access to REST API (does it requires SF licence) ?

Hi, 

Does REST API work for Person X, if Person X do not have any SalesForce user?
Is there any case of REST API use, which do not consumes (requires) SalesForce licence?

Thank you in advance.
Kind regards.

REST API uses HTTP just like your browser.  You first need to authenticate before the request will get processed.  There has to be a user identity associated with the request to determine what sharing and access permissions the request will use.
