In a nutshell it's free open source media that you can do with as you wish. If you wish to use it for illegal or immoral purposes, then that's entirely your right to do so and your own free-will choice.

However we do not support anyone who wishes to do so, nor do we promote, or on this board allow to be promoted, such usage. Nate's blog post explains it well.

We offer the software, how you use it is entirely up to you. We don't tell you how to (or how not to) use it, that's entirely your right and choice (and by doing so you accept the responsibility and any consequences for doing so). What we do not like or condone though is people who by deceit or other means take that choice away from the end user, for example by misrepresenting the banned add-ons (wiki) as legal, above-board and legitimate, or by the "fully loaded" box sellers who bundle everything together and make it appear that the crapware is a part of Kodi itself rather than something that's bolted on.

Yes it's a fine distinction, but it's an important one. It comes down to educating the user into quite what they are getting in to, and making sure that they are getting into it of their own choice and free will rather than by any subterfuge or trickery.
