Isn't CEC proprietary and effectively some form of DRM?

I believe you're thinking HDCP.

CEC is actually implemented in Linux Kernel and you can use it (on supported hardware) with cec-client. So I'm not sure about being legally proprietary, but it's part of the HDMI standard since 1.0 (thus, if you support it, you support CEC too) and it's not at all a DRM.
