Need SQL Server 2005, for SSRS 2005 to work ?

Can SQL Server 2005 Reporting Service be purchased seperately or need to buy
SQL Server 2005 license also.
In other way, SSRS 2005 database required to be on the SQL Server 2005 or it
can even be on SQL Server 2000 ?
Thanks,Licensing and running are two different things. With release, RS 2005 will
run with SQL Server 2000. However, you will need a 2005 license.
RS is not purchased separately.
