Under section 5 the user would be able to use the editor if the editor was legally created or obtained. At least this is what I would think.
May have to put this back on the drawing board. Basically what we are wanting to do with the license is "control" code created to work with the licensed software, control meaning that any software created to work with it must be released under the same license and source code made avaiable.

The hypothetical editor in question has nothing to do with Software. It does not use Software. Its author is unaware of the Software. However, Item 1 quoted below is so broad that, it seems to me, distributing said text editor would "signify acceptance of this license" because the editor may interact with Software in some environments. For example, a user may use the editor to edit Software.
Would distributing the editor signify acceptance of the license?
