Janne Heikkinen, head of product planning, mentioned DRM support for Maemo 6 in his keynote on Friday. Elena Reshetova, Security specialist had a lightning talk today about the two modes the security framework will enable in Maemo 6.

The examples of DRM based services provided were Ovi Store and Comes With Music.

The Maemo 6 security framework addresses other technical aspects apart from DRM. In short, Maemo users and developers willing to have full open access to their devices will continue to be able to do so just like now. As a consequence, DRM related services and other security control points will be removed from the system. If those users or developers want to return to the original DRM enabled configuration they will be able to do so. Their choice.
