Answer Wiki:
Since App-V doesn't change the execution location or user for the applications (it still runs where it would run if installed locally), most existing license requirements are the same as local install.

SQL Server Licenses are handled by end user or end device. It doesn’t matter how many middleware pieces there are between the user and the SQL Server each end user or end device has to be licensed.
