PIA Android client seems to be developed from a fork of OpenVPN Client for Android (ics-openvpn) [1] which is gpl-licensed. The About screen contains a link to the source code hosted on an S3 bucket [2] but it doesn't seem to be publicly accessible.
Interestingly, despite being gpl-licensed, ics-openvpn seem to be commonly forked by commercial vpn companies to develop their own closed-sourced Android vpn client. The author is aware of this and post a faq [3] out of frustration.
