It might have to do with Aerospace.
Grognok could be one of the resources offered to those indie devs.
I don't think they would trademark an internal build of a terrain editor.
Who cares if someone takes the name of something you use inside the studio that no one would ever see?
Grognok?
Grognok is the name of the editor that you're talking about in the OP. It is assumed to be an internal Bungie-developed tool (or tools) to aid in the development of their future projects. It could just be the 'map editor,' or it could be an entire toolset which spans across different aspects of development.
The public may well see Grognok in the future. I wouldn't be surprised if Grognok either allows some form of player content creation as you've speculated in the OP, or if Bungie decide to make Grognok commercially available (along with their own game engine and other internal tools if Grognok isn't an all-encompassing behemoth). I'm sure they've got the brains to make an engine and toolset to compete with the other big dogs in the industry.
