First off you are right

THE EULA for the .net redistributable is located:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnnetdep/html/dotnetfxredisteula1_1.asp

I have no law experience, but from what I'm reading, it's basically saying
that you can't use the component if you don't have a valid OS license.
Which implies that if you have a valid OS license you can.

the cost being talked about could be for VS.Net or SQL Server..or other
things...Web Matrix and MSDE/Jet could be cheaper alternatives..
