Client Licenses?  
	
Yes. Terminal services (on 2003) can be licensed either per seat or per
user. The per seat license is a per device license so every device that
connects takes a license (doesn't matter whether it is linux or Mac or
whatever). 

Usually it is more cost effective to go per device on the licensing
because most people have more users than they have devices -- so 10
different users sharing the same PC only consume one terminal service
CAL in per seat licensing; whereas they would consume 10 licenses in the
per user model.

Here in the US a Terminal Services CAL runs about $80.00
