Sharing reports via public website
To share reports on an open website (i.e. no authentication required) would the following licensing be acceptable?
1. We have 10 Power BI Pro users to author, share and view reports via Service
2. Use publish to web option to embed reports in public websites (no additional cost)
3. Optionally upgrade to dedicated resources by assigning a workspace dedicated to public reports to an EM tier Premium license
So in other words we would have a combination of workspaces for public (open) reports only on EM licensing, and other workspaces used internally under Power BI Pro licensing.

You're actually overlicensed, you could do that with a single Free license.

So, you should be fine.
Hi Anonymous,
As supre told, if you want to use 'publish to web' feature to share report, you just need free license.(desktop publish to server(free), 'publish to web'(free))
BTW, there are some limitation on 'publish to web feature', I think you should take a look on it:
Limitations
Publish to web is supported for the vast majority of data sources and reports in the Power BI service, however, the following are not currently supported or available with Publish to web:
-
Reports using row level security.
-
Reports using Analysis Services Tablular hosted on premises.
-
Reports shared to you directly or through an organizational content pack.
-
Reports in a group in which you are not an edit member.
-
"R" Visuals are not currently supported in Publish to web reports.
