Apple Computer, I think, publishes _Develop_ magazine.  Each issue of this
mag that I've seen comes with a CD that includes the latest version of just
about every international Mac OS you could imagine.  Including KanjiTalk.  I
don't have a clue what licensing restrictions there might be.

There are 4 issues per year, at $10.00 each in the US.

International subscriptions available through 815-734-4205.

(Disclaimer:  I do work at Apple, but I have no connection with _Develop_ and
am not recommending it other than as a user/reader).
