You could try Firebird and then the embedded version (see
http://firebird.sourceforge.net) and the Firebird.NET provider. Free
open source, and the embedded version simply requires you to have a dll
present in your bin folder and the database in a .fdb file.
I do wonder though why it can't cost a dime, or is this a
non-profit project you do for free too? (just wondering)
