Does the term marketing encompass open source software? Microsoft thinks so, but is that legally confirmed?

It could be argued that DRM is an inconvenience or does the manufacturer determine that?

It's relative to the behavior of whoever is providing the software. So, if I make a page with an OBS download on it entitled "DOWNLOAD ALL MUSIC OFF YOUTUBE FOR FREE", then I'm violating DMCA 1201. But OBS itself isn't illegal - just my particular actions.
