Is SQL Server 2000 Free? I mean, can I use it for commercial use like SQL Server 2005 Express Edition?

---

No, it isn't. You need to purchase licenses if you want to develop and deploy using it.

There are no Express versions of SQL Server 2000 either.

There are Express editions of SQL Server 2005 and 2008/R2 - these are free.

No it is not free, I'm not sure you can use express edidtion for commercial use can you?

have you considered an open source database like MySQL?
