Not previous, but you are wrong in comparison (or example selection).

The Samba doesn't allow to use of proprietary software. Samba only uses
the SMB protocol (i can be wrong, but it is standardized), which Windows
uses (as primary) too. But you can connect two Samba between themselves,
then no Windows is needed.

Can you use free software for the DRM? If yes, then i am wrong and your
example is OK.
