I don't know the specific details about this particular software, but I can
describe the situation for the Macintosh.

If you want to distribute any of Apple's software with your products, you
will need to license them.  As far as I know, in these situations
(licensing system object code) Apple charges a nominal yearly fee, which
enitles you to distribute as many copies as you want with your product (ie,
there is no per-copy fee).  

I don't know all the licensing terms, but I don't think you have to be a
certified or registered developer.  

You should write to the software licensing department for more details:

	Software Licensing
	Apple Computer Inc.
	20525 Mariani  M/S 28-B
	Cupertino, CA 95014
