Possible? Sure, anything is...
Feasible? Unlikely

> What about the license?

I couldn't even bother going through the steps to get to the source code...It's
just too damn hard[1]. So...no idea about license but there would likely be a
few glitches

As Dridi mentioned, this is based on IntelliJ IDEA (or however it's
capitalized). It uses some custom build scripts to build, internally uses gradle
to actually build those android projects...It's a mess on top of mess. Yes,
people could package it. But it would take some serious effort and is definitely
not a one-man-job. Not to mention maintaining it afterwards.

We have enough packaged and unmaintained software in Java world as it is...

As for rpmfusion: rpmfusion has *identical* guidelines to Fedora. Only
difference is that they let in patented stuff (more or less). You can't package
something with unclear licensing or redistribution problems in rpmfusion either.

Yeah, I don't think you like my answer but...
