Pricing Model

Can any one provide me some details on the pricing of SQL server ?
I have seen a software maker selling Client-Server application with a SQL
Server as backend for only $300!.
Also, is there a small version of the SQL server that can be used as a db ?
TIA.
Well it depends on what you want to do...
By "small version" I take it that you mean a database that you never expect
to grow beyond 2 GB -> and have less than 10 users. If that is the case,
then MSDE might be your solution:

below. So is MSDE free ?
