I would think that if you did make JED a shareware program that you would be in violation of the copyright law because you can't charge for anything related to LucasArts products.

By making JED, a third-party program that makes levels for the Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II game, you automatically agree to the license agreement contained on page 63 of the manual because the game is required to make it work.

If you made JED so that you didn't need the game to make it work then maybe you would not have any copyright infringement when you had the idea of making it a shareware program, but since this is not the case, you must make it a freeware program.

I'm not a lawyer and I'm not affiliated with LucasArts or LucasFilm in anyway, it's just my opinion.
