How is the memory used greater than the SQL Server Express limitation?

Question

Microsoft tells me that SQL Server 2014 Express should have Maximum memory utilized (per instance of SQL Server Database Engine) of 1 GB.

Whenever I run this simple script to tell me the Physical Memory In Use I get 4 GB.

SELECT dopm.physical_memory_in_use_kb 
FROM sys.dm_os_process_memory AS dopm;

Here's the version info.

What gives? The server itself has 24 GB of RAM so I'd like SQL Server to use more if possible. I think I'd have start using a different edition of SQL...
