Considering that Rellwood was rather specific that all borrowed books are still in a calibre library and previous discussions about pirated books, I'm pretty certain that Rellwood has deDRMmed KU books in their calibre library.

See this thread for some previous interactions: Split book records .

If you strip the DRM on one of those "expired/returned" loans, you will be able to open it.

I almost always return books before they expire, and all the books that I haven't explicitly deleted are still on the computer. Even when you delete them, they are probably around for some time until you empty the trash.
