The latter.

No, but that's irrelevant.
"Multiplexing: Using Middleware, Transaction Servers, and Multitiered
Architecture
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 client access licenses (CALs) required to
access or use SQL Server software.*****
A CAL is required for each distinct device or user to the multiplexing
or pooling software or hardware front end. This remains true no matter
how many tiers of hardware or software exist between the server running
SQL Server and the client devices that ultimately use its data,
services, or functionality. An exception to this includes the manual
transfer of data from employee to employee. For example, if an employee
sends a Microsoft Excel version of a report to another employee, the
receiving employee does not require a CAL. An additional exception is
communication exclusively between the servers running SQL Server."
