Geo-restrictions tend to be contractual - does the publisher have the right to offer the ebook elsewhere than the US? What rights the publisher has are determined by the contract negotiated when the book is acquired. Tor may not have the right to offer it elsewhere.

I believe Baen routinely buys world ebook rights for titles they publish, but that may not be true for third party books sold through Webscriptions.
