A proprietary format isn't in itself DRM.
proprietary technology is the term used here. I think the author doesn't quite understand that AZW is not really proprietary technology but the same old with a new lock and key. if it wasn't for the DRM, AZW would be Mobipocket plain and simple. So really, it's not proprietary technology except for the DRM.
