Can you help me with my software licensing question?

This question keeps getting asked however I could never get a straight answer. So I'm asking it clearer:

If I have Windows 2008 R2 Web edition and I'm using Sharepoint Foundation Server on Sql Server 2008 R2 Express edition do I need any further licenses other than what I paid for Windows Server to allow unauthenticated users to view the sharepoint website?

  • SharePoint Foundation is free if you own the Windows Web edition server license. No SharePoint server or CAL licenses are required.
  • SQL Express does not require SQL server licenses or CAL's.
  • Web Edition requires no Windows CAL's if used for Internet users.
  • SharePoint+SQL Express+Windows Web must run on a single server to qualify.

According this page. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/licensing-web-server.aspx

I would call MS licencing and ask anyway if I were you. http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/contact-us.aspx
