    From the FAQ:

    Can I redistribute SQL Express?

    SQL Server Express will be free to use
    and redistribute. The only
    requirement that we have is that you
    register to redistribute the product.
    The reason we require registration for
    redistribution is that we want to
    ensure that we can get critical
    security/product information to
    ISVs/partners if necessary.
