In the past DRM could be stripped from KU books.
You can still strip DRM from KU books depending on how you download them. Like stripping DRM from library loans, I avoid doing so since I do not "own" the book/license. I do add an empty book for a library loan in calibre to allow me to keep track of what books I have read.

For a Kindle owner, stripping DRM from library loans may be a necessity since outside of the USA, libraries do not support Amazon format loans. OTOH, one friend of mine and I have an ongoing disagreement since while she needs to strip DRM from library loans to allow copying them to her Oasis which I find iffy but necessary for her. OTOH, she keeps the ebook after the loan period which is, IMHO, qualifies as an illegal copy with the excuse that she might want to re-read it someday.
