    Not sure it really exists, but the license makes mention of it.

    Uh, the difference between the "i" version and the "US" version is
about half a dozen lines of code and the addition of the MPILIB library.
By taking the "i" version and "making it a us version", all you're doing
is backing out the changes.

    No, a binary of the "i" version modified to work with RSAREF (and
with a few other changes backed out) *IS* the original version.  If
there's a problem, it's with the "i" version itself, which is a
derivative work.
