I do not think you can separate oSql.exe from the full MSDE package from a
legal point of view..
but perhaps you've better ask Microsoft representatives...

again, I'm not sure you can "cannibalize" osql.exe that way... of course,
having a full SQL Server licence, you can install the Client Tools, that
include quiet all tools... but this way I'm little skeptic... but I'm not a
lawyer
