Relevant sentence is:
Aus lizenzrechtlichen Gründen darf die Software nicht online angeboten werden. Die aktuelle Version liegt der c't 14/2015 bei.

Because of licensing issues the software must not be offered online.
You would have to purchase each year the specific journal in which the DVD is included, this year issue 14. Single issues can be ordered. Pretty certain you would have no problem with running the software.
If you have bought the printed issue, licenses are covered for certain.

It seems to be allowed to give USB sticks to relatives and close friends, but sending such a tool via snail mail might compromize it on the border - and I do not know if there might be other licensing parts forbidding sending it via mail.

I did not check the options of print plus electronic version, getting my printed copy for a looooong time and reading their news on tablet with their app - which you can do on your pc as well. It should be possible for you to clip the text and paste into google translate - never tried for the longer articles. If postage is not to high, try out , or fire off a query asking about english translation, postage cost, if there is electronic only version and how license/download is handled in that case and so on. There are enough people capable of english there as well. If sending single issues is not possible/prohibitive expensive to oversea, ask about special issues ("Sonderhefte"), where most articles touching a topic are bundled: Typical are Security, Programming, Networks, Windows (Repair) and Web for instance probably touching your sphere of interest. Of those an electronic version exists for you to try out: dunno about DEsinfect available on this avenue .

No problems from my side if you snip out our text to attach ;-)

They may be able to remove it without wiping your computer, but be aware that some commercial antivirus removal services will wipe your computer and restore it to its original factory condition, deleting all your files and programs. Without a complete wipe you can never be 100% sure the infection is gone (and sometimes not even then - see below)
