They are delivered with the package as separate packages. Technically speaking: the MacOSX .dmg that is downloaded is NOT a package, but the official MacOSX disk image format, like .iso or .nrg or whatever other formats exist. Like any CD distributed with many magazines containing lots and lots of software. That's not different. Did you write to all those magazines as well?
When installing AutoCP generators on MacOSX, they are still NOT inside the Hugin packages but installed elsewhere. The separate packes are in a separate Folder "on the CD" and come with a Readme when and where you can use them. Inside the packages you will find again the Readme. Referring to China or any other country is completely irrelevant. Software and "other stuff" is pirated everywhere, no matter whether it is Open source, free or commercial closed source via bittorrent's or else.
