That would be true if there were only one copy of the tool at a time. You would both be sharing it with each other. In the sense that sharing is used in this case though, it's similar to using the word distributing. The "sharer" is basically the one that gives you a copy of the tool.
Think of the terminology that is used in "file sharing". It's the uploader aka sharer that is sued for copyright infringement.
