Wow, these are very high. Move to Linux and you don't need to pay for a per user OS.

Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition is priced at $999 for five CALs, or $1,199 for 10 CALs. The Enterprise Edition will sell for $3,999 for 25 CALs. Microsoft would not provide pricing for the Datacenter Edition, as that version of Windows Server 2003 must be purchased with a new computer. The new Web Edition will sell for $399.
Additional CALs will be available for $199 in packs of five, or $799 for 20. Windows Server 2003 Terminal Server CALs will cost $749 for five and $2,669 for 20. Microsoft also requires what is called an external connector for people connecting from outside the network. The cost is $1,999 for Windows Server 2003, and $7,999 for the Terminal Server version.
