Make sure that you select the check box that grants the Apache License for the attachment. A Stanbol developer will that check/test your engine(s).

If a single license is shared - as default - between all Stanbol instances I think one needs to take care that the Engine can somehow communicate (with other means than an exception) that the limit of daily requests are reached.
