Yes this was also news to me and it took a few round trips of emails to clarify. I had not actually seen a "Mahout" license but was listed as the point of contact. I was left with the impression I was just supposed to share my own license, and then Dmitry found a copy of the 'real' project shared license. Hmm! well, one way or the other we can get a license to a committer that wants one without involving JetBrains. That was the gist of it... but they still have a special form for Apache committers on their web site, so... hmm.
