I installed a SQL server 2008R2 developer edition on a server and giving RDP access to the developers to the box. Am i doing right here.
Please let me know what license issues i am breaking if any?
Thanks!

Each developer needs to have a licensed copy of the developer edition. Also, you do realize that if the developers have to RDp to the server, you most likely will only have two developers working at a time.
They really should have the client tools installed on their desktop/laptop systems and access the developent server from there.

That will work but it seems a lot easier to have the developers install SQL on their local. Then they can connect to the sql server from their own desktop. No need to remote in for sql purposes.

Just grant them access to the Dev instance on the server rather than RDP. Then install management tools on their desktops and allow them to use SSMS to connect to the Dev instance to do their development.
Alternatively, install a dev instance on each developers machine.

Or both. The development environment on the their machine would isolate their work from others and the development server could be used as an integration server during development.

That's how my workplace does it.
