Licensing for DB mirroring

Hi,
i've read that if you use the second instance of SQL Server 2005 as DB
mirror only you don't need a second licence to run it. Is this correct?

Eventually, to implement a 2-node DB mirror, what I need is:

2 Windows Server 2003 Std
1 SQL Server 2005 Std

Is this correct?

Many thanks
