All media that DRM can be applied on can be discussed here, for example books, movies, music or games.

Digital rights management (DRM) is the management of legal access to digital content. Various tools or technological protection measures, such as access control technologies, can restrict the use of proprietary hardware and copyrighted works. DRM technologies govern the use, modification and distribution of copyrighted works (e.g. software, multimedia content) and of systems that enforce these policies within devices. DRM technologies include licensing agreements and encryption.

I think the information is relevant here since, in the chance it has DRM on Steam, given the source code is now available, a DRM-free version should be possible to compile.

Oh wow, blast from the past. I was annoyed when the game was abandoned because it had so much potential. I played alternatives instead like Gnomoria. But yeah, that'd be cool if this game can continue development in some way.
