There are laws against chemical weapons but I don't think there are laws against producing any kind of software. It's more what you do with the software. Whereas with chemical weapons they are criminalized as such because it is clear they can be used only for one purpose.

What about the laws against helping or enabling criminal activities? There is no need to mention software specifically.

True, depends on the facts of the case.
