Is there a definition for a "development environment"? To me, "not to be used in a development environment" is different to "not to be used for development".
I'm not a lawyer so this is worth less than you paid for it, but I would have said a development environment is an system created for the purpose of development.
So Rocket (to pick a prominent z/OS open source company) can't use it for their development. As the owner of zigi, Lionel's system might count as a development environment if he uses it for developing zigi (sorry Lionel). But if a random person wanted to learn ISPF development by contributing to zigi I think that would be OK.
To me the difference would be whether you are developing a specific product that you own or promote (or intend to). Than I would say it is a development environment.
Likewise for test... you could e.g. install Zowe and try its functions, that does not make it a test environment.
