Can someone kindly help me understand the "user" license in BSDI?

If a user has "full" access to the system, by that it means
a shell account, a 1-16 user license means 16 users.

If a user does not have "full" access to the system, by that
it means a user does not have shell account and uses the
BSDI system as a gateway for mail (via smtp), www, a 1-16
user license means 1-160 logical users? Therefore, a 1-16 user
license is sufficient for an organisation of 100 users using the
BSDI Internet server as a gateway for SMTP and WWW traffic.
