Besides the (tiny) bit of information MS gives in its matrix of SQL licenses, are there any practical limitations (other than the 10 GB thing) of express when used in a commercial setting? I'm thinking of recommending to my boss that they consider using it for my department.
Chances are great that the company has its set-in-stone policies regarding SQL Server licenses and won't do it, but I'd be remiss not to at least try.
But before I do, I just want to make sure there are no major limitations--I'm specifically thinking of the functionality where my company's I.T. would, hopefully, "open up" access to it (by IP address if necessary) to our global user base. I don't know much about that aspect of it and was just wondering if anyone had any particular insights thereto.
