Bogdan is right -- this is the license for LAM/MPI.

I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice, but my
understanding  
is that LAM/MPI is completely free software, even for
commercial use.   
There are terms about redistributing LAM/MPI (see the
license; you  
essentially have to cite the copyrights), but that's about
it.

That being said, have you looked at Open MPI?  LAM/MPI is
good, it is  
*wholly* in maintenance mode -- there is zero active
development  
occurring on it.  All effort is being put into Open MPI
(which has the  
same license).  I encourage you to look at http://www.open-mpi.org/.
