You're talking/thinking about Windows Servers where you need CALs.
With Linux Servers (Ubuntu/CentOS/Fedora and a bunch of others) there is unlimited client connections regardless of workstation/desktop OSes. (With the exception of Red Hat Enterprise or Novell SLES where you need to pay.)
If you have MS Windows clients, those are purchased separately. Linux clients are open source and thus free to download.
