Can I still redistribute MSDE after SQL Express is out?

I wonder if I can still redistribute MSDE after SQL Express is released. I
read in this page http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/faq/default.aspx that
SQL Server Express is the replacement of MSDE. So, I wonder if the
redistributable license for MSDE is still valid after SQL Server Express is
out..?
Thanks,
Don't see why not, as you can still distribute MSDE 1.0 apps even though
MSDE 2000 is its "replacement"...

the support lifecycles of these things will overlap by at least 2 years,
according to the stated MS support lifecycle policy.
