The difference is that no one will stop you from creating and distributing your own code editor even if you advertise that it's meant for malicious or illegal development. But don't expect the same privilege when you base your app off of someone else's API which you get to use for free by the way. Everyone knows when you use an API you're a house guest, paying no rent and you can be asked to leave at any time.
