21: Every 6 months the OpenBSD project has the pleasure to release
22: software on an official CDROM set, with artwork and a matching song.
23: Ty Semaka (our artist) and Theo borrow and mutate some theme (from a
24: classical setting, a movie, or some genre) into the world of Puffy, to
25: describe some event or controversy the project went through, or a
26: stance that was taken, over the previous six months. Theo then gets
27: the pleasure (and responsibility) to write a commentary describing it
28: all.

91: We are just plain tired of being lectured to by a man
92: who is a lot like
93: <a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/04/08/campbell_grounded/">Naomi Campbell</a>.
94: <br>
95: <br>
96: In 1998 when a United Airlines plane was waiting in the queue at
1.102 ! deraadt 97: Washington Dulles International Airport for take-off to New Orleans
! 98: (where a Usenix conference was taking place), one man stood up from
! 99: his seat, demanded that they stop waiting in the queue and be permitted
1.95 deraadt 100: to deplane. Even after orders from the crew and a pilot from
101: the cockpit he refused to sit down. The plane exited the queue
1.96 deraadt 102: and returned to the airport gangway. Security personnel ran onto
1.95 deraadt 103: the plane and removed this man, Richard Stallman, from the plane.
104: After Richard was removed from the plane, everyone else stayed
105: onboard and continued their journey to New Orleans. A few
106: OpenBSD developers were on that same plane, seated very closeby,
107: so we have an accurate story of the events.
108: <br>
109: <br>
110: This is the man who presumes that he should preach to us
111: about morality, freedom, and what is best for us. He believes
112: it is his God-given role to tell us what is best for us, when he
113: has shown that he takes actions which are not best for everyone.
114: He prefers actions which he thinks are best for him -- and him
115: alone -- and then lies to the public. Richard Stallman is no Spock.
116: <br>
117: <br>
118: We release our software in ways that are maximally free. We
119: remove all restrictions on use and distribution, but leave a
120: requirement to be known as the authors. We follow a pattern of
121: free source code distribution that started in the mid-1980's
122: in Berkeley, from before Richard Stallman had any powerful
123: influence which he could use so falsely.
124: <br>
125: <br>
126: We have a development sub-tree called "ports". Our "ports" tree
127: builds software that is 'found on the net' into packages that
128: OpenBSD users can use more easily. A scaffold of Makefiles and
129: scripts automatically fetch these pieces of software, apply
130: patches as required by OpenBSD, and then build them into nice
131: neat little tarballs. This is provided as a convenience for
1.97 okan 132: users. The ports tree is maintained by OpenBSD entirely separately
1.95 deraadt 133: from our main source tree. Some of the software which is fetched
134: and compiled is not as free as we would like, but what can we do.
135: All the other operating system projects make exactly the same
136: decision, and provide these same conveniences to their users.
137: <br>
138: <br>
139: Richard felt that this "ports tree" of ours made OpenBSD non-free.
140: He came to our mailing lists and lectured to us specifically, yet
141: he said nothing to the many other vendors who do the same; many of
142: them donate to the FSF and perhaps that has something to do with it.
143: Meanwhile, Richard has personally made sure that all the official
144: GNU software -- including Emacs -- compiles and runs on Windows.
145: <br>
146: <br>
147: That man is a false leader. He is a hypocrite. There may be some
148: people who listen to him. But we don't listen to people who do not
149: follow their own stupid rules.

249: Those of us who work on OpenBSD are often asked why we do what we do.
1.91 merdely 250: This song's lyrics express the core motivations and goals which have
1.90 deraadt 251: remained unchanged over the years - secure, free, reliable software,
252: that can be shared with anyone. Many other projects purport to share
253: these same goals, and love to wrap themselves in a banner of "Open
254: Source" and "Free Software". Given how many projects there are one
255: would think it might be easy to stick to those goals, but it doesn't
256: seem to work out that way. A variety of desires drag many projects
257: away from the ideals very quickly.
258: <p>
1.93 jmc 259: Much of any operating system's usability depends on device support,
1.91 merdely 260: and there are some very tempting alternative ways to support devices
1.90 deraadt 261: available to those who will surrender their moral code. A project
262: could compromise by entering into NDA agreements with vendors, or
263: including binary objects in the operating system for which no source
264: code exists, or tying their users down with contract terms hidden
265: inside copyright notices. All of these choices surrender some subset
266: of the ideals, and we simply will not do this. Sure, we care about
267: getting devices working, but not at the expense of our original goals.
268: <p>
269: Of course since "free to share with anyone" is part of our goals,
270: we've been at the forefront of many licensing and NDA issues,
1.91 merdely 271: resulting in a good number of successes. This success had led to much
1.90 deraadt 272: recognition for the advancement of Free Software causes, but has also
273: led to other issues.
274: <p>
275: We fully admit that some BSD licensed software has been taken and used
276: by many commercial entities, but contributions come back more often
277: than people seem to know, and when they do, they're always still
278: properly attributed to the original authors, and given back in the
279: same spirit that they were given in the first place.
280: <p>
281: That's the best we can expect from companies. After all, we make our
282: stuff so free so that everyone can benefit -- it remains a core goal;
283: we really have not strayed at all in 10 years. But we can expect more
284: from projects who talk about sharing -- such as the various Linux
285: projects.
286: <p>
287: Now rather than seeing us as friends who can cooperatively improve all
288: codebases, we are seen as foes who oppose the GPL. The participants
289: of "the race" are being manipulated by the FSF and their legal arm, the
290: SFLC, for the FSF's aims, rather than the goal of getting good source
291: into Linux (and all other code bases). We don't want this to come off
292: as some conspiracy theory, but we simply urge those developers caution
293: -- they should ensure that the path they are being shown by those who
294: have positioned themselves as leaders is still true. Run for yourself,
295: not for their agenda.
296: <p>
297: The Race is there to be run, for ourselves, not for others. We do
298: what we do to run our own race, and finish it the best we can. We
299: don't rush off at every distraction, or worry how this will affect our
300: image. We are here to have fun doing right.

403: As developers of a free operating system, one of our prime responsibilities
404: is device support. No matter how nice an operating system is, it remains
405: useless and unusable without solid support for a wide percentage of the
406: hardware that is available on the market. It is therefore rather unsurprising
407: that more than half of our efforts focus on various aspects relating to
408: device support.
409: <p>
1.85 mbalmer 410: Most parts of the operating system (from low kernel, through to libraries,
1.81 deraadt 411: all the way up to X, and then even to applications) use fairly obvious
412: interface layers, where the "communication protocols" or "argument passing"
413: mechanisms (ie. APIs) can be understood by any developer who takes the
414: time to read the free code. Device drivers pose an additional and significant
415: challenge though: because many vendors refuse to document the exact behavior
416: of their devices. The devices are black boxes. And often they are surprisingly
417: weird, or even buggy.
418: <p>
419: When vendor documentation does not exist, the development process can
420: become extremely hairy. Groups of developers have found themselves focused
421: for months at a time, figuring out the most simple steps, simply because
422: the hardware is a complete mystery. Access to documentation can ease
423: these difficulties rapidly. However, getting access to the chip documentation
424: from vendors is ... almost always a negotiation. If we had open access to
1.84 matthieu 425: documentation, anyone would be able to see how simple all these devices
1.81 deraadt 426: actually are, and device driver development would flourish (and not just in
427: OpenBSD, either).
428: <p>
429: When we proceed into negotiations with vendors, asking for documentation,
430: our position is often weak. One would assume that the modern market is fair,
431: and that selling chips would be the primary focus of these vendors. But
432: unfortunately a number of behemoth software vendors have spent the last 10 or
433: 20 years building

454: Here's an old story ...<br>
455: <br>
456: <br>
457: Puffy Baba and the 40 Vendors<br>
458: We all know the details<br>
459: Magic cave, magic words, some thieves,<br>
460: some serious loot,<br>
461: and lucky - Mister - Baba<br>
462: Who got a bad rap if you ask me<br>
463: The little guy who<br>
464: did the best with what he had<br>
465: <br>
466: <br>
467: Here are Mr. Baba's lessons<br>
468: Load one ass, take a few trips and spend<br>
469: in moderation<br>
470: Three things the average man can't - get - right<br>
471: <br>
472: <br>
473: If you know your brother is a greedy bastard<br>
474: never give him the password<br>
475: If he goes penguin on you,<br>
476: stop - being - his brother.<br>
477: When a cave is guarded by magic lawyers<br>
1.86 tom 478: A sea of blood will be its doormat<br>
1.81 deraadt 479: So do the best with what you have<br>
480: <br>
481: <br>
482: Beyond the lessons - you must know this<br>
483: that the Devil is as real as your address<br>
484: But unlike Vendors,<br>
485: he at least keeps the door open<br>
486: <br>
487: <br>
488: Vendors of water that should be free<br>
489: Look upon their words and despair<br>
490: Their badvertising made a thief of my brother<br>
491: then made him better off dead<br>
492: Now he hasn't got shit to do his best with<br>
493: <br>
494: <br>
495: Gratis. Free. Libre. Cuffo.<br>
496: The companies of thieves stole every good adjective<br>
497: and left us with open source (sores)<br>
498: sharing smaller and smaller bandages<br>
499: for each consecutive cut<br>
500: But with the salty water of labour<br>
501: parched desert becomes pregnant black soil<br>
502: <br>
503: <br>
504: It's not whether you're well off<br>
505: it's where you dig the well<br>
506: The best the little guy can do is what<br>
507: the little guy does right<br>

787: OpenBSD emphasizes security. It also emphasizes openness. All the code
788: is there for all to see. Blobs are vendor-compiled binary drivers
789: without any source code. Hardware makers like them because they
790: obscure the details of how to make their hardware work. They hide bugs
791: and workarounds for bugs. Newer versions of blobs can weaken support
792: for older hardware and motivate people to buy new hardware.<br>
793: <br>
794: <br>
795: Blobs are expedient. Many other open source operating systems
796: cheerfully incorporate them; in fact their users demand them.<br>
797: <br>
798: <br>
799: But when you need to trust the system, how do you check the blob for
800: quality? For adherence to standards? How do you know the blob contains
801: no malicious code? No incompetent code? Inspection is impossible; you
802: can only test the black box. And when it breaks, you have no idea why.<br>

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

971: For a multitude of (stupid) reasons, vendors often attempt to lock
972: out our participation with their customers by refusing to give our
973: programmers sufficient documentation so that we can properly support
974: their devices.
975: <p>
976: Take Adaptec for instance. Before the 3.7 release we disabled support
977: for the
1.70 steven 978: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=aac&sektion=4">aac(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 979: Adaptec RAID driver because negotiations with the Adaptec had failed.
980: They refused to give us documentation. Without documentation, support
981: for their controller had always been poor. The driver had bugs (which
982: affected some users more than others) which caused crashes, and of
983: course there was no RAID management support. Apparently most of these
1.59 jolan 984: bugs are because the Adaptec controllers have numerous buggy firmware
985: issues which require careful workarounds; without documentation we
986: cannot solve these issues.
1.58 deraadt 987: <p>
988: The driver was written by an OpenBSD developer, who cribbed parts
989: of it from a FreeBSD driver written by an ex-Adaptec employee. But no
990: public documentation exists, and Adaptec has dozens of cards with
991: different firmware issues. All of this adds up to a very desperate
992: development model -- it becomes very hard for the principle of
993: "quality" to show its head.
994: <p>
995: RAID devices have two main qualities that people buy them for:
996: <br>
997: <ul>
1.60 pvalchev 998: <li>Redundancy
1.58 deraadt 999: <li>Repair
1000: </ul>
1001: You want a RAID unit to provide you with redundancy, so that if some drives
1.60 pvalchev 1002: fail, your data is not lost. But once a drive has failed, you require your
1003: array to (automatically, most likely) perform the operations to repair
1.58 deraadt 1004: itself, so that it is functioning perfectly again.
1005: <p>
1006: Some vendors (or like the above Adaptec case, ex-employee) have
1007: sometimes given us some documentation so that we could write drivers,
1008: so that their devices could support Redundancy. But these vendors have
1009: never given us any documentation for performing Repairs.
1010: <p>
1011: Instead these vendors have tried to pass out non-free RAID management
1012: tools. These are typically gigantic Linux binaries, or some crazy thing, that
1.67 jolan 1013: is supposed to work through a bizarre interface in the device driver, which
1.58 deraadt 1014: we are apparently supposed to write code for without any documentation.
1015: <p>
1016: And since we refuse to accept our users being forced into depending on
1017: vendor binaries, we have reverse engineered the management interface for
1018: the AMI controllers.
1019: <p>
1020: There is no great "intellectual property" in this stuff, it is all
1021: rather simple primitives. This is all that we need to implement
1022: basic RAID management:
1023: <ul>
1024: <li>SCSI transactions on the back-side busses
1025: <li>Discovering which drives are in which volumes
1026: <li>Being able to silence the buzzer
1027: <li>Marking a new drive as a Hot-Spare
1028: </ul>
1029: <p>
1030: The AMI driver needed to support these small primitive operations.
1031: And once we had that, we rely on something else which we know: Almost
1032: all the RAID controllers would need the same primitives.
1033: <p>
1034: Thus armed, we were able to write a generic framework which would later
1035: work on other vendors' RAID cards, that is, once we get documentation
1036: or do some reverse engineering for their products.
1037: <p>
1.60 pvalchev 1038: But having been ignored for so long by these vendors, it is not clear when (if
1039: ever) we will get around to writing that support for Adaptec RAID
1.58 deraadt 1040: controllers now. And Adaptec has gone and bought ICP Vortex, which
1041: may mean we can never get documentation for the
1.70 steven 1042: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=gdt&sektion=4">gdt(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 1043: controllers.
1044: The "Open Source Friendly liar" IBM owns Mylex, and Mylex has told us we
1045: would not get documentation, either.
1046: 3Ware has lied to us and our users so many times they make politicians
1047: look saintly.
1048: <p>
1049: Until other vendors give us documentation, if you want reliable RAID
1050: in OpenBSD, please buy
1051: <a href="http://www.lsilogic.com/products/megaraid/index.html">LSI/AMI</a>

1150: For an operating system to get anywhere in "the market" it must have
1151: good device support.<br>
1152: <br>
1153: Ethernet was our first concern. Many vendors refused to supply
1154: programmers with programming documentation for these chipsets. Donald
1155: Becker (Linux) and Bill Paul (FreeBSD) changed the rules of the game
1156: here: They wrote drivers for the chipsets that they could get
1157: documentation for, and as they succeeded in writing more and more
1158: drivers, eventually closed vendors slowly opened up until most
1159: ethernet chipset documentation was available. Today, some vendors
1160: still resist releasing ethernet chipset documentation (ie. Broadcom,
1.62 brad 1161: Intel, Marvell/SysKonnect, NVIDIA) but the driver problem is mostly
1.46 henning 1162: solved in the ethernet market.<br>
1.44 deraadt 1163: <br>
1164: Similar problems have happened in the SCSI, IDE, and RAID markets.
1165: Again, the problem was solved by writing drivers for documented
1166: devices first. If the free software user communities use those drivers
1167: preferentially, it is a market loss for the secretive vendors.
1168: Another approach that has worked is to publish email addresses and
1169: phone numbers for the marketing department managers in these
1170: companies. These email campaigns have worked almost every time.<br>
1171: <br>
1172: The new frontier: 802.11 wireless chipsets.<br>
1173: <br>
1174: Over the last six months, this came to a head in the OpenBSD project.
1175: We asked our users to help us petition numerous vendors so that we
1176: could get chipset documentation or redistributable firmware. Certainly, we did
1.52 deraadt 1177: not succeed for some vendors. But we did influence some vendors, in
1.44 deraadt 1178: particular the Taiwanese (Ralink and Realtek), who have given us
1179: everything we need. We also reverse engineered the Atheros chipsets.<br>
1180: <br>
1181:
1182: Want to help us? Avoid
1183: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ipw">Intel Centrino</a>,
1184: Broadcom, TI, or Connexant PrismGT chipsets.
1185: Heck, avoid buying even regular

1.44 deraadt 1187: to send a message.
1.48 deraadt 1188: If you can, buy 802.11 products using chips by
1.44 deraadt 1189: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=rtw">Realtek</a>,
1190: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ral">Ralink</a>,

1193: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ath">Atheros</a>.
1194: Our manual pages attempt to explain which vendors (ie. D-Link) box
1.52 deraadt 1195: which chipsets into which product.
1.44 deraadt 1196: <br>
1197: <br>
1198: Send a message that open support for hardware matters. A vendor in
1.56 cloder 1199: Redmond largely continues their practices because they get
1.44 deraadt 1200: the chipset documentation years before everyone else does.
1201: What really upsets us the most is that some Linux vendors are signing
1202: Non-Disclosure Agreements with vendors, or contracts that let them
1203: distribute firmwares. Meanwhile both Linux and FSF head developers
1.49 nick 1204: are not asking their communities to help us in our efforts to free

1313: They say "Here's something free! Oh wait, I changed my mind."
1314: <p>
1315: While not exactly bait-and-switch, this is something which
1316: has been causing the community continual grief, and therefore
1317: we decided to honour a few of the projects that have decided
1.41 deraadt 1318: to go non-free. After all.. having gone non-free, no one is
1.37 deraadt 1319: going to remember them in the end.
1320: <p>
1321: This song is dedicated to a few worthy groups who
1322: have made this Free-to-Non-Free transition with their
1323: offerings in the last few years:
1324: <ul>
1325: <li>David Dawes worked for years with a team of
1326: developers to make a free X11 distribution for us to use,
1327: called XFree86, 98% of which was based on entirely free
1328: code from MIT. Suddenly, one day, he decided that
1329: we must give him more credit (ie. advertise his name) or
1330: stop using it. Within about 4 months every project had
1331: told him to get stuffed, and the community has created a
1332: replacement effort.
1.41 deraadt 1333: Now his team cannot even keep their web pages up to date...
1.37 deraadt 1334: <p>
1335: <li>OpenBSD was the first operating system to integrate a
1336: packet filter, and it was the ipf codebase from Darren Reed
1337: that we chose. But a few years later he told us that we
1338: were not free to make changes to the code. So we deleted ipf,
1339: and our new packet filter far exceeds the capabilities of the
1340: one he wrote. And other projects are switching too...
1341: <p>
1342: <li>The Apache group started from the humble beginnings
1343: of just being 'a patchy' set of changes to a completely free
1344: web server of dubious quality. But the years have changed them,
1345: and what they supply is now quite non-free... released under
1.40 jolan 1346: a license so entangled in legalese that we have absolutely no
1.51 jcs 1347: doubt that there are encumbrances hidden within. Legal terms
1.37 deraadt 1348: protect. Who are they protecting? Not your freedom.
1349: </ul>
1350: So here's a goodbye to those three groups, and a warning to any
1351: others who will follow them:
1352: Make your stuff non-free, and something else will

1478: A common theme used by the comedy crew Monty Python was to emphasize
1479: and exaggerate ridiculousnesses that their target had imposed upon
1480: themselves. Few things could be considered as humorous as making a
1481: redundancy protocol... redundant; e.g. being forced to replace it by
1482: Cisco lawyers and IETF policy.
1483: <p>
1484: We've been working a few years now on our packet filtering software
1485: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>
1486: and it became time to add failover. We want to be able to set up pf
1487: firewalls side by side, and exchange the stateful information between
1488: them, so that in case of failure another could take over 'keep state'
1489: sessions. Our
1490: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>
1491: protocol solves this problem. However, on both sides of the firewall,
1492: it is also necessary to have all the regular hosts not see a
1493: network failure. The only reliable way to do this is for both
1494: firewall machines to have and use the same IP and MAC addresses. But
1495: the only real way to do that is to use multicast protocols.
1496: <p>
1497: The IETF community proposed work in this direction in the late
1498: 90's, however in 1997 Cisco informed them that they believed some of
1499: Cisco's patents covered the proposed IETF VRRP (Virtual Router
1500: Redundancy Protocol); on
1501: <a href="http://www.ietf.org/ietf/IPR/VRRP-CISCO">
1502: March 20, 1998 they went further and specifically named their HSRP
1503: "Hot Standby Router Protocol" patent</a>. Reputedly, they were upset
1504: that IETF had not simply adopted the flawed HSRP protocol as the
1505: standard solution for this problem. Despite this legal pressure, the
1506: IETF community forged ahead and published VRRP as a standard even
1507: though there was a patent in the space. Why?
1508: <a href="http://www.cs-ipv6.lancs.ac.uk/ipv6/documents/standards/general-comms/ietf/vrrp/vrrp-minutes-97dec.txt">
1509: There was much deliberation</a>
1510: at all levels of the IETF, and unfortunately for all of us the
1511: politicians within eventually decided to allow patented technology in
1512: standards -- as long as the patented technology is licensed under RAND
1513: (Reasonable And Non Discriminatory) terms. As free software
1514: programmers, we therefore find ourselves in the position that these
1515: RAND standards must not be implemented by us, and we must deviate from
1516: the standard. We find all this rather Unreasonable and Discriminatory
1517: and we *will* design competing protocols. Some standards organization,
1518: eh?
1519: <p>
1520: Due to some HSRP flaws fixed by VRRP and for compatibility with the
1521: (HSRP-licensed) VRRP implementations of their competitors, Cisco in
1522: recent times has largely abandoned HSRP and now relies on VRRP instead
1523: -- a protocol designed for and by the community, but for which they
1524: claim patent rights.
1525: <p>
1526: On August 7 2002, after many communications, Robert Barr (Cisco's
1527: lawyer) firmly informed the OpenBSD community that Cisco would defend
1528: its patents for VRRP implementations -- meaning basically that it was
1529: impossible for a free software group to produce a truly free
1530: implementation of the IETF standard protocol. Perhaps this is because
1531: Cisco and Alcatel are currently engaged in a pair of patent lawsuits; a
1532: small piece of which is Cisco attempting to use the HSRP patent
1533: against Alcatel for their use of VRRP. Some IETF working group
1534: members took note of our complaints,
1535: <a href="http://lists.microshaft.org/pipermail/dmca_discuss/2003-April/004702.html">
1536: however an attempt in April 2003 to have the IETF abandon the use of
1537: patented technology failed to "reach consensus" in the IETF</a>.
1538: <p>
1539: A few years ago, the W3C, who designs our web protocols, tried to move
1540: to a RAND policy as well (primarily because of pressure from Microsoft
1541: and Apple), but the community outrage was so overpowering that they
1542: backed down. Some standards groups use this policy, while others
1543: avoid it -- the one differentiation being the amount of corporate
1.55 tom 1544: participation. In the IETF, the pro-RAND agents work for AT&T,
1.30 deraadt 1545: Alcatel, IBM, Cisco, Microsoft, and other large companies. Since IETF
1546: is an open forum, they can blend in as the populace, and vote just
1547: like all others, except against the community.
1548: <p>
1549: Translation: In failing to "reach consensus", the companies who
1550: benefit from RAND won, and the community lost again.
1551: <p>
1552: Left with little choice, we proceeded to reinvent the wheel or, more
1553: correctly, abandon the wheel entirely and go for a "hovercraft". We
1554: designed CARP (Common Address Redundancy Protocol) to solve the same
1555: problem that these other protocols are designed for, but without the
1556: same technological basis as HSRP and VRRP. We read the patent
1557: document carefully and ensured that CARP was fundamentally different.
1558: We also avoided many of the flaws in HSRP and VRRP (such as an inherent
1559: lack of security). And since we are OpenBSD developers, we designed
1560: it to use cryptography.
1561: <p>
1562: The combination of
1563: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>,
1564: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>, and
1565: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=carp&sektion=4">carp(4)</a>
1566: has permitted us to build highly redundant firewalls. To date, we
1567: have built a few networks that include as many as 4 firewalls, all
1568: running random reboot cycles. As long as one firewall is alive in a
1569: group, traffic through them moves smoothly and correctly for all of
1570: our packet filter functionality. Cisco's low end products are unable
1571: to do this reliably, and if they have high end products which can do
1572: this, you most certainly cannot afford them.
1573: <p>
1574: As a final note of course, when we petitioned IANA, the IETF body
1575: regulating "official" internet protocol numbers, to give us numbers
1576: for CARP and pfsync our request was denied. Apparently we had failed
1577: to go through an official standards organization. Consequently we
1578: were forced to choose a protocol number which would not conflict with
1579: anything else of value, and decided to place CARP at IP protocol 112.
1580: We also placed pfsync at an open and unused number. We informed IANA of
1581: these decisions, but they declined to reply.
1582: <p>
1583: This ridiculous situation then inspired one of our developers to create
1584: this parody of the well-known Monty Python skit and song.

1876: Join Puffy Hood and his Funny Fish as they take on
1.26 deraadt 1877: the Sheriff (an unelected leader) and other evil
1.20 deraadt 1878: forces of the draconian government!
1879: <p>
1880: <br>
1881: As we did for the 3.3 release, we have once again tried
1882: making release artwork and music which are allegorical
1883: of recent happenings.
1884: <p>
1885: Two years ago we became involved with the University
1886: of Pennsylvania and DARPA, who were funding us to do
1887: security research and development .. on things that
1888: we were already intending to do. We provided ideas,
1889: wrote papers, and deployed cutting-edge technology;
1890: DARPA provided finances and reaped a share of the
1891: credit, and the University of Pennsylvania acted as
1892: a middle-man. We accepted funding based on the
1893: promise that our freedom to operate as we wished
1894: was unaffected. To us, freedom is more important
1.21 deraadt 1895: than funding -- heck, we were dealing with the evil
1.20 deraadt 1896: forces of government, and needed to be careful.
1897: <p>
1898: A few months prior to this release, DARPA suddenly
1899: and without warning decided to withdraw that funding;
1900: they also aggressively backed out of contractual
1901: obligations. Many articles in the <a href=press.html>press</a> followed regarding
1.67 jolan 1902: this sudden maneuver. Apparently this hoopla happened
1.20 deraadt 1903: because an OpenBSD-related article in the Canadian
1.55 tom 1904: newspaper The Globe & Mail had quoted Theo de Raadt
1.20 deraadt 1905: making anti-war statements regarding Iraq and the
1906: theft of oil.
1907: <p>
1908: The only answer given (to major media reporters) by a
1909: DARPA spokesperson (Jan Walker) was this:
1910: <p>
1911: "As a result of the DARPA review of the
1912: project, and due to world events and the evolving
1913: threat posed by increasingly capable nation-states,
1914: the Government on April 21 advised the University
1915: to suspend work on the "security fest" portion of
1916: the project."
1917: <p>
1918: That almost toes the line of calling us terrorists!
1919: We had lost financial support, but the release of the
1920: statement above suddenly made us very happy to be free
1921: of any perceived obligation to such crazy people.
1922: <p>
1923: Since the termination came near natural contract
1924: termination (about 4 months remained), less damage
1925: than expected was sustained by the project. Sponsors
1926: stepped forward and helped us make up the missing funds
1927: we needed to run our "Hackathon", and the event
1.61 grunk 1928: proceeded as planned. We even had T-shirts made with
1.20 deraadt 1929: "Workstations of Mass Development" artwork for those
1930: developers who attended (sorry, they are not for sale).
1931: <p>
1932: We could not make stories like this up. So instead,
1933: we are making up an allegory about it, using the tale
1934: of Robin Hood.
