The reasoning behind it is that in a normal environment you always will need a CAL to connect to a server. Now when you use a terminal services desktop or published app, Microsoft sees this as not only using a CAL but you are also using a licensed desktop of windows. In the old days they used to charge you a full NT license to access TS. Be thankful it's now a discounted TS license. Oh and it gets better with Citrix in the mix.
That makes sense if you running effectively running your own copy of Windows on the server. This is a much clearer explanation than the people at MS Partner support came up with. Thanks.
