Is that so? I'd heard other authors complain that they didn't want to distribute through Amazon because they'd been told they would be forced to use DRM.

It is a new "feature" that became available in the last couple of weeks (there was no announcement that I know of, but it's a new button that authors are talking about) So you are correct--in the old system, anyone uploading was automatically DRM. Now you can opt either way.
I'm not quite clear on books that are already published. Some authors are finding that they can "republish" with DRM or without, but the location of the option is not...always easy to find.
