You can gift racial techs to other players, but unless thay have that racial ability they cannot make use of it.
In the case of ancient/ruins tech, everybody else will be unable to use it at all. Either thay have it, and are maxed out on the tech, or they don't have it, and can't get any levels at all.
You've been exploiting the AI.
