You would per core licensing, not Server + CAL licensing for the SQL Server.

I thought this would be obvious, since Server + CAL Licensing would make any public site unfeasible, and there are many large sites running on the windows stack.

But you also need CALs for the Windows Server your database sits on.

External connector lisence.

Also I read some Ms documentation that a windows server that runs the database for web workloads may acutally come under web workload. I can't remember that document however.

I don't remember exact number but external connector license is equal to a cost of hundreds if not thousands of CALs.

If you come across that document, I'd be grateful for a URL.
