I read an article somewhere, fairly recently about the deal. What I am after, and cant find anywhere else is that it was mentioned the US has different parameters in the deal than the releases for the rest of the world.I find that strange, has anyone else read the article or know where to find it? A quick google search did not help me, and it may have been shared here, I hope, thanks!

Search the site. It's been talked about ad nauseum. And yes, it'll turn up a lot on the Org.
