+ <em>
+ Those of us who work on OpenBSD are often asked why we do what we do.
+ This song's lyrics expresses the core motivations and goals which have
+ remained unchanged over the years - secure, free, reliable software,
+ that can be shared with anyone.  Many other projects purport to share
+ these same goals, and love to wrap themselves in a banner of "Open
+ Source" and "Free Software".  Given how many projects there are one
+ would think it might be easy to stick to those goals, but it doesn't
+ seem to work out that way.  A variety of desires drag many projects
+ away from the ideals very quickly.
+ <p>
+ Much of any operating system's useability depends on device support,
+ and there are some very tempting alternative ways to support devices,
+ available to those who will surrender their moral code.  A project
+ could compromise by entering into NDA agreements with vendors, or
+ including binary objects in the operating system for which no source
+ code exists, or tying their users down with contract terms hidden
+ inside copyright notices.  All of these choices surrender some subset
+ of the ideals, and we simply will not do this.  Sure, we care about
+ getting devices working, but not at the expense of our original goals.
+ <p>
+ Of course since "free to share with anyone" is part of our goals,
+ we've been at the forefront of many licensing and NDA issues,
+ resulting in a good number of successes.  This success had let to much
+ recognition for the advancement of Free Software causes, but has also
+ led to other issues.
+ <p>
+ We fully admit that some BSD licensed software has been taken and used
+ by many commercial entities, but contributions come back more often
+ than people seem to know, and when they do, they're always still
+ properly attributed to the original authors, and given back in the
+ same spirit that they were given in the first place.
+ <p>
+ That's the best we can expect from companies.  After all, we make our
+ stuff so free so that everyone can benefit -- it remains a core goal;
+ we really have not strayed at all in 10 years.  But we can expect more
+ from projects who talk about sharing -- such as the various Linux
+ projects.
+ <p>
+ Now rather than seeing us as friends who can cooperatively improve all
+ codebases, we are seen as foes who oppose the GPL.  The participants
+ of "the race" are being manipulated by the FSF and their legal arm, the
+ SFLC, for the FSF's aims, rather than the goal of getting good source
+ into Linux (and all other code bases).  We don't want this to come off
+ as some conspiracy theory, but we simply urge those developers caution
+ -- they should ensure that the path they are being shown by those who
+ have positioned themselves as leaders is still true.  Run for yourself,
+ not for their agenda.
+ <p>
+ The Race is there to be run, for ourselves, not for others.  We do
+ what we do to run our own race, and finish it the best we can.  We
+ don't rush off at every distraction, or worry how this will affect our
+ image.  We are here to have fun doing right.

+ The starting line is nervous<br>
+ we burst upon the course<br>
+ Electric is our passion<br>
+ An open hearted force<br>
+ <br>
+ The water's full of dangers<br>
+ That interrupt the flow<br>
+ And soon the spirit splinters<br>
+ as temptation takes it's toll<br>
+ <br>
+ *Give and get back some<br>
+ Sharing it all<br>
+ Path we know best<br>
+ we're having a ball<br>
+ Opulent mission<br>
+ Lost in our passion<br>
+ You can still choose<br>
+ If you don't swim to win<br>
+ you'll never lose*<br>
+ <br>
+ One Zero Zero Zero Zero One<br>
+ <br>
+ The window is a wall by now<br>
+ A sieve of sickened holes<br>
+ The water chicken stealing maps<br>
+ Mistaking us for foes<br>
+ <br>
+ The sun a son of Icarus<br>
+ Flies too close to itself<br>
+ Forbidden fruit is blinded<br>
+ by the toys upon the shelf<br>
+ <br>
+ *CHORUS*<br>
+ <br>
+ One Zero One Zero One Zero One<br>
+ <br>
+ Slow and steady wins they say<br>
+ but this is not a race<br>
+ It's not about who takes a prize<br>
+ for first or second place<br>
+ <br>
+ Imaginary rings of brass<br>
+ Were traded for real goals<br>
+ The vision and the mission lost<br>
+ For those with corporate souls<br>
+ <br>
+ *Give and get back some<br>
+ Sharing it all<br>
+ Path we know best<br>
+ we're having a ball<br>
+ Give and get zeros<br>
+ Give and get ones<br>
+ Given to you but<br>
+ Not you to us<br>
+ Opulent mission<br>
+ Lost in our passion<br>
+ You can still choose<br>
+ If you don't swim to win<br>
