The comments on the linked Youtube video suggest so, but I remember ChatGPT telling me that NASA doesn’t share their optimized Fortran compiler.

Anything that NASA civil servants produce and publish is in the public domain by default. NASA can spend public money on contracts that don’t result in public domain information.
In this case, if NASA spends public money to buy (license) a commercially available compiler from PGI, that compiler doesn’t magically become open source just because NASA is a paying customer.
Got it, I can see why people in U.S argue for NASA to receive more funding considering how much they achieve with pretty little. Although I don’t see it viable for humanity to live in another planet as NASA or SpaceX fans tend to say, not even in another 10 thousand years.
