Next version availability

Hello
I'd like to know if the next version of Reporting Services, scheduled for
release along with SQL Server 2005, will be available for previous versions
of SQL Server, specifically, SQL Server 2000?This is my understanding of how it will work. You have to have a license for
SQL Server 2005 in order to run RS 2005. But, the databases used by RS can
reside on a SQL Server 2000 database. If that is not the case I will be
screaming as loud as anyone else.

Along with your answer, I took the time and installed RS from SS2005 (latest
Beta) using SS2000 as the database, and it works - at least up to the point
of finishing the installation and initializing. I still have to wait for the
Beta 2 of VS2005 to fully test it.
