Actually, I don't think the statement on SQL licenses is correct unless CRM
ships with a SQL CAL or the SQL server is currently licensed in per processor
mode.
If you refer to SQL licensing, it doesn't matter if an application is web
based, since it looks like this falls under the multiplexing definition of
the SQL Server licensing white paper:
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/howtobuy/sqlserverlicensing.mspx, "Sometimes
organizations develop network scenarios that use various forms of hardware
and/or software that reduce the number of devices or users that directly
access or use the software on a particular server, often called multiplexing
or pooling hardware or software. Use of such multiplexing or pooling hardware
and/or software does not reduce the number of CALs required to access or use
SQL Server software. A CAL is required for each distinct device or user that
is connected to the multiplexing or pooling software or hardware front end. "
