The article says that it wasn’t going to be supported due to system specs (tbh, I had assumed that they would be using some goddawful kernel based drm monstrosity), so it could just be that the programmer has finally received their copy of ‘Code optimisation for dummies’.

There seems to be a few publishers missing here …

• Baen books (https://www.baen.com/) have never applied DRM to their books.
• TOR (https://torpublishinggroup.com/) stopped DRM on their books about ten years ago.

Baen typically sells their wares directly but TOR are through the usual sellers but have no DRM. I’m not sure how this works in practise with Amazon’s new “you can’t get the files” policy, but they are probably in cleartext somewhere.
