So I just re-read the EULA. I think I was mistaken about what the REDIST.TXT file is for. We got a new one last year that follows newer license templates but I think it was missed that the old and new ones described redistribution differently. The old one talked about redistribution in the context of the entire package. But the new one seems to have added the REDIST.TXT concept for defining which parts of the package are redistributable. I'll reach out to our legal department to see what our options are for adjusting the EULA or if we need to add a REDIST.TXT file to the package to clarify things. Regardless of the outcome, the entire package is intended to be redistributable.

Yes, it's redistributabe. The license is mostly boilerplate across products so has some sections that say "may" or "if included". There is no REDIST.TXT file because there are no third party libraries included with the driver.

That's great to hear — is it possible to get it into the documentation somehow?
Download for Windows
The redistributable installer for Microsoft ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server installs the client components, ...
But the "Download for Linux and macOS" section doesn't mention it, and neither do any of the FAQs as far as I can find.

FYI, the EULA has been updated.
2. DISTRIBUTABLE CODE. The software may contain code you are permitted to
distribute (i.e. make available for third parties) in applications you develop,
as described in this Section.
a) Distribution Rights. The code and test files described below are
distributable if included with the software.
i. REDIST.TXT Files. You may copy and distribute the object code form
of code listed on the REDIST list in the software, if any, or listed
at REDIST (https://aka.ms/odbc17eularedist);
The https://aka.ms/odbc17eularedist link currently says:
Distributable Code for the Microsoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server
The entire package may be redistributed.
