I don't think, any provider of ePUB would be able to prevent of that. ePUB claims, being kind of open standard. If one sells them, he most likely has to stick to that policy. But of course, canceling their own proprietary file format, might be a step towards a single standard for all the eReaders out there (although I'm not quite convinced about ADE. Don't like the registration process for example. If you de-activate one of your readers, for example because you've sold it, you don't get another license added back. I've run out of licenses quite a few times. You manually have to request another one, although you actually only have 3 licenses in parallel and the rest are "dead ones"...)

I currently belong to three different online Overdrive-based libraries. They all allow users to select between 7 and 21 days (in increments of 7 days), rather than the default 21 days, too.
