Personally, whilst I understand the reasons why such a project may like to offer DRM, I find the whole concept of "open source drm" to be an abomination. Is there really such a thing? Can it truly be called open source if not all of the source code is made available?

What is so abominable about it?
A true open-source DRM is that much more easily broken.
And if some of the source code is kept hidden then it isn't really open-source at all, so we can just point and laugh at the latest proprietary DRM scheme that no one uses. It doesn't really matter what they call themselves in an attempt to hype things up.
