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.

! 99: The <a href="#44">OpenBSD 4.4 release artwork</a> honoured
! 100: the (Berkeley) CSRG guys for their efforts with the BSD 4.4
! 101: release -- they fought and managed to free the code.<br>
! 102: <br>
! 103: This release the artwork is based on the stories of Douglas Adams,
! 104: including his favorite number -- 42. Therefore we can remember
! 105: the previous major achievement of CSRG - BSD 4.2.<br>
! 106: <br>
! 107: BSD 4.2 was
! 108: not free, but it created and integrated so many new
! 109: technologies that we all depend on today. Take a moment
! 110: to consider how many things first available in BSD 4.2 you are using
! 111: at this moment, to read this page -- sockets, AF_INET,
! 112: virtual memory, etc.<br>
! 113: <br>
! 114: Today, new releases of operating systems from well-known vendors
! 115: contain less new features than BSD 4.2 did.<br>
! 116: <br>
! 117: If only we could stop slacking and make a release like that!

543: Nearly 10 years ago Kirk McKusick wrote a history of
544: the Berkeley Unix distributions for the
1.121 deraadt 545: O'Reilly book "Open Sources: Voices from the Open Source Revolution".
1.104 deraadt 546: We recommend you read his story, entitled
547: <a href="http://oreilly.com/catalog/opensources/book/kirkmck.html">
548: "Twenty Years of Berkeley Unix
549: From AT&T-Owned to Freely Redistributable"</a>
550: first, to see how Kirk remembers how we got here.
551: Sadly, since it showed up in book form originally, this text has
552: probably not been read by enough people.
553: <br>
554: <br>
555: The USL(AT&T) vs BSDI/UCB court case settlement documents were
556: not public until recently; their disclosure has made the facts more clear.
557: But the story of how three people decided to free the BSD codebase
558: of corporate pollution -- and release it freely -- is more interesting
559: than the lawsuit which followed. Sure, a stupid lawsuit happened which
560: hindered the acceptance of the BSD code during a critical period.
561: But how did a bunch of guys go through the effort of replacing so
562: much AT&T code in the first place? After all, companies had
563: lots of really evil lawyers back then too -- were they not afraid?
564: <br>
565: <br>
566: After a decade of development, most of the AT&T code had
567: already been replaced by university researchers and their associates.
568: So Keith Bostic, Mike Karels and Kirk McKusick (the main UCB CSRG group)
569: started going through the 4.3BSD codebase to cleanse the rest.
570: Keith, in particular, built a ragtag team (in those days, USENIX
571: conferences were a gold mine for such team building) and led these
572: rebels to rewrite and replace all the Imperial AT&T code, piece by
573: piece, starting with the libraries and userland programs.
574: Anyone who helped only got credit as a Contributor -- people like
575: Chris Torek and a cast of .. hundreds more.
576: <br>
577: <br>
1.105 deraadt 578: Then Mike and Kirk purified the kernel. After a bit more careful
1.104 deraadt 579: checking, this led to the release of a clean tree called Net/2 which
580: was given to the world in June 1991 -- the largest dump of free source
581: code the world had ever received (for those days -- not modern monsters like OpenOffice).
582: <br>
583: <br>
584: Some of these ragtags formed a company (BSDi) to sell a production system
585: based on this free code base, and a year later Unix System Laboratories
586: (basically AT&T) sued BSDi and UCB.
587: Eventually AT&T lost and after a few trifling fixes (described in the
588: lawsuit documents) the codebase was free. A few newer developments
589: (and more free code) were added, and released in June 1994 as 4.4BSD-Lite.
590: Just over 14 years later OpenBSD is releasing its own 4.4 release (and for
591: a lot less than <a href=orders.html>$1000 per copy</a>).
592: <br>
593: <br>
594: The OpenBSD 4.4 release is dedicated to Keith Bostic, Mike Karels, Kirk McKusick,
595: and all of those who contributed to making Net/2 and 4.4BSD-Lite free.

671: Once again the fight is fought<br>

718: In 1998 when a United Airlines plane was waiting in the queue at
1.102 deraadt 719: Washington Dulles International Airport for take-off to New Orleans
720: (where a Usenix conference was taking place), one man stood up from
721: his seat, demanded that they stop waiting in the queue and be permitted
1.95 deraadt 722: to deplane. Even after orders from the crew and a pilot from
723: the cockpit he refused to sit down. The plane exited the queue
1.96 deraadt 724: and returned to the airport gangway. Security personnel ran onto
1.95 deraadt 725: the plane and removed this man, Richard Stallman, from the plane.
726: After Richard was removed from the plane, everyone else stayed
727: onboard and continued their journey to New Orleans. A few
728: OpenBSD developers were on that same plane, seated very closeby,
729: so we have an accurate story of the events.
730: <br>
731: <br>
732: This is the man who presumes that he should preach to us
733: about morality, freedom, and what is best for us. He believes
734: it is his God-given role to tell us what is best for us, when he
735: has shown that he takes actions which are not best for everyone.
736: He prefers actions which he thinks are best for him -- and him
737: alone -- and then lies to the public. Richard Stallman is no Spock.
738: <br>
739: <br>
740: We release our software in ways that are maximally free. We
741: remove all restrictions on use and distribution, but leave a
742: requirement to be known as the authors. We follow a pattern of
743: free source code distribution that started in the mid-1980's
744: in Berkeley, from before Richard Stallman had any powerful
745: influence which he could use so falsely.
746: <br>
747: <br>
748: We have a development sub-tree called "ports". Our "ports" tree
749: builds software that is 'found on the net' into packages that
750: OpenBSD users can use more easily. A scaffold of Makefiles and
751: scripts automatically fetch these pieces of software, apply
752: patches as required by OpenBSD, and then build them into nice
753: neat little tarballs. This is provided as a convenience for
1.97 okan 754: users. The ports tree is maintained by OpenBSD entirely separately
1.95 deraadt 755: from our main source tree. Some of the software which is fetched
756: and compiled is not as free as we would like, but what can we do.
757: All the other operating system projects make exactly the same
758: decision, and provide these same conveniences to their users.
759: <br>
760: <br>
761: Richard felt that this "ports tree" of ours made OpenBSD non-free.
762: He came to our mailing lists and lectured to us specifically, yet
763: he said nothing to the many other vendors who do the same; many of
764: them donate to the FSF and perhaps that has something to do with it.
765: Meanwhile, Richard has personally made sure that all the official
766: GNU software -- including Emacs -- compiles and runs on Windows.
767: <br>
768: <br>
769: That man is a false leader. He is a hypocrite. There may be some
770: people who listen to him. But we don't listen to people who do not
771: follow their own stupid rules.

872: Those of us who work on OpenBSD are often asked why we do what we do.
1.91 merdely 873: This song's lyrics express the core motivations and goals which have
1.90 deraadt 874: remained unchanged over the years - secure, free, reliable software,
875: that can be shared with anyone. Many other projects purport to share
876: these same goals, and love to wrap themselves in a banner of "Open
877: Source" and "Free Software". Given how many projects there are one
878: would think it might be easy to stick to those goals, but it doesn't
879: seem to work out that way. A variety of desires drag many projects
880: away from the ideals very quickly.
881: <p>
1.93 jmc 882: Much of any operating system's usability depends on device support,
1.91 merdely 883: and there are some very tempting alternative ways to support devices
1.90 deraadt 884: available to those who will surrender their moral code. A project
885: could compromise by entering into NDA agreements with vendors, or
886: including binary objects in the operating system for which no source
887: code exists, or tying their users down with contract terms hidden
888: inside copyright notices. All of these choices surrender some subset
889: of the ideals, and we simply will not do this. Sure, we care about
890: getting devices working, but not at the expense of our original goals.
891: <p>
892: Of course since "free to share with anyone" is part of our goals,
893: we've been at the forefront of many licensing and NDA issues,
1.91 merdely 894: resulting in a good number of successes. This success had led to much
1.90 deraadt 895: recognition for the advancement of Free Software causes, but has also
896: led to other issues.
897: <p>
898: We fully admit that some BSD licensed software has been taken and used
899: by many commercial entities, but contributions come back more often
900: than people seem to know, and when they do, they're always still
901: properly attributed to the original authors, and given back in the
902: same spirit that they were given in the first place.
903: <p>
904: That's the best we can expect from companies. After all, we make our
905: stuff so free so that everyone can benefit -- it remains a core goal;
906: we really have not strayed at all in 10 years. But we can expect more
907: from projects who talk about sharing -- such as the various Linux
908: projects.
909: <p>
910: Now rather than seeing us as friends who can cooperatively improve all
911: codebases, we are seen as foes who oppose the GPL. The participants
912: of "the race" are being manipulated by the FSF and their legal arm, the
913: SFLC, for the FSF's aims, rather than the goal of getting good source
914: into Linux (and all other code bases). We don't want this to come off
915: as some conspiracy theory, but we simply urge those developers caution
916: -- they should ensure that the path they are being shown by those who
917: have positioned themselves as leaders is still true. Run for yourself,

1027: As developers of a free operating system, one of our prime responsibilities
1028: is device support. No matter how nice an operating system is, it remains
1029: useless and unusable without solid support for a wide percentage of the
1030: hardware that is available on the market. It is therefore rather unsurprising
1031: that more than half of our efforts focus on various aspects relating to
1032: device support.
1033: <p>
1.85 mbalmer 1034: Most parts of the operating system (from low kernel, through to libraries,
1.81 deraadt 1035: all the way up to X, and then even to applications) use fairly obvious
1036: interface layers, where the "communication protocols" or "argument passing"
1037: mechanisms (ie. APIs) can be understood by any developer who takes the
1038: time to read the free code. Device drivers pose an additional and significant
1039: challenge though: because many vendors refuse to document the exact behavior
1040: of their devices. The devices are black boxes. And often they are surprisingly
1041: weird, or even buggy.
1042: <p>
1043: When vendor documentation does not exist, the development process can
1044: become extremely hairy. Groups of developers have found themselves focused
1045: for months at a time, figuring out the most simple steps, simply because
1046: the hardware is a complete mystery. Access to documentation can ease
1047: these difficulties rapidly. However, getting access to the chip documentation
1048: from vendors is ... almost always a negotiation. If we had open access to
1.84 matthieu 1049: documentation, anyone would be able to see how simple all these devices
1.81 deraadt 1050: actually are, and device driver development would flourish (and not just in
1051: OpenBSD, either).
1052: <p>
1053: When we proceed into negotiations with vendors, asking for documentation,
1054: our position is often weak. One would assume that the modern market is fair,
1055: and that selling chips would be the primary focus of these vendors. But
1056: unfortunately a number of behemoth software vendors have spent the last 10 or
1057: 20 years building

1.81 deraadt 1059: political hurdles against the smaller players</a>.
1060: <p>
1.82 jsg 1061: A particularly nasty player in this regard has been the Linux vendors and
1.87 tom 1062: some Linux developers, who have played along with an American corporate model
1.81 deraadt 1063: of requiring NDAs for chip documentation. This has effectively put Linux
1064: into the club with Microsoft, but has left all the other operating system
1065: communities -- and their developers -- with much less available clout for
1066: requesting documentation. In a more fair world, the Linux vendors would
1067: work with us, and the device driver support in all free operating systems
1068: would be fantastic by now.

1424: OpenBSD emphasizes security. It also emphasizes openness. All the code
1425: is there for all to see. Blobs are vendor-compiled binary drivers
1426: without any source code. Hardware makers like them because they
1427: obscure the details of how to make their hardware work. They hide bugs
1428: and workarounds for bugs. Newer versions of blobs can weaken support
1429: for older hardware and motivate people to buy new hardware.<br>
1430: <br>
1431: <br>
1432: Blobs are expedient. Many other open source operating systems
1433: cheerfully incorporate them; in fact their users demand them.<br>
1434: <br>
1435: <br>
1436: But when you need to trust the system, how do you check the blob for
1437: quality? For adherence to standards? How do you know the blob contains
1438: no malicious code? No incompetent code? Inspection is impossible; you
1439: can only test the black box. And when it breaks, you have no idea why.<br>
1440: <br>
1441: <br>
1442: <ul>
1443: <li>Blobs can be 'de-supported' by vendors<br>
1444: at any time.<br>
1445: <br>
1446: <li>Blobs cannot be supported by developers.<br>
1447: <br>
1448: <li>Blobs cannot be fixed by developers.<br>
1449: <br>
1450: <li>Blobs cannot be improved.<br>
1451: <br>
1452: <li>Blobs cannot be audited.<br>
1453: <br>
1454: <li>
1455: Blobs are specific to an architecture, thus<br>
1456: less portable.<br>
1457: <br>
1458: <li>Blobs are quite often massively bloated.<br>
1459: </ul>
1460: <br>
1461: <br>
1462: This release, like every OpenBSD release, contains OpenBSD and its
1463: source code. It runs on a wide variety of hardware. It contains many
1464: new features and improvements. OpenBSD does attempt to convince
1465: vendors to release documentation, and often reverse-engineers around
1466: the need for blobs. OpenBSD remains blob-free. Anyone can look at it,
1467: assess it, improve it. If it breaks, it can be fixed.

1609: For a multitude of (stupid) reasons, vendors often attempt to lock
1610: out our participation with their customers by refusing to give our
1611: programmers sufficient documentation so that we can properly support
1612: their devices.
1613: <p>
1614: Take Adaptec for instance. Before the 3.7 release we disabled support
1615: for the
1.70 steven 1616: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=aac&sektion=4">aac(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 1617: Adaptec RAID driver because negotiations with the Adaptec had failed.
1618: They refused to give us documentation. Without documentation, support
1619: for their controller had always been poor. The driver had bugs (which
1620: affected some users more than others) which caused crashes, and of
1621: course there was no RAID management support. Apparently most of these
1.59 jolan 1622: bugs are because the Adaptec controllers have numerous buggy firmware
1623: issues which require careful workarounds; without documentation we
1624: cannot solve these issues.
1.58 deraadt 1625: <p>
1626: The driver was written by an OpenBSD developer, who cribbed parts
1627: of it from a FreeBSD driver written by an ex-Adaptec employee. But no
1628: public documentation exists, and Adaptec has dozens of cards with
1629: different firmware issues. All of this adds up to a very desperate
1630: development model -- it becomes very hard for the principle of
1631: "quality" to show its head.
1632: <p>
1633: RAID devices have two main qualities that people buy them for:
1634: <br>
1635: <ul>
1.60 pvalchev 1636: <li>Redundancy
1.58 deraadt 1637: <li>Repair
1638: </ul>
1639: You want a RAID unit to provide you with redundancy, so that if some drives
1.60 pvalchev 1640: fail, your data is not lost. But once a drive has failed, you require your
1641: array to (automatically, most likely) perform the operations to repair
1.58 deraadt 1642: itself, so that it is functioning perfectly again.
1643: <p>
1644: Some vendors (or like the above Adaptec case, ex-employee) have
1645: sometimes given us some documentation so that we could write drivers,
1646: so that their devices could support Redundancy. But these vendors have
1647: never given us any documentation for performing Repairs.
1648: <p>
1649: Instead these vendors have tried to pass out non-free RAID management
1650: tools. These are typically gigantic Linux binaries, or some crazy thing, that
1.67 jolan 1651: is supposed to work through a bizarre interface in the device driver, which
1.58 deraadt 1652: we are apparently supposed to write code for without any documentation.
1653: <p>
1654: And since we refuse to accept our users being forced into depending on
1655: vendor binaries, we have reverse engineered the management interface for
1656: the AMI controllers.
1657: <p>
1658: There is no great "intellectual property" in this stuff, it is all
1659: rather simple primitives. This is all that we need to implement
1660: basic RAID management:
1661: <ul>
1662: <li>SCSI transactions on the back-side busses
1663: <li>Discovering which drives are in which volumes
1664: <li>Being able to silence the buzzer
1665: <li>Marking a new drive as a Hot-Spare
1666: </ul>
1667: <p>
1668: The AMI driver needed to support these small primitive operations.
1669: And once we had that, we rely on something else which we know: Almost
1670: all the RAID controllers would need the same primitives.
1671: <p>
1672: Thus armed, we were able to write a generic framework which would later
1673: work on other vendors' RAID cards, that is, once we get documentation
1674: or do some reverse engineering for their products.
1675: <p>
1.60 pvalchev 1676: But having been ignored for so long by these vendors, it is not clear when (if
1677: ever) we will get around to writing that support for Adaptec RAID
1.58 deraadt 1678: controllers now. And Adaptec has gone and bought ICP Vortex, which
1679: may mean we can never get documentation for the
1.70 steven 1680: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=gdt&sektion=4">gdt(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 1681: controllers.
1682: The "Open Source Friendly liar" IBM owns Mylex, and Mylex has told us we
1683: would not get documentation, either.
1684: 3Ware has lied to us and our users so many times they make politicians
1685: look saintly.
1686: <p>
1687: Until other vendors give us documentation, if you want reliable RAID
1688: in OpenBSD, please buy
1689: <a href="http://www.lsilogic.com/products/megaraid/index.html">LSI/AMI</a>

1788: For an operating system to get anywhere in "the market" it must have
1789: good device support.<br>
1790: <br>
1791: Ethernet was our first concern. Many vendors refused to supply
1792: programmers with programming documentation for these chipsets. Donald
1793: Becker (Linux) and Bill Paul (FreeBSD) changed the rules of the game
1794: here: They wrote drivers for the chipsets that they could get
1795: documentation for, and as they succeeded in writing more and more
1796: drivers, eventually closed vendors slowly opened up until most
1797: ethernet chipset documentation was available. Today, some vendors
1798: still resist releasing ethernet chipset documentation (ie. Broadcom,
1.62 brad 1799: Intel, Marvell/SysKonnect, NVIDIA) but the driver problem is mostly
1.46 henning 1800: solved in the ethernet market.<br>
1.44 deraadt 1801: <br>
1802: Similar problems have happened in the SCSI, IDE, and RAID markets.
1803: Again, the problem was solved by writing drivers for documented
1804: devices first. If the free software user communities use those drivers
1805: preferentially, it is a market loss for the secretive vendors.
1806: Another approach that has worked is to publish email addresses and
1807: phone numbers for the marketing department managers in these
1808: companies. These email campaigns have worked almost every time.<br>
1809: <br>
1810: The new frontier: 802.11 wireless chipsets.<br>
1811: <br>
1812: Over the last six months, this came to a head in the OpenBSD project.
1813: We asked our users to help us petition numerous vendors so that we
1814: could get chipset documentation or redistributable firmware. Certainly, we did
1.52 deraadt 1815: not succeed for some vendors. But we did influence some vendors, in
1.44 deraadt 1816: particular the Taiwanese (Ralink and Realtek), who have given us
1817: everything we need. We also reverse engineered the Atheros chipsets.<br>

1.44 deraadt 1834: <br>

1.56 cloder 1837: Redmond largely continues their practices because they get
1.44 deraadt 1838: the chipset documentation years before everyone else does.
1839: What really upsets us the most is that some Linux vendors are signing
1840: Non-Disclosure Agreements with vendors, or contracts that let them
1841: distribute firmwares. Meanwhile both Linux and FSF head developers
1.49 nick 1842: are not asking their communities to help us in our efforts to free
1.44 deraadt 1843: development information for all, but are even going further and
1844: telling their development communities to not work with us at

1950: What is up with some free software providers?!
1951: They say "Here's something free! Oh wait, I changed my mind."
1952: <p>
1953: While not exactly bait-and-switch, this is something which
1954: has been causing the community continual grief, and therefore
1955: we decided to honour a few of the projects that have decided
1.41 deraadt 1956: to go non-free. After all.. having gone non-free, no one is
1.37 deraadt 1957: going to remember them in the end.
1958: <p>
1959: This song is dedicated to a few worthy groups who
1960: have made this Free-to-Non-Free transition with their
1961: offerings in the last few years:
1962: <ul>
1963: <li>David Dawes worked for years with a team of
1964: developers to make a free X11 distribution for us to use,
1965: called XFree86, 98% of which was based on entirely free
1966: code from MIT. Suddenly, one day, he decided that
1967: we must give him more credit (ie. advertise his name) or
1968: stop using it. Within about 4 months every project had
1969: told him to get stuffed, and the community has created a
1970: replacement effort.
1.41 deraadt 1971: Now his team cannot even keep their web pages up to date...
1.37 deraadt 1972: <p>
1973: <li>OpenBSD was the first operating system to integrate a
1974: packet filter, and it was the ipf codebase from Darren Reed
1975: that we chose. But a few years later he told us that we
1976: were not free to make changes to the code. So we deleted ipf,
1977: and our new packet filter far exceeds the capabilities of the
1978: one he wrote. And other projects are switching too...
1979: <p>
1980: <li>The Apache group started from the humble beginnings
1981: of just being 'a patchy' set of changes to a completely free
1982: web server of dubious quality. But the years have changed them,
1983: and what they supply is now quite non-free... released under
1.40 jolan 1984: a license so entangled in legalese that we have absolutely no
1.51 jcs 1985: doubt that there are encumbrances hidden within. Legal terms
1.37 deraadt 1986: protect. Who are they protecting? Not your freedom.
1987: </ul>
1988: So here's a goodbye to those three groups, and a warning to any
1989: others who will follow them:
1990: Make your stuff non-free, and something else will
1991: replace it.

2116: A common theme used by the comedy crew Monty Python was to emphasize
2117: and exaggerate ridiculousnesses that their target had imposed upon
2118: themselves. Few things could be considered as humorous as making a
2119: redundancy protocol... redundant; e.g. being forced to replace it by
2120: Cisco lawyers and IETF policy.
2121: <p>
2122: We've been working a few years now on our packet filtering software
2123: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>
2124: and it became time to add failover. We want to be able to set up pf
2125: firewalls side by side, and exchange the stateful information between
2126: them, so that in case of failure another could take over 'keep state'
2127: sessions. Our
2128: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>
2129: protocol solves this problem. However, on both sides of the firewall,
2130: it is also necessary to have all the regular hosts not see a
2131: network failure. The only reliable way to do this is for both
2132: firewall machines to have and use the same IP and MAC addresses. But
2133: the only real way to do that is to use multicast protocols.
2134: <p>
2135: The IETF community proposed work in this direction in the late
2136: 90's, however in 1997 Cisco informed them that they believed some of
2137: Cisco's patents covered the proposed IETF VRRP (Virtual Router
2138: Redundancy Protocol); on
2139: <a href="http://www.ietf.org/ietf/IPR/VRRP-CISCO">
2140: March 20, 1998 they went further and specifically named their HSRP
2141: "Hot Standby Router Protocol" patent</a>. Reputedly, they were upset
2142: that IETF had not simply adopted the flawed HSRP protocol as the
2143: standard solution for this problem. Despite this legal pressure, the
2144: IETF community forged ahead and published VRRP as a standard even
2145: though there was a patent in the space. Why?
1.122 deraadt 2146: <a href="http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/doc/ietf/vrrp/vrrp-minutes-97dec.txt">
1.30 deraadt 2147: There was much deliberation</a>
2148: at all levels of the IETF, and unfortunately for all of us the
2149: politicians within eventually decided to allow patented technology in
2150: standards -- as long as the patented technology is licensed under RAND
2151: (Reasonable And Non Discriminatory) terms. As free software
2152: programmers, we therefore find ourselves in the position that these
2153: RAND standards must not be implemented by us, and we must deviate from
2154: the standard. We find all this rather Unreasonable and Discriminatory
2155: and we *will* design competing protocols. Some standards organization,
2156: eh?
2157: <p>
2158: Due to some HSRP flaws fixed by VRRP and for compatibility with the
2159: (HSRP-licensed) VRRP implementations of their competitors, Cisco in
2160: recent times has largely abandoned HSRP and now relies on VRRP instead
2161: -- a protocol designed for and by the community, but for which they
2162: claim patent rights.
2163: <p>
2164: On August 7 2002, after many communications, Robert Barr (Cisco's
2165: lawyer) firmly informed the OpenBSD community that Cisco would defend
2166: its patents for VRRP implementations -- meaning basically that it was
2167: impossible for a free software group to produce a truly free
2168: implementation of the IETF standard protocol. Perhaps this is because
2169: Cisco and Alcatel are currently engaged in a pair of patent lawsuits; a
2170: small piece of which is Cisco attempting to use the HSRP patent
2171: against Alcatel for their use of VRRP. Some IETF working group
2172: members took note of our complaints,
1.122 deraadt 2173: <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20061109082106/http://lists.microshaft.org/pipermail/dmca_discuss/2003-April/004702.html">
1.30 deraadt 2174: however an attempt in April 2003 to have the IETF abandon the use of
2175: patented technology failed to "reach consensus" in the IETF</a>.
2176: <p>
2177: A few years ago, the W3C, who designs our web protocols, tried to move
2178: to a RAND policy as well (primarily because of pressure from Microsoft
2179: and Apple), but the community outrage was so overpowering that they
2180: backed down. Some standards groups use this policy, while others
2181: avoid it -- the one differentiation being the amount of corporate
1.55 tom 2182: participation. In the IETF, the pro-RAND agents work for AT&T,
1.30 deraadt 2183: Alcatel, IBM, Cisco, Microsoft, and other large companies. Since IETF
2184: is an open forum, they can blend in as the populace, and vote just
2185: like all others, except against the community.
2186: <p>
2187: Translation: In failing to "reach consensus", the companies who
2188: benefit from RAND won, and the community lost again.
2189: <p>
2190: Left with little choice, we proceeded to reinvent the wheel or, more
2191: correctly, abandon the wheel entirely and go for a "hovercraft". We
2192: designed CARP (Common Address Redundancy Protocol) to solve the same
2193: problem that these other protocols are designed for, but without the
2194: same technological basis as HSRP and VRRP. We read the patent
2195: document carefully and ensured that CARP was fundamentally different.
2196: We also avoided many of the flaws in HSRP and VRRP (such as an inherent
2197: lack of security). And since we are OpenBSD developers, we designed
2198: it to use cryptography.
2199: <p>
2200: The combination of
2201: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>,
2202: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>, and
2203: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=carp&sektion=4">carp(4)</a>
2204: has permitted us to build highly redundant firewalls. To date, we
2205: have built a few networks that include as many as 4 firewalls, all
2206: running random reboot cycles. As long as one firewall is alive in a
2207: group, traffic through them moves smoothly and correctly for all of
2208: our packet filter functionality. Cisco's low end products are unable
2209: to do this reliably, and if they have high end products which can do
2210: this, you most certainly cannot afford them.
2211: <p>
2212: As a final note of course, when we petitioned IANA, the IETF body
2213: regulating "official" internet protocol numbers, to give us numbers
2214: for CARP and pfsync our request was denied. Apparently we had failed
2215: to go through an official standards organization. Consequently we
2216: were forced to choose a protocol number which would not conflict with
2217: anything else of value, and decided to place CARP at IP protocol 112.
2218: We also placed pfsync at an open and unused number. We informed IANA of
2219: these decisions, but they declined to reply.
2220: <p>
2221: This ridiculous situation then inspired one of our developers to create
2222: this parody of the well-known Monty Python skit and song.

1.26 deraadt 2515: the Sheriff (an unelected leader) and other evil
1.20 deraadt 2516: forces of the draconian government!
2517: <p>
2518: <br>
2519: As we did for the 3.3 release, we have once again tried
2520: making release artwork and music which are allegorical
2521: of recent happenings.
2522: <p>
2523: Two years ago we became involved with the University
2524: of Pennsylvania and DARPA, who were funding us to do
2525: security research and development .. on things that
2526: we were already intending to do. We provided ideas,
2527: wrote papers, and deployed cutting-edge technology;
2528: DARPA provided finances and reaped a share of the
2529: credit, and the University of Pennsylvania acted as
2530: a middle-man. We accepted funding based on the
2531: promise that our freedom to operate as we wished
2532: was unaffected. To us, freedom is more important
1.21 deraadt 2533: than funding -- heck, we were dealing with the evil
1.20 deraadt 2534: forces of government, and needed to be careful.
2535: <p>
2536: A few months prior to this release, DARPA suddenly
2537: and without warning decided to withdraw that funding;
2538: they also aggressively backed out of contractual
2539: obligations. Many articles in the <a href=press.html>press</a> followed regarding
1.67 jolan 2540: this sudden maneuver. Apparently this hoopla happened
1.20 deraadt 2541: because an OpenBSD-related article in the Canadian
1.55 tom 2542: newspaper The Globe & Mail had quoted Theo de Raadt
1.20 deraadt 2543: making anti-war statements regarding Iraq and the
2544: theft of oil.
2545: <p>
2546: The only answer given (to major media reporters) by a
2547: DARPA spokesperson (Jan Walker) was this:
2548: <p>
2549: "As a result of the DARPA review of the
2550: project, and due to world events and the evolving
2551: threat posed by increasingly capable nation-states,
2552: the Government on April 21 advised the University
2553: to suspend work on the "security fest" portion of
2554: the project."
2555: <p>
2556: That almost toes the line of calling us terrorists!
2557: We had lost financial support, but the release of the
2558: statement above suddenly made us very happy to be free
2559: of any perceived obligation to such crazy people.
2560: <p>
2561: Since the termination came near natural contract
2562: termination (about 4 months remained), less damage
2563: than expected was sustained by the project. Sponsors
2564: stepped forward and helped us make up the missing funds
2565: we needed to run our "Hackathon", and the event
1.61 grunk 2566: proceeded as planned. We even had T-shirts made with
1.20 deraadt 2567: "Workstations of Mass Development" artwork for those
2568: developers who attended (sorry, they are not for sale).
2569: <p>
2570: We could not make stories like this up. So instead,
2571: we are making up an allegory about it, using the tale
2572: of Robin Hood.
