### How do I get a apache.org email account to get the IDEA License?

The Apache Software Foundation is an organization, and not a free web host, like SourceForge or GoogleCode. An ASF account is earned by making sustained and welcome contributions to a project. For more, see

The reason JetBrains (among others) give committers licenses is because we have earned them by helping to create open source products, many of which JetBrains uses internally.
