Put another way: if a book has generic KFX encryption/DRM, you can use it on any Kindle device, yours or someone else's, without restriction. So practically speaking, it is "DRM-free" within the Amazon eco-system. But if you want to edit it or convert it to another format (so you can take out of the Amazon eco-system), then it is most definitely not DRM-free.
