There is so much wrong with your comment.
1) It is not the software that is illegal, it is the selling of it as your quote clearly shows.
2) If the software has no other purpose than to commit crimes, then yes, the selling of that software should be illegal. It is selling a tool whose sole purpose is to facilitate criminal activity.
- tlrobinson 14y agoI don't trust the courts to determine which software "has no other purpose than to commit crimes". As I point out in another comment, penetration testers could argue that they'd legitimately need to use nearly any software used by hackers, including stuff like Metasploit. Someone else also points out it could potentially inhibit people disclosing vulnerabilities.
