No – Access Services, like Forms Server and Excel Services, is exclusively part of the Enterprise CAL.

To add the service, you would have to install the full SharePoint Server 2010, and activate the enterprise features.

Does SharePoint Foundation 2010 have Access Services and if so how do I start the service running? If not, how do I add the service?

There are a variety of ways that you can licence SQL, for whatever purpose you’re looking for. You can licence SQL either on a processor basis, or on server + client access licence basis.

For the processor licence, it wouldn’t matter how many users were accessing the SQL server. The only requirement would be one licence per processor in the machine. This applies to virtual machines as well.

For the server + CAL licences, you would need a CAL per user accessing the SQL server regardless of how they are accessing the SQL instance.

For example, if you were working with Workgroup Edition, you could purchase the processor licence for ~$3,900, or you could purchase the server licence for ~$740, which includes 5 client access licences. For every user above and beyond the original five, you would need an additional license.
