And he was mighty sure
The only change that was required
Was a three-line diff, a three-line diff.

Bought with my Sun workstation,
Hacked on it 'til my fingers bled.

Had a source tree with lots of history.

So we carried on with a fresh source tree,
Spent all of our hours coding,
Making changes in our private history,
Repeating the error of the past, yeah.

The source tree just got too big,
Too many diffs, too unreliable,
Too few people had any access;
Got to open it up now and forever

Reading ancient tarballs with despair
I wonder what they were thinking.

In the same open access way.

In Open Source philosophy, distinctions between progress or backwards-compatibility, along with other dichotomous API judgments, are vendor choice, not user; so, the duality of profit and control is an indivisible whole. In the ethics of OpenBSD on the other hand, most notably in the philosophy of Theo de Raadt (c. 21st century AD), a moral dimension is attached to the idea of stagnation and advancement. - -

Source Wars
Episode IV
Trial of the BSD Knights
- -

Not so very long ago
and not so far away
AT&T made system code
and gave some bits away
-
+

Some Berkeley geeks rebuilt it
better, faster, more diverse
This open thing was wonderful
for everyone on Earth
-
+

And then the roaring 90's came
The Empire changed its mind
And good old greed was back again
The geeks were in a legal bind
-
+

The Empire's Unix Lab
sued BSDi from above
The code is free but
only we can sell it bub!
-
+

The University came calling
in full protective mode
and proved the source in Net/2
didn't use the Empire's code
-
+

Then Bostic brought the Empire's books
n' slammed them dandys down
And showed the giant chunks
of BSD code all around
-
+

They didn't even give an ounce
of credit front to back
This broke the license USL
was using to attack
-
+

The case was thrown out by the judge
and "settled" out of court
And UCB was big enough
to take it like a sport
-
+

And to this day the geekfolk say
Now did we win or lose?
They shoulda made 'em reprint
every book with proper dues
-
+

And take out ads in major rags
apologetically
And maybe now it wouldn't be
the same monopoly
-
+

The Empire might have tumbled
down if everybody saw
How greed became so big
they couldn't see that glaring flaw
-
+

But only one community
the one that makes it tick
Is there to fight for everyone
exposing hypocrites
-
+

And OpenBSD is here
to tell the story right
Once again the fight is fought
and kept in shining light
-
+

And may the source be with you
May the Empire fall apart
Ya like that's gonna happen!
But we gotta keep heart!

OpenBSD emphasizes security. It also emphasizes openness. All the code is there for all to see. Blobs are vendor-compiled binary drivers without any source code. Hardware makers like them because they obscure the details of how to make their hardware work. They hide bugs and workarounds for bugs. Newer versions of blobs can weaken support -for older hardware and motivate people to buy new hardware.

This release, like every OpenBSD release, contains OpenBSD and its source code. It runs on a wide variety of hardware. It contains many new features and improvements. OpenBSD does attempt to convince vendors to release documentation, and often reverse-engineers around the need for blobs. OpenBSD remains blob-free. Anyone can look at it, assess it, improve it. If it breaks, it can be fixed. - -
