Distribution licensing

Hi
If I write app with a sql server as backend, what are the licensing
requirements for distribution of the app sql server wise i.e. does the
client need to buy their on sql server ort can I distribute parts of it as
part of my app? I need to use Merge Replication so I doubt I can distribute
the app with sql server express.
Thanks
Regards
If you use SQL Server Express or MSDE you do not need to have licenses on
the subscribers, but you will need to license the publisher for every
connection made to it. So if you have 300 subscribers you will need 300
Calls.
