Intranet CAL license

Hello,
I know that you need a SQL Server license for the reporting services server
installation but what about the report viewers/developers?... just a couple
of questions:
1) Do you need a SQL Server CAL license for every report developer using
visual studio .NET?
2) Do ALL report viewers need a CAL license? Or does this depend upon how
you deploy the reports?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanksif you are developing reports using vs.net then you will need a client license
if people are accessing the reports over the web then i'm not aware that
you need a licence (for a start it would be impossible to monitor)

internet users are access the reports it would be the same as internet users
accessing SQL Server. I believe MS has special per processor licensing for
internet use. For intranet, every client that would access the report server
needs to have a CAL. Either per client or you can do the per processor. At
least that is my understanding of how the licensing works. The important
thing is RS licensing and SQL Server licensing is the same thing.
