Simple Apps for updating Sharepoint Lists, or searching lists so on. User OR App Licenses?

Hello, 

I am looking for a clarification on the licensing wording from the power apps pages. 
According to the wording on the page, the meaning could be misinterpreted.

This picture refers to "Run one app or portal per user" 
However, it does not explain if you need one license per user, or per app. 
The reason this is not clear is most licenses are per user, which means that this is required for every user that would access the app.
I struggle with the wording there. 
Does this mean if I wanted a simple app that updates a list in SharePoint, every user to access this app (Where they can access the list already and update it there) would need a license to update the list via the app? 

 

To the same point this example with the same understanding above about licenses: An app that is a frontend for SharePoint pages that should not have any "premium connectors", but accesses many SharePoint based parts like lists, or files.

I have the same question (0)
