As far as I can tell they weren't even released offically. I didn't see
any source RPMs, just the binaries, and all the related documentation is
in Japanese.

That's actually the biggest problem with other groups trying to re-use the
work they did. A large part of Common Criteria compliance involves not
just the code but the procedures, and all of those are also in Japanese.
The modified software by itself doesn't get you there, you have to use it
in just the right way to follow the certified procedure.
