Norway, as a small nation which is heavily export-oriented and with a strong focus on international trade, has a tendency to exploit that image to avoid critisism for some rather outrageous trade deals. Peace talks, but money rules.
Among stuff Norwaydid over the years to make money, is:
Taken payment from our ally USA to install subsea listening devices along our coast to track Soviet nuclear submarines while selling stealth technology to the USSR so that they could build submarines that were too quiet to detect
Sold nuclear know-how and heavy water from our research reactors to Israel, which made them able to build the Dimona plant that allegedly produces nukes
Sold nuclear know-how to India, which in turn was used to produce nukes
Sold nuclear know-how in the form of very advanced minicomputers used in atomic research to Pakistan to be used in their atomic weapons programme
But that is just stuff we did for hard cash. Among other things we did is to enact legislation that allowed our medical institutions to sterilize people without their consent if they were considered “inferior”. Among those considered “inferior” were Roma and Sinti minorities, mentally sick and disabled, drug abusers, and people with severe congenital defects. The legislation was praised as an example by Adolf Hitler, and remained in effect until 1977. More than 2000 people was forcible sterilized against their will.
But there’s stuff that’s even worse than that. Probably the most horrific things we did was extensive abuse over several centuries against our own citizens, the Sami population.
Sami tribes, a finno-ugric people, has lived along ethnic Norwegians since time immemorial. They were originally pagan, but starting in the early 1700s a brutal campaign to convert them to Christianity started. Their cultural practices was more or less destroyed, their shamans executed, and their nomadic way of living. The Sami peoples were reduced to poor farmers and herders and were treated as second-class citizens. In the 1800’s the government tried to forcibly Norwegianize them by sending their children to boarding schools, and banning their language in public. They were banned from owning land and regarded as mentally inferior. The practise continued into the 1970s.

Most of the stuff I mentioned is from the past. But old habits die hard. Let's talk about who we sell our weapons to today, it'll make an interesting addendum to the answer.
We recently had a surplus of fast attack boats that we wanted to sell. They were sturdy boats, built for the rough seas in the North Atlantic. They were known as the Hauk (hawk) class Hauk-class patrol boat - Wikipedia
We had a lot of those, and around 2012 we still had a full squadron complete with a tender ship that we wanted to sell.
Who bought it? Some navy in Asia or South America? Not at all. We sold them to this guy:
Government Tompolo, a Nigerian warlord. First warlord in Africa with his own navy. (Source Norway sells warships, combat boats to ex-militant leader, Tompolo - Premium Times Nigeria
old habits die hard
First and foremost, the main resource Norway’s provided is heavy water. Now, building a reactor isn’t that hard, and it’s not exactly secret how to proceed if you want to do it. The hard thing is obtaining the stuff that you need to make it run. Such as enriched uranium, and an effective moderator such as heavy water.
I’m not saying that Norway made Israel’s or India’s or Pakistan’s nuclear weapons, or built their reactors. They did it themselves. But the task was easier when we decided to sell our much needed resource.
With regard to know-how, there’s also the Halden project. This is an international research project, mostly with European members. It has made research into a lot of areas of reactor operation since the 1950s. It has been repeatedly claimed that research from that project have benefited nations outside the project, but without any real proof. And besides, when you allow the company who made the initial control system at CERN to sell their hardware to Pakistan you contribute with knowledge.
