Probably only a rumor. Interestingly the TOR deal failed because a Holtzbrinck manager (TOR is owned by Macmillan and Macmillan is owned by Holtzbrinck) did not want the price to be less than 75 percent of the hardcover price. No problem with the missing DRM.
Toni Weisskopf (Jim Baen died last year) is now working on getting other SF publishers aboard. Maybe later he will try TOR again (TOR is the biggest SF publisher).
