun hobby project with some sort of targeting system. Think a small rocket that drops a payload or a water balloon launcher.

      Okay but that has no relevance at all to what the comment you were replying to was about. Companies contracted by the government and DOD specifically to create rockets are guaranteed to be covered by ITAR. Meaning open sourcing them would be impossible, regardless of the first amendment or anything else.

      There’s a massive massive difference between the software for a DOD contracted rocket like SpaceX makes, and hobbyist rocketry.

              Okay but again as has been pointed out to you, that has no bearing on government contracted products like this, whether that’s code or rockets or anything else the government doesn’t want to just share with the entire world.

              That’s like saying hate speech/discrimination is protected under the first amendment
