Avoid and shun, the implication usually being that you will not do something while an alternative exists. Well, the alternatives exist. But the other aspect of a few of the listed authors is whether the non-DRM publications are backlist items, or author experiments, or promotions, for which it remains unclear what they concluded about DRM. The existence of DRM publications doesn't prove that they love it, but the existence of non-DRM does not prove they eschew it.
