I'd like to know why Amazon did this though, as your reasoning doesn't mean that they couldn't put a limit on a DRM-free Mobipocket book. No way I can think of they could enforce it, but I could see them doing it.
(Basically, if this is in response to author requests, then they're providing the lip service that they *are* publishing their books DRM-free. But if it's in response to market pressure driving them to offer DRM-free books, which I hope, then I'd think they'd want a more explicit indicator. But maybe this is some sort of trial to see whether or not making them DRM-free affects sales.)
