Also, it's incorporated into the new version of ADE (which all the ePub readers use, including the Nook), and future versions of said other readers may possibly include B&N-DRM support as standard.

Hope this helps.
It's not that readers have licensed B&N's DRM, but B&N was the first to update to the newest version of Adobe's DRM. As readers update their software, they should all be able to use B&N's DRM... though some eBook readers have been very slow to update to the new DRM software.
