Well, at least in my experience with EU projects, they tend to be much more restrictive with data sharing than equivalent US institutions: e.g. a lot of paid EUMET data has publicly available NOAA equivalents - though usually of worse quality.
Yes! That government agencies data is PD is a nice feature of US law, we should implement that in EU.
Try to ask the NRO for their images and see how you go :)
Intelligence gathering data vs weather data. Yeah, that's the same thing.
Not Public Domain, TD - Taxpayers Domain. :)

Yes, it's not everything, but it's a start.
Not sure why you're being down-voted. US weather models are free. EU models are not.
Depends on which model. Only really the ECMWF weather model is not fully free. The German, French, Dutch, ... models are all free (regional and global models). Of course, these global models are generally less accurate than ECMWF, still ECMWF has a lot of free data available too. US models are also freely available, and quite easy to work with (as opposed to some European ones).
