From the article:

The letter also contains language that will apparently be included in future Hachette imprint contracts, language that would require authors to “ensure that any of his or her licensees of rights in territories not licensed under this agreement” will use DRM.

It mentions that at least one large agency is not sending anything to Hachette until this changes. I hope other agencies are paying attention, because it will really screw over authors if they don't realize that clause is in the contract, and license their works to separate markets without realizing that one of them demands they put drm on *all* their works, no matter who's managing that market.
