Will Calibre be able to take care of this?
It won't be an issue.

What Torrent Freak missed was that in this situation the digital watermarks will only be able to identify the ebook retailer that sold the file, not the person who bought it. And since this is not an encryption type of DRM but instead closer akin to metadata, there's no need to remove it.

The digital watermark DRM is being used to secure the supply chain. How exactly that is going to help, I do not know.

Most ebook retailers already use encryption DRM like Adobe, Kindle, iBooks, so I don't see how this effort will make it more secure.
