"Cinemascope" is simply one studio's marketing name for movies they filmed in the 2.35:1 format (the ratio actually could range up to to 2.66:1).
On DVD, preserving the Cinemascope OAR does not automatically mean the DVD is anamorphic.

Other studios had to pay Fox for the lenses, and had to use the "CinemaScope" name until Panavision lenses came into use and we got "Filmed in Panavision". Indeed, within the industry, the CinemaScope name became so synonymous with anamorphic photography that it is used even today when referring to anamorphic photography despite the fact that Panavision has dominated the camera/lense market for more than 40 years. Today, the term is usually shortened to "scope" and used generically (read the back of a Warner DVD that is a 2.35:1 movie).
