If you interpret this very strictly it could even imply that this editor couldn't be used to say write open source code that's distributed to the public. Basically all you could do with it is write code at home for your own use.

That’s why I ask actually.

Whats the generally accepted legal interpretation for “personal use”.

I wonder, does it even matter? Who would know what editor you used to write a piece of code?

Unless the author has the significant resources to audit any companies he's suspicious of, no one will know.

All my work in a corporate setting is personal use. It's me personally using the software to earn money.

Point is, "personal use" is such a nonsense term.

I assume that means "don't rely on this in any serious setting" and/or "don't try to sell it for profit".
