I don't think so. It appears Epyx are solely responsible for it. They have slapped this Herndon HLS type of copy protection on California Games (which they devised) and on Winter Games too (cf. corresponding WHDLoad entries).
Probably, Infogrames didn't bother to protect Bivouac, nor Chamonix Challenge at all, I guess we'll never know for sure. The way I see it, each title from this Quintet compilation is 1:1 replica of the retail game, just squeezed to fit on a single floppy disk.
