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.

394: <br>
395: BSD 4.2 was

826: Nearly 10 years ago Kirk McKusick wrote a history of
827: the Berkeley Unix distributions for the
1.121 deraadt 828: O'Reilly book "Open Sources: Voices from the Open Source Revolution".
1.104 deraadt 829: We recommend you read his story, entitled
830: <a href="http://oreilly.com/catalog/opensources/book/kirkmck.html">
831: "Twenty Years of Berkeley Unix
832: From AT&T-Owned to Freely Redistributable"</a>
833: first, to see how Kirk remembers how we got here.
834: Sadly, since it showed up in book form originally, this text has
835: probably not been read by enough people.
836: <br>
837: <br>
838: The USL(AT&T) vs BSDI/UCB court case settlement documents were
839: not public until recently; their disclosure has made the facts more clear.
840: But the story of how three people decided to free the BSD codebase
841: of corporate pollution -- and release it freely -- is more interesting
842: than the lawsuit which followed. Sure, a stupid lawsuit happened which
843: hindered the acceptance of the BSD code during a critical period.
844: But how did a bunch of guys go through the effort of replacing so
845: much AT&T code in the first place? After all, companies had
846: lots of really evil lawyers back then too -- were they not afraid?
847: <br>
848: <br>
849: After a decade of development, most of the AT&T code had
850: already been replaced by university researchers and their associates.
851: So Keith Bostic, Mike Karels and Kirk McKusick (the main UCB CSRG group)
852: started going through the 4.3BSD codebase to cleanse the rest.
853: Keith, in particular, built a ragtag team (in those days, USENIX
854: conferences were a gold mine for such team building) and led these
855: rebels to rewrite and replace all the Imperial AT&T code, piece by
856: piece, starting with the libraries and userland programs.
857: Anyone who helped only got credit as a Contributor -- people like
858: Chris Torek and a cast of .. hundreds more.
859: <br>
860: <br>
1.105 deraadt 861: Then Mike and Kirk purified the kernel. After a bit more careful
1.104 deraadt 862: checking, this led to the release of a clean tree called Net/2 which
863: was given to the world in June 1991 -- the largest dump of free source
864: code the world had ever received (for those days -- not modern monsters like OpenOffice).
865: <br>
866: <br>
867: Some of these ragtags formed a company (BSDi) to sell a production system
868: based on this free code base, and a year later Unix System Laboratories
869: (basically AT&T) sued BSDi and UCB.
870: Eventually AT&T lost and after a few trifling fixes (described in the
871: lawsuit documents) the codebase was free. A few newer developments
872: (and more free code) were added, and released in June 1994 as 4.4BSD-Lite.
873: Just over 14 years later OpenBSD is releasing its own 4.4 release (and for
874: a lot less than <a href=orders.html>$1000 per copy</a>).
875: <br>
876: <br>
877: The OpenBSD 4.4 release is dedicated to Keith Bostic, Mike Karels, Kirk McKusick,
878: and all of those who contributed to making Net/2 and 4.4BSD-Lite free.

1000: In 1998 when a United Airlines plane was waiting in the queue at
1.102 deraadt 1001: Washington Dulles International Airport for take-off to New Orleans
1002: (where a Usenix conference was taking place), one man stood up from
1003: his seat, demanded that they stop waiting in the queue and be permitted
1.95 deraadt 1004: to deplane. Even after orders from the crew and a pilot from
1005: the cockpit he refused to sit down. The plane exited the queue
1.96 deraadt 1006: and returned to the airport gangway. Security personnel ran onto
1.95 deraadt 1007: the plane and removed this man, Richard Stallman, from the plane.
1008: After Richard was removed from the plane, everyone else stayed
1009: onboard and continued their journey to New Orleans. A few
1010: OpenBSD developers were on that same plane, seated very closeby,
1011: so we have an accurate story of the events.
1012: <br>
1013: <br>
1014: This is the man who presumes that he should preach to us
1015: about morality, freedom, and what is best for us. He believes
1016: it is his God-given role to tell us what is best for us, when he
1017: has shown that he takes actions which are not best for everyone.
1018: He prefers actions which he thinks are best for him -- and him
1019: alone -- and then lies to the public. Richard Stallman is no Spock.
1020: <br>
1021: <br>
1022: We release our software in ways that are maximally free. We
1023: remove all restrictions on use and distribution, but leave a
1024: requirement to be known as the authors. We follow a pattern of
1025: free source code distribution that started in the mid-1980's
1026: in Berkeley, from before Richard Stallman had any powerful
1027: influence which he could use so falsely.
1028: <br>
1029: <br>
1030: We have a development sub-tree called "ports". Our "ports" tree
1031: builds software that is 'found on the net' into packages that
1032: OpenBSD users can use more easily. A scaffold of Makefiles and
1033: scripts automatically fetch these pieces of software, apply
1034: patches as required by OpenBSD, and then build them into nice
1035: neat little tarballs. This is provided as a convenience for
1.97 okan 1036: users. The ports tree is maintained by OpenBSD entirely separately
1.95 deraadt 1037: from our main source tree. Some of the software which is fetched
1038: and compiled is not as free as we would like, but what can we do.
1039: All the other operating system projects make exactly the same
1040: decision, and provide these same conveniences to their users.
1041: <br>
1042: <br>
1043: Richard felt that this "ports tree" of ours made OpenBSD non-free.
1044: He came to our mailing lists and lectured to us specifically, yet
1045: he said nothing to the many other vendors who do the same; many of
1046: them donate to the FSF and perhaps that has something to do with it.
1047: Meanwhile, Richard has personally made sure that all the official
1048: GNU software -- including Emacs -- compiles and runs on Windows.
1049: <br>
1050: <br>
1051: That man is a false leader. He is a hypocrite. There may be some
1052: people who listen to him. But we don't listen to people who do not
1053: follow their own stupid rules.

1153: Those of us who work on OpenBSD are often asked why we do what we do.
1.91 merdely 1154: This song's lyrics express the core motivations and goals which have
1.90 deraadt 1155: remained unchanged over the years - secure, free, reliable software,
1156: that can be shared with anyone. Many other projects purport to share
1157: these same goals, and love to wrap themselves in a banner of "Open
1158: Source" and "Free Software". Given how many projects there are one
1159: would think it might be easy to stick to those goals, but it doesn't
1160: seem to work out that way. A variety of desires drag many projects
1161: away from the ideals very quickly.
1162: <p>
1.93 jmc 1163: Much of any operating system's usability depends on device support,
1.91 merdely 1164: and there are some very tempting alternative ways to support devices
1.90 deraadt 1165: available to those who will surrender their moral code. A project
1166: could compromise by entering into NDA agreements with vendors, or
1167: including binary objects in the operating system for which no source
1168: code exists, or tying their users down with contract terms hidden
1169: inside copyright notices. All of these choices surrender some subset
1170: of the ideals, and we simply will not do this. Sure, we care about
1171: getting devices working, but not at the expense of our original goals.
1172: <p>
1173: Of course since "free to share with anyone" is part of our goals,
1174: we've been at the forefront of many licensing and NDA issues,
1.91 merdely 1175: resulting in a good number of successes. This success had led to much
1.90 deraadt 1176: recognition for the advancement of Free Software causes, but has also
1177: led to other issues.
1178: <p>
1179: We fully admit that some BSD licensed software has been taken and used
1180: by many commercial entities, but contributions come back more often
1181: than people seem to know, and when they do, they're always still
1182: properly attributed to the original authors, and given back in the
1183: same spirit that they were given in the first place.
1184: <p>
1185: That's the best we can expect from companies. After all, we make our
1186: stuff so free so that everyone can benefit -- it remains a core goal;
1187: we really have not strayed at all in 10 years. But we can expect more
1188: from projects who talk about sharing -- such as the various Linux
1189: projects.
1190: <p>
1191: Now rather than seeing us as friends who can cooperatively improve all
1192: codebases, we are seen as foes who oppose the GPL. The participants
1193: of "the race" are being manipulated by the FSF and their legal arm, the
1194: SFLC, for the FSF's aims, rather than the goal of getting good source
1195: into Linux (and all other code bases). We don't want this to come off
1196: as some conspiracy theory, but we simply urge those developers caution
1197: -- they should ensure that the path they are being shown by those who
1198: have positioned themselves as leaders is still true. Run for yourself,
1199: not for their agenda.
1200: <p>
1201: The Race is there to be run, for ourselves, not for others. We do
1202: what we do to run our own race, and finish it the best we can. We
1203: don't rush off at every distraction, or worry how this will affect our
1204: image. We are here to have fun doing right.

1307: As developers of a free operating system, one of our prime responsibilities
1308: is device support. No matter how nice an operating system is, it remains
1309: useless and unusable without solid support for a wide percentage of the
1310: hardware that is available on the market. It is therefore rather unsurprising
1311: that more than half of our efforts focus on various aspects relating to
1312: device support.
1313: <p>
1.85 mbalmer 1314: Most parts of the operating system (from low kernel, through to libraries,
1.81 deraadt 1315: all the way up to X, and then even to applications) use fairly obvious
1316: interface layers, where the "communication protocols" or "argument passing"
1317: mechanisms (ie. APIs) can be understood by any developer who takes the
1318: time to read the free code. Device drivers pose an additional and significant
1319: challenge though: because many vendors refuse to document the exact behavior
1320: of their devices. The devices are black boxes. And often they are surprisingly
1321: weird, or even buggy.
1322: <p>
1323: When vendor documentation does not exist, the development process can
1324: become extremely hairy. Groups of developers have found themselves focused
1325: for months at a time, figuring out the most simple steps, simply because
1326: the hardware is a complete mystery. Access to documentation can ease
1327: these difficulties rapidly. However, getting access to the chip documentation
1328: from vendors is ... almost always a negotiation. If we had open access to
1.84 matthieu 1329: documentation, anyone would be able to see how simple all these devices
1.81 deraadt 1330: actually are, and device driver development would flourish (and not just in
1331: OpenBSD, either).
1332: <p>
1333: When we proceed into negotiations with vendors, asking for documentation,
1334: our position is often weak. One would assume that the modern market is fair,
1335: and that selling chips would be the primary focus of these vendors. But
1336: unfortunately a number of behemoth software vendors have spent the last 10 or
1337: 20 years building

1340: <p>
1.82 jsg 1341: A particularly nasty player in this regard has been the Linux vendors and
1.87 tom 1342: some Linux developers, who have played along with an American corporate model
1.81 deraadt 1343: of requiring NDAs for chip documentation. This has effectively put Linux
1344: into the club with Microsoft, but has left all the other operating system

1372: Load one ass, take a few trips and spend<br>
1373: in moderation<br>
1374: Three things the average man can't - get - right<br>
1375: <br>
1376: <br>
1377: If you know your brother is a greedy bastard<br>
1378: never give him the password<br>
1379: If he goes penguin on you,<br>
1380: stop - being - his brother.<br>
1381: When a cave is guarded by magic lawyers<br>
1.86 tom 1382: A sea of blood will be its doormat<br>
1.81 deraadt 1383: So do the best with what you have<br>
1384: <br>
1385: <br>
1386: Beyond the lessons - you must know this<br>
1387: that the Devil is as real as your address<br>
1388: But unlike Vendors,<br>
1389: he at least keeps the door open<br>
1390: <br>
1391: <br>
1392: Vendors of water that should be free<br>
1393: Look upon their words and despair<br>
1394: Their badvertising made a thief of my brother<br>
1395: then made him better off dead<br>
1396: Now he hasn't got shit to do his best with<br>
1397: <br>
1398: <br>
1399: Gratis. Free. Libre. Cuffo.<br>
1400: The companies of thieves stole every good adjective<br>
1401: and left us with open source (sores)<br>
1402: sharing smaller and smaller bandages<br>
1403: for each consecutive cut<br>
1404: But with the salty water of labour<br>
1405: parched desert becomes pregnant black soil<br>
1406: <br>
1407: <br>
1408: It's not whether you're well off<br>
1409: it's where you dig the well<br>
1410: The best the little guy can do is what<br>
1411: the little guy does right<br>

1702: OpenBSD emphasizes security. It also emphasizes openness. All the code
1703: is there for all to see. Blobs are vendor-compiled binary drivers
1704: without any source code. Hardware makers like them because they
1705: obscure the details of how to make their hardware work. They hide bugs
1706: and workarounds for bugs. Newer versions of blobs can weaken support
1707: for older hardware and motivate people to buy new hardware.<br>

1711: cheerfully incorporate them; in fact their users demand them.<br>
1712: <br>
1713: <br>
1714: But when you need to trust the system, how do you check the blob for
1715: quality? For adherence to standards? How do you know the blob contains
1716: no malicious code? No incompetent code? Inspection is impossible; you
1717: can only test the black box. And when it breaks, you have no idea why.<br>
1718: <br>
1719: <br>
1720: <ul>
1721: <li>Blobs can be 'de-supported' by vendors<br>

1743: vendors to release documentation, and often reverse-engineers around
1744: the need for blobs. OpenBSD remains blob-free. Anyone can look at it,
1745: assess it, improve it. If it breaks, it can be fixed.

1886: For a multitude of (stupid) reasons, vendors often attempt to lock
1887: out our participation with their customers by refusing to give our
1888: programmers sufficient documentation so that we can properly support
1889: their devices.
1890: <p>
1891: Take Adaptec for instance. Before the 3.7 release we disabled support
1892: for the
1.70 steven 1893: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=aac&sektion=4">aac(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 1894: Adaptec RAID driver because negotiations with the Adaptec had failed.
1895: They refused to give us documentation. Without documentation, support
1896: for their controller had always been poor. The driver had bugs (which
1897: affected some users more than others) which caused crashes, and of
1898: course there was no RAID management support. Apparently most of these
1.59 jolan 1899: bugs are because the Adaptec controllers have numerous buggy firmware
1900: issues which require careful workarounds; without documentation we
1901: cannot solve these issues.
1.58 deraadt 1902: <p>
1903: The driver was written by an OpenBSD developer, who cribbed parts
1904: of it from a FreeBSD driver written by an ex-Adaptec employee. But no
1905: public documentation exists, and Adaptec has dozens of cards with
1906: different firmware issues. All of this adds up to a very desperate
1907: development model -- it becomes very hard for the principle of
1908: "quality" to show its head.
1909: <p>
1910: RAID devices have two main qualities that people buy them for:
1911: <br>
1912: <ul>
1.60 pvalchev 1913: <li>Redundancy
1.58 deraadt 1914: <li>Repair
1915: </ul>
1916: You want a RAID unit to provide you with redundancy, so that if some drives
1.60 pvalchev 1917: fail, your data is not lost. But once a drive has failed, you require your
1918: array to (automatically, most likely) perform the operations to repair
1.58 deraadt 1919: itself, so that it is functioning perfectly again.
1920: <p>
1921: Some vendors (or like the above Adaptec case, ex-employee) have
1922: sometimes given us some documentation so that we could write drivers,
1923: so that their devices could support Redundancy. But these vendors have
1924: never given us any documentation for performing Repairs.
1925: <p>
1926: Instead these vendors have tried to pass out non-free RAID management
1927: tools. These are typically gigantic Linux binaries, or some crazy thing, that
1.67 jolan 1928: is supposed to work through a bizarre interface in the device driver, which
1.58 deraadt 1929: we are apparently supposed to write code for without any documentation.
1930: <p>
1931: And since we refuse to accept our users being forced into depending on
1932: vendor binaries, we have reverse engineered the management interface for
1933: the AMI controllers.
1934: <p>
1935: There is no great "intellectual property" in this stuff, it is all
1936: rather simple primitives. This is all that we need to implement
1937: basic RAID management:
1938: <ul>
1939: <li>SCSI transactions on the back-side busses
1940: <li>Discovering which drives are in which volumes
1941: <li>Being able to silence the buzzer
1942: <li>Marking a new drive as a Hot-Spare
1943: </ul>
1944: <p>
1945: The AMI driver needed to support these small primitive operations.
1946: And once we had that, we rely on something else which we know: Almost
1947: all the RAID controllers would need the same primitives.
1948: <p>
1949: Thus armed, we were able to write a generic framework which would later
1950: work on other vendors' RAID cards, that is, once we get documentation
1951: or do some reverse engineering for their products.
1952: <p>
1.60 pvalchev 1953: But having been ignored for so long by these vendors, it is not clear when (if
1954: ever) we will get around to writing that support for Adaptec RAID
1.58 deraadt 1955: controllers now. And Adaptec has gone and bought ICP Vortex, which
1956: may mean we can never get documentation for the
1.70 steven 1957: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=gdt&sektion=4">gdt(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 1958: controllers.
1959: The "Open Source Friendly liar" IBM owns Mylex, and Mylex has told us we
1960: would not get documentation, either.
1961: 3Ware has lied to us and our users so many times they make politicians
1962: look saintly.
1963: <p>
1964: Until other vendors give us documentation, if you want reliable RAID
1965: in OpenBSD, please buy
1966: <a href="http://www.lsilogic.com/products/megaraid/index.html">LSI/AMI</a>

2064: For an operating system to get anywhere in "the market" it must have
2065: good device support.<br>
2066: <br>
2067: Ethernet was our first concern. Many vendors refused to supply
2068: programmers with programming documentation for these chipsets. Donald
2069: Becker (Linux) and Bill Paul (FreeBSD) changed the rules of the game
2070: here: They wrote drivers for the chipsets that they could get
2071: documentation for, and as they succeeded in writing more and more
2072: drivers, eventually closed vendors slowly opened up until most
2073: ethernet chipset documentation was available. Today, some vendors
2074: still resist releasing ethernet chipset documentation (ie. Broadcom,
1.62 brad 2075: Intel, Marvell/SysKonnect, NVIDIA) but the driver problem is mostly
1.46 henning 2076: solved in the ethernet market.<br>
1.44 deraadt 2077: <br>
2078: Similar problems have happened in the SCSI, IDE, and RAID markets.
2079: Again, the problem was solved by writing drivers for documented
2080: devices first. If the free software user communities use those drivers
2081: preferentially, it is a market loss for the secretive vendors.
2082: Another approach that has worked is to publish email addresses and
2083: phone numbers for the marketing department managers in these
2084: companies. These email campaigns have worked almost every time.<br>
2085: <br>
2086: The new frontier: 802.11 wireless chipsets.<br>
2087: <br>
2088: Over the last six months, this came to a head in the OpenBSD project.
2089: We asked our users to help us petition numerous vendors so that we
2090: could get chipset documentation or redistributable firmware. Certainly, we did
1.52 deraadt 2091: not succeed for some vendors. But we did influence some vendors, in
1.44 deraadt 2092: particular the Taiwanese (Ralink and Realtek), who have given us
2093: everything we need. We also reverse engineered the Atheros chipsets.<br>
2094: <br>
2095:
2096: Want to help us? Avoid
2097: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ipw">Intel Centrino</a>,
2098: Broadcom, TI, or Connexant PrismGT chipsets.
2099: Heck, avoid buying even regular

1.44 deraadt 2101: to send a message.
1.48 deraadt 2102: If you can, buy 802.11 products using chips by

2107: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ath">Atheros</a>.

1.44 deraadt 2110: <br>

2112: Send a message that open support for hardware matters. A vendor in
1.56 cloder 2113: Redmond largely continues their practices because they get
1.44 deraadt 2114: the chipset documentation years before everyone else does.
2115: What really upsets us the most is that some Linux vendors are signing
2116: Non-Disclosure Agreements with vendors, or contracts that let them

2235: have made this Free-to-Non-Free transition with their
2236: offerings in the last few years:
2237: <ul>
2238: <li>David Dawes worked for years with a team of
2239: developers to make a free X11 distribution for us to use,
2240: called XFree86, 98% of which was based on entirely free
2241: code from MIT. Suddenly, one day, he decided that
2242: we must give him more credit (ie. advertise his name) or
2243: stop using it. Within about 4 months every project had
2244: told him to get stuffed, and the community has created a
2245: replacement effort.
1.41 deraadt 2246: Now his team cannot even keep their web pages up to date...
1.37 deraadt 2247: <p>
2248: <li>OpenBSD was the first operating system to integrate a
2249: packet filter, and it was the ipf codebase from Darren Reed
2250: that we chose. But a few years later he told us that we
2251: were not free to make changes to the code. So we deleted ipf,
2252: and our new packet filter far exceeds the capabilities of the
2253: one he wrote. And other projects are switching too...
2254: <p>
2255: <li>The Apache group started from the humble beginnings
2256: of just being 'a patchy' set of changes to a completely free
2257: web server of dubious quality. But the years have changed them,
2258: and what they supply is now quite non-free... released under
1.40 jolan 2259: a license so entangled in legalese that we have absolutely no
1.51 jcs 2260: doubt that there are encumbrances hidden within. Legal terms
1.37 deraadt 2261: protect. Who are they protecting? Not your freedom.
2262: </ul>
2263: So here's a goodbye to those three groups, and a warning to any
2264: others who will follow them:
2265: Make your stuff non-free, and something else will
2266: replace it.

2390: A common theme used by the comedy crew Monty Python was to emphasize
2391: and exaggerate ridiculousnesses that their target had imposed upon
2392: themselves. Few things could be considered as humorous as making a
2393: redundancy protocol... redundant; e.g. being forced to replace it by
2394: Cisco lawyers and IETF policy.
2395: <p>
2396: We've been working a few years now on our packet filtering software
2397: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>
2398: and it became time to add failover. We want to be able to set up pf
2399: firewalls side by side, and exchange the stateful information between
2400: them, so that in case of failure another could take over 'keep state'
2401: sessions. Our
2402: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>
2403: protocol solves this problem. However, on both sides of the firewall,
2404: it is also necessary to have all the regular hosts not see a
2405: network failure. The only reliable way to do this is for both
2406: firewall machines to have and use the same IP and MAC addresses. But
2407: the only real way to do that is to use multicast protocols.
2408: <p>
2409: The IETF community proposed work in this direction in the late
2410: 90's, however in 1997 Cisco informed them that they believed some of
2411: Cisco's patents covered the proposed IETF VRRP (Virtual Router
2412: Redundancy Protocol); on
2413: <a href="http://www.ietf.org/ietf/IPR/VRRP-CISCO">
2414: March 20, 1998 they went further and specifically named their HSRP
2415: "Hot Standby Router Protocol" patent</a>. Reputedly, they were upset
2416: that IETF had not simply adopted the flawed HSRP protocol as the
2417: standard solution for this problem. Despite this legal pressure, the
2418: IETF community forged ahead and published VRRP as a standard even
2419: though there was a patent in the space. Why?
1.122 deraadt 2420: <a href="http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/doc/ietf/vrrp/vrrp-minutes-97dec.txt">
1.30 deraadt 2421: There was much deliberation</a>
2422: at all levels of the IETF, and unfortunately for all of us the
2423: politicians within eventually decided to allow patented technology in
2424: standards -- as long as the patented technology is licensed under RAND
2425: (Reasonable And Non Discriminatory) terms. As free software
2426: programmers, we therefore find ourselves in the position that these
2427: RAND standards must not be implemented by us, and we must deviate from
2428: the standard. We find all this rather Unreasonable and Discriminatory
2429: and we *will* design competing protocols. Some standards organization,
2430: eh?
2431: <p>
2432: Due to some HSRP flaws fixed by VRRP and for compatibility with the
2433: (HSRP-licensed) VRRP implementations of their competitors, Cisco in
2434: recent times has largely abandoned HSRP and now relies on VRRP instead
2435: -- a protocol designed for and by the community, but for which they
2436: claim patent rights.
2437: <p>
2438: On August 7 2002, after many communications, Robert Barr (Cisco's
2439: lawyer) firmly informed the OpenBSD community that Cisco would defend
2440: its patents for VRRP implementations -- meaning basically that it was
2441: impossible for a free software group to produce a truly free
2442: implementation of the IETF standard protocol. Perhaps this is because
2443: Cisco and Alcatel are currently engaged in a pair of patent lawsuits; a
2444: small piece of which is Cisco attempting to use the HSRP patent
2445: against Alcatel for their use of VRRP. Some IETF working group
2446: members took note of our complaints,
1.122 deraadt 2447: <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20061109082106/http://lists.microshaft.org/pipermail/dmca_discuss/2003-April/004702.html">
1.30 deraadt 2448: however an attempt in April 2003 to have the IETF abandon the use of
2449: patented technology failed to "reach consensus" in the IETF</a>.
2450: <p>
2451: A few years ago, the W3C, who designs our web protocols, tried to move
2452: to a RAND policy as well (primarily because of pressure from Microsoft
2453: and Apple), but the community outrage was so overpowering that they
2454: backed down. Some standards groups use this policy, while others
2455: avoid it -- the one differentiation being the amount of corporate
1.55 tom 2456: participation. In the IETF, the pro-RAND agents work for AT&T,
1.30 deraadt 2457: Alcatel, IBM, Cisco, Microsoft, and other large companies. Since IETF
2458: is an open forum, they can blend in as the populace, and vote just
2459: like all others, except against the community.
2460: <p>
2461: Translation: In failing to "reach consensus", the companies who
2462: benefit from RAND won, and the community lost again.
2463: <p>
2464: Left with little choice, we proceeded to reinvent the wheel or, more
2465: correctly, abandon the wheel entirely and go for a "hovercraft". We
2466: designed CARP (Common Address Redundancy Protocol) to solve the same
2467: problem that these other protocols are designed for, but without the
2468: same technological basis as HSRP and VRRP. We read the patent
2469: document carefully and ensured that CARP was fundamentally different.
2470: We also avoided many of the flaws in HSRP and VRRP (such as an inherent
2471: lack of security). And since we are OpenBSD developers, we designed
2472: it to use cryptography.
2473: <p>
2474: The combination of
2475: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>,
2476: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>, and
2477: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=carp&sektion=4">carp(4)</a>
2478: has permitted us to build highly redundant firewalls. To date, we
2479: have built a few networks that include as many as 4 firewalls, all
2480: running random reboot cycles. As long as one firewall is alive in a
2481: group, traffic through them moves smoothly and correctly for all of
2482: our packet filter functionality. Cisco's low end products are unable
2483: to do this reliably, and if they have high end products which can do
2484: this, you most certainly cannot afford them.
2485: <p>
2486: As a final note of course, when we petitioned IANA, the IETF body
2487: regulating "official" internet protocol numbers, to give us numbers
2488: for CARP and pfsync our request was denied. Apparently we had failed
2489: to go through an official standards organization. Consequently we
2490: were forced to choose a protocol number which would not conflict with
2491: anything else of value, and decided to place CARP at IP protocol 112.
2492: We also placed pfsync at an open and unused number. We informed IANA of
2493: these decisions, but they declined to reply.
2494: <p>
2495: This ridiculous situation then inspired one of our developers to create
2496: this parody of the well-known Monty Python skit and song.

2787: Join Puffy Hood and his Funny Fish as they take on
1.26 deraadt 2788: the Sheriff (an unelected leader) and other evil
1.20 deraadt 2789: forces of the draconian government!
2790: <p>
2791: <br>
2792: As we did for the 3.3 release, we have once again tried
2793: making release artwork and music which are allegorical
2794: of recent happenings.
2795: <p>
2796: Two years ago we became involved with the University
2797: of Pennsylvania and DARPA, who were funding us to do
2798: security research and development .. on things that
2799: we were already intending to do. We provided ideas,
2800: wrote papers, and deployed cutting-edge technology;
2801: DARPA provided finances and reaped a share of the
2802: credit, and the University of Pennsylvania acted as
2803: a middle-man. We accepted funding based on the
2804: promise that our freedom to operate as we wished
2805: was unaffected. To us, freedom is more important
1.21 deraadt 2806: than funding -- heck, we were dealing with the evil
1.20 deraadt 2807: forces of government, and needed to be careful.
2808: <p>
2809: A few months prior to this release, DARPA suddenly
2810: and without warning decided to withdraw that funding;
2811: they also aggressively backed out of contractual
2812: obligations. Many articles in the <a href=press.html>press</a> followed regarding
1.67 jolan 2813: this sudden maneuver. Apparently this hoopla happened
1.20 deraadt 2814: because an OpenBSD-related article in the Canadian
1.55 tom 2815: newspaper The Globe & Mail had quoted Theo de Raadt
1.20 deraadt 2816: making anti-war statements regarding Iraq and the
2817: theft of oil.
2818: <p>
2819: The only answer given (to major media reporters) by a
2820: DARPA spokesperson (Jan Walker) was this:
2821: <p>
2822: "As a result of the DARPA review of the
2823: project, and due to world events and the evolving
2824: threat posed by increasingly capable nation-states,
2825: the Government on April 21 advised the University
2826: to suspend work on the "security fest" portion of
2827: the project."
2828: <p>
2829: That almost toes the line of calling us terrorists!
2830: We had lost financial support, but the release of the
2831: statement above suddenly made us very happy to be free
2832: of any perceived obligation to such crazy people.
2833: <p>
2834: Since the termination came near natural contract
2835: termination (about 4 months remained), less damage
2836: than expected was sustained by the project. Sponsors
2837: stepped forward and helped us make up the missing funds
2838: we needed to run our "Hackathon", and the event
1.61 grunk 2839: proceeded as planned. We even had T-shirts made with
1.20 deraadt 2840: "Workstations of Mass Development" artwork for those
2841: developers who attended (sorry, they are not for sale).
2842: <p>
2843: We could not make stories like this up. So instead,
2844: we are making up an allegory about it, using the tale
2845: of Robin Hood.
