Wait a second, back up. It’s used for what now?

I didn’t realize there was a community or something who would get upset by that.

It’s a common occurrence. Look at it like two neighboring nations, for example. One of them has technologies and resources the other does not. The sort that improves quality of life in ways infeasible to the other. In a normal diplomatic relationship, the country with the technology would, perhaps, share the secrets and knowledge of such things out of a sense of kindness or humanitarianism. That sort of thing. Builds a working relationship that then spawns alliances and all that follows.
