To me this does not appear to be a joke. It really appeared serious. Unless the person that told it wanted to see if I'd talk about that topic here.

Anyway recently after hearing things about the new EULA license it would be good to be reassured on that one about MSDE by someone authorized to do so.

By the way Alan did you read everything in the license for MSDE?
