This reminds me of ~10 years ago, when downloading Linux distros, they came in “US” and “non-US” flavours. I vaguely remember this having to do with “exporting” crypto from the US. I guess something has changed since I no longer see this, but I would love if someone could shed some light on that piece of Internet history.
