PSPP is not multi-user in the sense that several users could use the same 
instance of PSPP at once, but I don't think that is what you are asking.

You are free to install as many copies of PSPP on as many computers as you
want. PSPP's licence says this:

  All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of copyright on
  the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated conditions are met.

  [In otherwords, the licence does not "expire" like that of SPSS. The only 
   circumstances in which your license will be revoked is if you deliberately
   violate it.]

  You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey, without 
  conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in force.

  [here, "without conditions" includes making and running as many copies as you 
   like]
