Actualy that doesn`t really apply, it doesn`t distribute any copyrighted Lec material. True you need their game to make it run. But theres nothing to stop from making a program that requires you have something else to use it..
It`s like a car and gasoline , you need the gas to use the car. The gas likely has some copyright trademark etc.. But you could always park the car and admire the paint. :-)
In this case if you the owner of the game have the cd`s which is the copyrighted information , then you could use the editor to make levels for your self. If you don`t have the cd`s then there is still nothing to stop you from filling up hardrive space with the program, it won`t be very useful though !!
