                     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
1.108     deraadt    24: classical setting, a movie, or some genre) into the fishy world of
                     25: Puffy, to describe some event or controversy the project went through
                     26: over the previous six months.  To match the art released with the CD,
                     27: Ty and his friend Jonathan Lewis build the song and bring in
                     28: additional hired musicians from around Calgary.  Theo then gets the
                     29: pleasure (and responsibility) to write a commentary explaining it all.

                    768: would think it might be easy to stick to those goals, but it doesn't
                    769: seem to work out that way.  A variety of desires drag many projects

1.90      deraadt   774: available to those who will surrender their moral code.  A project
                    775: could compromise by entering into NDA agreements with vendors, or

                    779: of the ideals, and we simply will not do this.  Sure, we care about
                    780: getting devices working, but not at the expense of our original goals.
                    781: <p>
                    782: Of course since "free to share with anyone" is part of our goals,

1.91      merdely   784: resulting in a good number of successes.  This success had led to much

                    796: we really have not strayed at all in 10 years.  But we can expect more
                    797: from projects who talk about sharing -- such as the various Linux

                    805: as some conspiracy theory, but we simply urge those developers caution
                    806: -- they should ensure that the path they are being shown by those who

1.81      deraadt   925: all the way up to X, and then even to applications) use fairly obvious
                    926: interface layers, where the "communication protocols" or "argument passing"
                    927: mechanisms (ie. APIs) can be understood by any developer who takes the
                    928: time to read the free code.  Device drivers pose an additional and significant
                    929: challenge though: because many vendors refuse to document the exact behavior
                    930: of their devices.  The devices are black boxes.  And often they are surprisingly
                    931: weird, or even buggy.

                    933: When vendor documentation does not exist, the development process can
                    934: become extremely hairy.  Groups of developers have found themselves focused
                    935: for months at a time, figuring out the most simple steps, simply because
                    936: the hardware is a complete mystery.  Access to documentation can ease
                    937: these difficulties rapidly.  However, getting access to the chip documentation
                    938: from vendors is ... almost always a negotiation.  If we had open access to
1.84      matthieu  939: documentation, anyone would be able to see how simple all these devices
1.81      deraadt   940: actually are, and device driver development would flourish (and not just in

                    944: our position is often weak.  One would assume that the modern market is fair,
                    945: and that selling chips would be the primary focus of these vendors.  But
                    946: unfortunately a number of behemoth software vendors have spent the last 10 or
                    947: 20 years building

                   1499: For a multitude of (stupid) reasons, vendors often attempt to lock
                   1500: out our participation with their customers by refusing to give our
                   1501: programmers sufficient documentation so that we can properly support
                   1502: their devices.
                   1503: <p>
                   1504: Take Adaptec for instance.  Before the 3.7 release we disabled support

1.58      deraadt  1507: Adaptec RAID driver because negotiations with the Adaptec had failed.
                   1508: They refused to give us documentation.  Without documentation, support
                   1509: for their controller had always been poor.  The driver had bugs (which
                   1510: affected some users more than others) which caused crashes, and of
                   1511: course there was no RAID management support.  Apparently most of these
1.59      jolan    1512: bugs are because the Adaptec controllers have numerous buggy firmware
                   1513: issues which require careful workarounds; without documentation we
                   1514: cannot solve these issues.
1.58      deraadt  1515: <p>
                   1516: The driver was written by an OpenBSD developer, who cribbed parts
                   1517: of it from a FreeBSD driver written by an ex-Adaptec employee.  But no
                   1518: public documentation exists, and Adaptec has dozens of cards with
                   1519: different firmware issues. All of this adds up to a very desperate
                   1520: development model -- it becomes very hard for the principle of
                   1521: "quality" to show its head.
                   1522: <p>
                   1523: RAID devices have two main qualities that people buy them for:
                   1524: <br>
                   1525: <ul>
1.60      pvalchev 1526: <li>Redundancy
1.58      deraadt  1527: <li>Repair
                   1528: </ul>
                   1529: You want a RAID unit to provide you with redundancy, so that if some drives
1.60      pvalchev 1530: fail, your data is not lost.  But once a drive has failed, you require your
                   1531: array to (automatically, most likely) perform the operations to repair
1.58      deraadt  1532: itself, so that it is functioning perfectly again.
                   1533: <p>
                   1534: Some vendors (or like the above Adaptec case, ex-employee) have
                   1535: sometimes given us some documentation so that we could write drivers,
                   1536: so that their devices could support Redundancy.  But these vendors have
                   1537: never given us any documentation for performing Repairs.
                   1538: <p>
                   1539: Instead these vendors have tried to pass out non-free RAID management
                   1540: tools.  These are typically gigantic Linux binaries, or some crazy thing, that
1.67      jolan    1541: is supposed to work through a bizarre interface in the device driver, which
1.58      deraadt  1542: we are apparently supposed to write code for without any documentation.
                   1543: <p>
                   1544: And since we refuse to accept our users being forced into depending on
                   1545: vendor binaries, we have reverse engineered the management interface for
                   1546: the AMI controllers.
                   1547: <p>
                   1548: There is no great "intellectual property" in this stuff, it is all
                   1549: rather simple primitives.  This is all that we need to implement
                   1550: basic RAID management:
                   1551: <ul>
                   1552: <li>SCSI transactions on the back-side busses
                   1553: <li>Discovering which drives are in which volumes
                   1554: <li>Being able to silence the buzzer
                   1555: <li>Marking a new drive as a Hot-Spare
                   1556: </ul>
                   1557: <p>
                   1558: The AMI driver needed to support these small primitive operations.
                   1559: And once we had that, we rely on something else which we know: Almost
                   1560: all the RAID controllers would need the same primitives.
                   1561: <p>
                   1562: Thus armed, we were able to write a generic framework which would later
                   1563: work on other vendors' RAID cards, that is, once we get documentation
                   1564: or do some reverse engineering for their products.
                   1565: <p>
1.60      pvalchev 1566: But having been ignored for so long by these vendors, it is not clear when (if
                   1567: ever) we will get around to writing that support for Adaptec RAID
1.58      deraadt  1568: controllers now.  And Adaptec has gone and bought ICP Vortex, which
                   1569: may mean we can never get documentation for the

                   1680: <br>
                   1681: Ethernet was our first concern. Many vendors refused to supply

                   1683: Becker (Linux) and Bill Paul (FreeBSD) changed the rules of the game
                   1684: here: They wrote drivers for the chipsets that they could get

                   1688: still resist releasing ethernet chipset documentation (ie. Broadcom,

                   1692: Similar problems have happened in the SCSI, IDE, and RAID markets.
                   1693: Again, the problem was solved by writing drivers for documented
                   1694: devices first. If the free software user communities use those drivers
                   1695: preferentially, it is a market loss for the secretive vendors.

                   1850: have made this Free-to-Non-Free transition with their
                   1851: offerings in the last few years:
                   1852: <ul>
                   1853: <li>David Dawes worked for years with a team of
                   1854: developers to make a free X11 distribution for us to use,
                   1855: called XFree86, 98% of which was based on entirely free
                   1856: code from MIT. Suddenly, one day, he decided that
                   1857: we must give him more credit (ie. advertise his name) or
                   1858: stop using it.  Within about 4 months every project had
                   1859: told him to get stuffed, and the community has created a
                   1860: replacement effort.

                   1863: <li>OpenBSD was the first operating system to integrate a
                   1864: packet filter, and it was the ipf codebase from Darren Reed
                   1865: that we chose.  But a few years later he told us that we
                   1866: were not free to make changes to the code.  So we deleted ipf,
                   1867: and our new packet filter far exceeds the capabilities of the
                   1868: one he wrote. And other projects are switching too...
                   1869: <p>
                   1870: <li>The Apache group started from the humble beginnings
                   1871: of just being 'a patchy' set of changes to a completely free
                   1872: web server of dubious quality.  But the years have changed them,
                   1873: and what they supply is now quite non-free... released under
1.40      jolan    1874: a license so entangled in legalese that we have absolutely no
1.51      jcs      1875: doubt that there are encumbrances hidden within.  Legal terms
1.37      deraadt  1876: protect.  Who are they protecting?  Not your freedom.

                   1879: others who will follow them:
                   1880: Make your stuff non-free, and something else will

                   2413: Two years ago we became involved with the University

                   2415: security research and development .. on things that

                   2418: DARPA provided finances and reaped a share of the
                   2419: credit, and the University of Pennsylvania acted as
                   2420: a middle-man.  We accepted funding based on the
                   2421: promise that our freedom to operate as we wished
                   2422: was unaffected. To us, freedom is more important
1.21      deraadt  2423: than funding -- heck, we were dealing with the evil
1.20      deraadt  2424: forces of government, and needed to be careful.

                   2426: A few months prior to this release, DARPA suddenly
                   2427: and without warning decided to withdraw that funding;
                   2428: they also aggressively backed out of contractual

1.67      jolan    2430: this sudden maneuver.  Apparently this hoopla happened
1.20      deraadt  2431: because an OpenBSD-related article in the Canadian

                   2438: <p>
                   2439: &quot;As a result of the DARPA review of the

                   2441: threat posed by increasingly capable nation-states,
                   2442: the Government on April 21 advised the University

                   2448: statement above suddenly made us very happy to be free
                   2449: of any perceived obligation to such crazy people.

                   2452: termination (about 4 months remained), less damage
                   2453: than expected was sustained by the project.  Sponsors
                   2454: stepped forward and helped us make up the missing funds
                   2455: we needed to run our "Hackathon", and the event
1.61      grunk    2456: proceeded as planned.  We even had T-shirts made with
