Gabiel,
I believe it's due to export restrictions.
Cisco cannot distribute strong encryption unilaterally. The easing of ITAR
restrictions last year (or maybe in '99) stated that you could export stong
encryption if you released the source, and notified the Dept. of Commerce of the
location. Since Cisco has not released their source, and probably never will,
they must verify that the end-user is eligible to recieve any version of IOS
which utilizes strong encryption. That measn that these images may only be
provided to users in the United States, and Canada.
