Just like the title says. Does each authenticated WCF client connection to a WCF server that you have developed need a windows CAL?

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/client-licensing.aspx

Microsoft's licensing on that page sure makes it sound like it, but I can't find anything out there that confirms, or even denies this.

Anyone know?
