You can always distribute it without SQL server, but if you app needs a database you will then have to point it to a database on the network.
I guess I don't get your question, if you want a cheaper way to distribute your app you an use MSDE instead, it's like mini-MS sql server. It has all the same features, just a user limit and I believe built in slow downs. Though the main point is you can distribute it with your app (has to be with an app) without additional cost. Plus if the client wants to move to MS SQL server then there is no code changes and the move is painless.
