    The company was originally established by Max Levchin, Peter Thiel, and Luke Nosek in December 1998 as Fieldlink. Later it was renamed Confinity,[9] a company which developed security software for hand-held devices.[10] When it had no success with that business model, it switched its focus to a digital wallet.[11] The first version of the PayPal electronic payments system was launched in 1999.[12]

    In March 2000, Confinity merged with X.com, an online financial services company founded in March 1999 by Elon Musk, Harris Fricker, Christopher Payne, and Ed Ho.

    Musk founded a company that merged with the company that invented PayPal.

    The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different sources

    So as I understand it, under the OSI definition of the word, anything distributed under a copyleft licence would not be open source.

    So all software with GNU GPL, for example.
