1.1 david 20: Each person working on OpenBSD has their own aims and priorities,
21: but the goals of project as a whole are to:
22: <ul>
1.3 fn 23: <li>Provide the best development platform possible - with full source access
1.12 kstailey 24: for developers and users.
1.3 fn 25: <li>Work towards a machine independent source tree.
1.9 deraadt 26: <li>Pay attention to security problems and fix them.
1.13 deraadt 27: <li>Work towards greater integration of cryptographic software where
28: possible. This means IPsec, IPv6, key engines, and other forms
1.14 deraadt 29: of strong crypto. OpenBSD is from Canada and may export crypto
30: as
31: <a href=http://insight.mcmaster.ca/org/efc/pages/doc/crypto-export.html>
32: researched by a Canadian individual</a> and as
33: <a href=http://axion.physics.ubc.ca/ECL.html>
34: layed out in the Export Control list of Canada</a>.
1.12 kstailey 35: <li>Track and implement standards (POSIX, parts of X/Open, etc.)
1.3 fn 36: <li>Support as many different systems and hardware as feasible.
37: <li>Be as politics free as possible - solutions should be decided on the
38: basis of technical merit.
39: <li>Provide a good cross compile/development platform.
40: <li>Integrate good code from any source with acceptable copyright
1.16 ! deraadt 41: (Berkeley style preferred, GPL acceptable, NDA not). We want to
! 42: make available source code that anyone can use for ANY PURPOSE,
! 43: with no restrictions.
1.3 fn 44: <li>Import external packages with minimal modifications - making upgrading
45: much easier. Also to submit back to the developers any changes made.
