John, I believe this only applies to dotConnect assemblies, not to ODBC drivers.
Sometime ago I got a quote from Devart regarding deployment of ODBC driver on about 100 machine at a client's premises. The price was very competitive, much lower than the site license for the same product, but it was not free.

Do the end-users of my own product that uses the Devart assemblies need a license?

>If you have the Devart license, you do not need to pay any additional fee for deploying or distributing your software to end users.
