U = US (i.e. North America)
I = International

The difference is the length of the encryption key (i.e. how strong
encryption) it supports. US regulations (ITAR) prohibits the export of
crytographic technology that is stronger than some specified level and
requires that you have a license as an arms dealer if you want to export it.

The problem with this is that the 3 lines of perl code in my .sig is
classified as a munition and it is illegal for you to export it from the
US. If you want to reply to this message, and quote the .sig, you need to
register as an arms dealer because this list is distributed (based
actually) outside of the US.

Take a look at the Electronic Frontier Foundation

treaths to your civil rights.
