Because nonUS is and should be distributable within the US.
If people in France can't use crypto, then you sell then the Binary-1 CD.
People in the US can use crypto, so they buy the Binary-nonUS CD.
People (almost) everywhere else can use crypto, so they buy the Binary-nonUS
CD too (but not from the US).
If CSS is added to nonUS, then nonUS would not be available to anyone in
the US.
I don't think the US users would be very happy with that situation.
