The linked PDF is ambiguous, "penalisation of the production and making available of tools ... for committing the offences".

If this requires mens rea, i.e. they prove that your intent was for committing an offense, it's not such a big deal.

If it does not, i.e. your software merely could possibly be used to commit an offense, it's a huge deal.
