I had always thought that the attraction of DRM was that it was non-proprietary, 
that anyone could manuafacture a radio or operate a radio station without paying 
some sort of hefty licensing fee to some corporation.

See http://www.drm.org/system/technicalaspect.php
"DRM is the world's only, non-proprietary digital radio system for short-wave, 
AM/medium-wave and long-wave. It has been endorsed by the ITU, IEC and ETSI."
