Do I have to install SQL server 2000

I have made a small database with SQL server 2000, and i have made
interface using C#.NET
and ADO.net ( this interface manage all queries -SELECT UPDATE INSERT
DELETE-), now i want to give this application ( database and interface
) to my friends,
so do they have to install SQL server 2000 ( 1 GB or more ) to use this
small database ( 1 MB )
or there is another solution which cost less space which i ask for
thanks for helpI'd test the app for SQL Server 2005 and have the friends use SQL Server express.
