MSSQL licensing is just all kinds of nuts. As far as I know, the official stance is that anyone accessing data from the DB (not just the DB itself) needs a CAL.

MSSQL licensing is just all kinds of nuts. As far as I know, the official stance is that anyone accessing data from the DB (not just the DB itself) needs a CAL. This means that with CAL licensing, every user of a web app needs one. I'd feel sorry for people that have to deal with this if it wasn't 90% self-inflicted pain.
