Now, perhaps I am being too pedantic but honestly... did the founders of SPI intend that we were only to be a glorified PayPal?
The founders are myself and Tim Sailer. Our specific goal at the time was to protect Debian developers from personal liability by giving them a corporate shield. This purpose was not achieved, but IMO is more important today than it was in 1998. Ownership of a few Debian properties was also a goal.

Being PayPal for Open Source projects in general came later.
