Because not everyone's so convinced that it doesn't apply to the Xine/OMS
plugins, because distributing it via non-US isn't a difficult thing
for us to do instead, and because once we've got it packaged in non-US,
we can easily move it into main proper if we feel it's appropriate.
In the meantime, there's no argument at all *not* to upload to non-US.
Cheers,
