I prefer to my development work in a virtual machine so my computer don't get messy and slow.
However, I always deal with the issue of licencing, even if the windows version on my host and on my VM is the same.
Is there a way to pay less than buying a full licence for every VM I have?

Are you talking about OS licensing or tools licensing? If this is Windows OS licensing, then MSDN is an easy way to have lots of spare licenses.

How many developers can work together with MonoTouch Enterprise Licensing?
It's one seat per license, but they do have volume licensing aswell.

Only one developer can use the enterprise license at one time.
This license is assigned to your company though, instead of a specific developer, so if you hire somebody else, or the current developer leaves the team, another one can work on the project without having to purchase a new license.

I seem to recall hearing at some point (I believe it was MIX09) that Microsoft has a licensing model of some sort where a business can consume licenses for up to two years, free of charge, until they reach a point where they are stable position and can pay their licensing at the end of two years. However, I can't find information regarding it online.
I want to say that possibly stackoverflow used this licensing model to kick start their site. Is anyone familiar with this?
In addition to BizSpark (as per #paul) there are also WebSpark and, as of May 2010, the developer MAPS programmes.
Webspark information is here: http://www.microsoft.com/web/websitespark/default.aspx
Details of the Action Pack (MAPS) are currently here: https://partner.microsoft.com/global/40132997
I'm fairly certain that in all cases availablility varies by your location - but if you're producing stuff for/with/on Microsoft tools/platforms then they're all worth a look.
You're thinking of BizSpark:

There is also the Empower program if you're an existing business, not a startup.

What are my obigations if used by commercial software ?
Is it GPLish or closer to ASL 2 ?
IANAL, but the FSF has stated that the CDDL is incompatible with the GPL. In terms of linking, it seems to have some features of the LGPL (linking from code with a different licence is allowed).
I'd read the legal text very carefully and check with your company's lawyer. Any changes you make to the code itself will have to be CDDL'd as well.
I came to this page via a person asking about the dual licensing of Sun (now Oracle) software under both GPL and CDDL. What this means is that you are free to use the software under the terms of one license or the other, or (as what most people seem to be doing) carry on the dual licensing for downstream users.

If I have a windows xp computer with a single license (the one dell gave me), if I have 2-3 vm's setup (using vmware) for development purposes, do I have to have licenses for all of them?
Read Microsoft's EULA that came with the OEM license you have.
It most likely says you can only have one copy running at a time. So, yes: you need multiple licenses.
If you're doing development at a company or school, you may be able to use a volume/site license key, however.
