And, you will also find, the driver no longer works.
The drivers supplied with DataStage are licensed only for DataStage components (e.g. ODBC stage) to use. The licence does not cover use via BCI functions.
As the message says, you need to purchase a licence if you wish to continue to use the driver. You do not have to purchase this particular brand; there are several UNIX-based ODBC drivers now available.
