The international license comes into play when a US resident wants to buy a book from Amazon UK. The US resident may not be able to do so because of license issues. A UK resident may not be able to buy a book from Amazon US because of license issues. But a UK resident traveling in the US can buy a book from Amazon UK while in the US.
If Amazon US can sell books to US residents traveling in Europe from Amazon US then BN can sell books to US residents traveling in Europe from BN. For some reason, BN has decided not to allow this.

You also have to remember Amazon already has international licensing agreements already in place in Eurpope and elsewhere. which I'm sure was written into the language of the agreements as to being able to be allowed to sell it's US contents as well and vice versa.
Barnes and noble does not.
