The other publishers had to publish through the same track the big publishers used. Since those publishers insisted on DRM, it was auto-applied on books using that track.
But they fixed it 2 years ago, so now Baen, O'Reilly, etc, can and do publish DRM free on Amazon.

Thanks for the correction. That's great! At least we know it's a publisher problem and not an Amazon, problem (for all the good that does
).
