The commercial and supported XenExpress, XenServer and XenEnterprise
products from XenSource has a license restricting the number of guests
and the size of memory. 

The open source version of Xen is limited only be memory size
limitations (if you have REALLY small guests, and using x86_32 version
of Xen, there is a limit in the size of the XEN heap which gets you an
"out of memory" at roughly 100 guests, but that can be modified if this
is really limitng your usage - although it does require a Xen hypervisor
recompile). 

The tar-balls that you've linked to above is the open-source version, so
they are not restricted by any license restriction, just the "physical"
limits that the system you run them on (and the Xen heap-size).
