I haven't explored the various options, but I was under the impression
that my ISP had paid ~$10,000 for their copy of SQL Server 2000. If you
want to get sneaky, just provide ColdFusion hosting, with SQL Server
databases thrown in for free. That's not much different than giving away
Internet Explorer with your purchase of windows, is it? Sure, you don't
pay (directly) for IE, but MS had to cover the development costs somehow.
