Terminal Server/Linux legal Issues?

Getting M$ Terminal Server to work from RH9 is a snap, but what are the licencing issues? A friend of mine says it's impossible to obtain a cal for a linux client.... anyone dealt with this? Anyone using it?

Given that redhat is paranoid enough to not include the MP3 codecs because of HINTS of licensing issues, I suspect that they think it's OK to access terminal server. Don't you buy a certain number of concurrent connections, and isn't this enforced on the server? I'm not a real Windows Terminal Server expert, but I thought that was how it worked.

Out of the box, TS will track that stuff, but you can turn it off, and it won't bother you anymore. In fact, I have it turned off now. Still, I want to remain legal, as much as possible anyway.
