You made me laugh. That is seriously dodgy, and it is unlikely you
could achieve it without breaking a lot of laws, particularly
trademarks and alike. Secondly, any DBA will recognise within a second
that the engine is not what you have advertised it as when it only
takes 10MB of hard disk space with all documentation. They would
question you about the missing query profiler and all the other
goodies that makes SQL Server so attractive.
