It is the same as for PVM, which is in Debian main.

I seeked clarificatoin from the authors about the bit without fee,
because I was wondering if it meant only without fee or fee is not
necessary. Their answer was:

 (www.csm.ornl.gov/pvm) and it gives anyone the ability to redistribute 
 the software as they wish (with or without fee to them or anyone they 
 wish...). we continue to hold the copyright but the software is 
 completely open to the public.  free as in free from any strings is 
 our intention...

I'll let you know when it's done. Always happy about beta-testers ;).

  Description  : Cluster Command  Control tool suite

The Cluster Command Control (C3) tools are a suite of cluster tools
developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory that are useful for both
administration and application support. The suite includes tools for
cluster-wide command execution, file distribution and gathering, process
termination, remote shutdown and restart, and system image updates. A
short description of each tool follows:
.
cexec - general utility that enables the execution of any standard
command on all cluster nodes
.
cget - retrieves files or directories from all cluster nodes
.
ckill - terminates a user specified process on all cluster nodes
.
cpush - distribute files or directories to all cluster nodes
.
cpushimage - update the system image on all cluster nodes using an image
captured by the SystemImager tool
.
crm - remove files or directories from all cluster nodes
.
cshutdown - shutdown or restart all cluster nodes
.
The default method of execution for the tools is to run the command on
all cluster nodes concurrently. However, a serial version of cexec is
also provided that may be useful for deterministic execution and
debugging. To invoke the serial version of cexec, type cexecs instead of
cexec.
