According to the site: http://office.microsoft.com/en-ca/sharepoint-foundation-help/overview-track-project-work-using-sharepoint-project-tasks-lists-HA101793879.aspx

Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 provides project tasks lists to help you track the work required to complete a project. Project tasks lists do not require a separate project management application, such as Microsoft Project 2010 or Microsoft Project Server 2010, and can be really useful in helping to clearly communicate about work progress.

 

Which translates to, you don't need to be licensed for Microsoft Project 2010 to use the Project task list that comes with SharePoint 2010 (Foundation). The Microsoft Project license is however required if you are indeed using MS Project and/or are using the MS Project Server 2010 with SharePoint 2010.
