A repost of my findings follows:
Regarding Licensing of SQL Server 2000, the Standard Edition of SQL Server
2000 (Part Number 228-00782) at a M$ retail cost of $665.00 is available
only via the Open License Program which says you must by at least five
products -- but the M$ sales guys said even low cost training courseware
like the $15 how to use Access qualifies -- so for about $700 you can get a
single-user version of SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition. Otherwise, the
cost of the five-user Standard Edition is $1,489 retail ($1,379 from PC
Connection).
There also is a full featured Developer's Edition for $499 retail ($468.41
at PC Connection) that, of course, works fine locally for development
purposes, but can't be used for production/commercial purposes but has the
feature set of the Enterprise Edition as I understand.
This does not address the initial post regarding commercial usage -- which
is whole different bag of M$ worms per post by Bud...
