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.

446: This release is OpenBSD 4.9. Then why is
447: the song about 4.2? Huh?<br>
448: <br>
449: The <a href="#44">OpenBSD 4.4 release artwork</a> honoured
450: the (Berkeley) CSRG guys for their efforts with the BSD 4.4
451: release -- they fought and managed to free the code.<br>
452: <br>
453: This release the artwork is based on the stories of Douglas Adams,
454: including his favorite number -- 42. Therefore we can remember
455: the previous major achievement of CSRG - BSD 4.2.<br>
456: <br>
457: BSD 4.2 was
458: not free, but it created and integrated so many new
459: technologies that we all depend on today. Take a moment
460: to consider how many things first available in BSD 4.2 you are using
461: at this moment, to read this page -- sockets, AF_INET,
462: virtual memory, etc.<br>
463: <br>
464: Today, new releases of operating systems from well-known vendors
465: contain less new features than BSD 4.2 did.<br>
466: <br>
467: If only we could stop slacking and make a release like that!

888: Nearly 10 years ago Kirk McKusick wrote a history of
889: the Berkeley Unix distributions for the
1.121 deraadt 890: O'Reilly book "Open Sources: Voices from the Open Source Revolution".
1.104 deraadt 891: We recommend you read his story, entitled
892: <a href="http://oreilly.com/catalog/opensources/book/kirkmck.html">
893: "Twenty Years of Berkeley Unix
894: From AT&T-Owned to Freely Redistributable"</a>
895: first, to see how Kirk remembers how we got here.
896: Sadly, since it showed up in book form originally, this text has
897: probably not been read by enough people.
898: <br>
899: <br>
900: The USL(AT&T) vs BSDI/UCB court case settlement documents were
901: not public until recently; their disclosure has made the facts more clear.
902: But the story of how three people decided to free the BSD codebase
903: of corporate pollution -- and release it freely -- is more interesting
904: than the lawsuit which followed. Sure, a stupid lawsuit happened which
905: hindered the acceptance of the BSD code during a critical period.
906: But how did a bunch of guys go through the effort of replacing so
907: much AT&T code in the first place? After all, companies had
908: lots of really evil lawyers back then too -- were they not afraid?
909: <br>
910: <br>
911: After a decade of development, most of the AT&T code had
912: already been replaced by university researchers and their associates.
913: So Keith Bostic, Mike Karels and Kirk McKusick (the main UCB CSRG group)
914: started going through the 4.3BSD codebase to cleanse the rest.
915: Keith, in particular, built a ragtag team (in those days, USENIX
916: conferences were a gold mine for such team building) and led these
917: rebels to rewrite and replace all the Imperial AT&T code, piece by

1.105 deraadt 923: Then Mike and Kirk purified the kernel. After a bit more careful
1.104 deraadt 924: checking, this led to the release of a clean tree called Net/2 which
925: was given to the world in June 1991 -- the largest dump of free source
926: code the world had ever received (for those days -- not modern monsters like OpenOffice).
927: <br>
928: <br>
929: Some of these ragtags formed a company (BSDi) to sell a production system
930: based on this free code base, and a year later Unix System Laboratories
931: (basically AT&T) sued BSDi and UCB.
932: Eventually AT&T lost and after a few trifling fixes (described in the
933: lawsuit documents) the codebase was free. A few newer developments
934: (and more free code) were added, and released in June 1994 as 4.4BSD-Lite.
935: Just over 14 years later OpenBSD is releasing its own 4.4 release (and for
936: a lot less than <a href=orders.html>$1000 per copy</a>).
937: <br>
938: <br>
939: The OpenBSD 4.4 release is dedicated to Keith Bostic, Mike Karels, Kirk McKusick,
940: and all of those who contributed to making Net/2 and 4.4BSD-Lite free.

1062: In 1998 when a United Airlines plane was waiting in the queue at
1.102 deraadt 1063: Washington Dulles International Airport for take-off to New Orleans
1064: (where a Usenix conference was taking place), one man stood up from
1065: his seat, demanded that they stop waiting in the queue and be permitted
1.95 deraadt 1066: to deplane. Even after orders from the crew and a pilot from
1067: the cockpit he refused to sit down. The plane exited the queue
1.96 deraadt 1068: and returned to the airport gangway. Security personnel ran onto
1.95 deraadt 1069: the plane and removed this man, Richard Stallman, from the plane.
1070: After Richard was removed from the plane, everyone else stayed
1071: onboard and continued their journey to New Orleans. A few
1072: OpenBSD developers were on that same plane, seated very closeby,
1073: so we have an accurate story of the events.
1074: <br>
1075: <br>
1076: This is the man who presumes that he should preach to us
1077: about morality, freedom, and what is best for us. He believes
1078: it is his God-given role to tell us what is best for us, when he
1079: has shown that he takes actions which are not best for everyone.
1080: He prefers actions which he thinks are best for him -- and him
1081: alone -- and then lies to the public. Richard Stallman is no Spock.
1082: <br>
1083: <br>
1084: We release our software in ways that are maximally free. We
1085: remove all restrictions on use and distribution, but leave a
1086: requirement to be known as the authors. We follow a pattern of
1087: free source code distribution that started in the mid-1980's
1088: in Berkeley, from before Richard Stallman had any powerful
1089: influence which he could use so falsely.
1090: <br>
1091: <br>
1092: We have a development sub-tree called "ports". Our "ports" tree
1093: builds software that is 'found on the net' into packages that
1094: OpenBSD users can use more easily. A scaffold of Makefiles and
1095: scripts automatically fetch these pieces of software, apply
1096: patches as required by OpenBSD, and then build them into nice
1097: neat little tarballs. This is provided as a convenience for
1.97 okan 1098: users. The ports tree is maintained by OpenBSD entirely separately
1.95 deraadt 1099: from our main source tree. Some of the software which is fetched
1100: and compiled is not as free as we would like, but what can we do.
1101: All the other operating system projects make exactly the same
1102: decision, and provide these same conveniences to their users.
1103: <br>
1104: <br>
1105: Richard felt that this "ports tree" of ours made OpenBSD non-free.
1106: He came to our mailing lists and lectured to us specifically, yet
1107: he said nothing to the many other vendors who do the same; many of
1108: them donate to the FSF and perhaps that has something to do with it.
1109: Meanwhile, Richard has personally made sure that all the official
1110: GNU software -- including Emacs -- compiles and runs on Windows.
1111: <br>
1112: <br>
1113: That man is a false leader. He is a hypocrite. There may be some
1114: people who listen to him. But we don't listen to people who do not
1115: follow their own stupid rules.

1215: Those of us who work on OpenBSD are often asked why we do what we do.
1.91 merdely 1216: This song's lyrics express the core motivations and goals which have
1.90 deraadt 1217: remained unchanged over the years - secure, free, reliable software,
1218: that can be shared with anyone. Many other projects purport to share
1219: these same goals, and love to wrap themselves in a banner of "Open
1220: Source" and "Free Software". Given how many projects there are one
1221: would think it might be easy to stick to those goals, but it doesn't
1222: seem to work out that way. A variety of desires drag many projects
1223: away from the ideals very quickly.
1224: <p>
1.93 jmc 1225: Much of any operating system's usability depends on device support,
1.91 merdely 1226: and there are some very tempting alternative ways to support devices
1.90 deraadt 1227: available to those who will surrender their moral code. A project
1228: could compromise by entering into NDA agreements with vendors, or
1229: including binary objects in the operating system for which no source
1230: code exists, or tying their users down with contract terms hidden
1231: inside copyright notices. All of these choices surrender some subset
1232: of the ideals, and we simply will not do this. Sure, we care about
1233: getting devices working, but not at the expense of our original goals.
1234: <p>
1235: Of course since "free to share with anyone" is part of our goals,
1236: we've been at the forefront of many licensing and NDA issues,
1.91 merdely 1237: resulting in a good number of successes. This success had led to much
1.90 deraadt 1238: recognition for the advancement of Free Software causes, but has also
1239: led to other issues.
1240: <p>
1241: We fully admit that some BSD licensed software has been taken and used
1242: by many commercial entities, but contributions come back more often
1243: than people seem to know, and when they do, they're always still
1244: properly attributed to the original authors, and given back in the
1245: same spirit that they were given in the first place.
1246: <p>
1247: That's the best we can expect from companies. After all, we make our
1248: stuff so free so that everyone can benefit -- it remains a core goal;
1249: we really have not strayed at all in 10 years. But we can expect more
1250: from projects who talk about sharing -- such as the various Linux
1251: projects.
1252: <p>
1253: Now rather than seeing us as friends who can cooperatively improve all
1254: codebases, we are seen as foes who oppose the GPL. The participants
1255: of "the race" are being manipulated by the FSF and their legal arm, the
1256: SFLC, for the FSF's aims, rather than the goal of getting good source
1257: into Linux (and all other code bases). We don't want this to come off
1258: as some conspiracy theory, but we simply urge those developers caution
1259: -- they should ensure that the path they are being shown by those who
1260: have positioned themselves as leaders is still true. Run for yourself,
1261: not for their agenda.
1262: <p>
1263: The Race is there to be run, for ourselves, not for others. We do
1264: what we do to run our own race, and finish it the best we can. We
1265: don't rush off at every distraction, or worry how this will affect our
1266: image. We are here to have fun doing right.

1369: As developers of a free operating system, one of our prime responsibilities
1370: is device support. No matter how nice an operating system is, it remains
1371: useless and unusable without solid support for a wide percentage of the
1372: hardware that is available on the market. It is therefore rather unsurprising
1373: that more than half of our efforts focus on various aspects relating to
1374: device support.
1375: <p>
1.85 mbalmer 1376: Most parts of the operating system (from low kernel, through to libraries,
1.81 deraadt 1377: all the way up to X, and then even to applications) use fairly obvious
1378: interface layers, where the "communication protocols" or "argument passing"
1379: mechanisms (ie. APIs) can be understood by any developer who takes the
1380: time to read the free code. Device drivers pose an additional and significant
1381: challenge though: because many vendors refuse to document the exact behavior
1382: of their devices. The devices are black boxes. And often they are surprisingly
1383: weird, or even buggy.
1384: <p>
1385: When vendor documentation does not exist, the development process can
1386: become extremely hairy. Groups of developers have found themselves focused
1387: for months at a time, figuring out the most simple steps, simply because
1388: the hardware is a complete mystery. Access to documentation can ease
1389: these difficulties rapidly. However, getting access to the chip documentation
1390: from vendors is ... almost always a negotiation. If we had open access to
1.84 matthieu 1391: documentation, anyone would be able to see how simple all these devices
1.81 deraadt 1392: actually are, and device driver development would flourish (and not just in
1393: OpenBSD, either).
1394: <p>
1395: When we proceed into negotiations with vendors, asking for documentation,
1396: our position is often weak. One would assume that the modern market is fair,
1397: and that selling chips would be the primary focus of these vendors. But
1398: unfortunately a number of behemoth software vendors have spent the last 10 or
1399: 20 years building

1.81 deraadt 1401: political hurdles against the smaller players</a>.
1402: <p>
1.82 jsg 1403: A particularly nasty player in this regard has been the Linux vendors and
1.87 tom 1404: some Linux developers, who have played along with an American corporate model
1.81 deraadt 1405: of requiring NDAs for chip documentation. This has effectively put Linux
1406: into the club with Microsoft, but has left all the other operating system
1407: communities -- and their developers -- with much less available clout for
1408: requesting documentation. In a more fair world, the Linux vendors would
1409: work with us, and the device driver support in all free operating systems
1410: would be fantastic by now.

1421: <br>
1422: <br>
1423: Puffy Baba and the 40 Vendors<br>
1424: We all know the details<br>
1425: Magic cave, magic words, some thieves,<br>
1426: some serious loot,<br>
1427: and lucky - Mister - Baba<br>
1428: Who got a bad rap if you ask me<br>
1429: The little guy who<br>
1430: did the best with what he had<br>
1431: <br>
1432: <br>
1433: Here are Mr. Baba's lessons<br>
1434: Load one ass, take a few trips and spend<br>
1435: in moderation<br>
1436: Three things the average man can't - get - right<br>
1437: <br>
1438: <br>
1439: If you know your brother is a greedy bastard<br>
1440: never give him the password<br>
1441: If he goes penguin on you,<br>
1442: stop - being - his brother.<br>
1443: When a cave is guarded by magic lawyers<br>

1.81 deraadt 1445: So do the best with what you have<br>
1446: <br>
1447: <br>
1448: Beyond the lessons - you must know this<br>
1449: that the Devil is as real as your address<br>
1450: But unlike Vendors,<br>
1451: he at least keeps the door open<br>
1452: <br>
1453: <br>
1454: Vendors of water that should be free<br>
1455: Look upon their words and despair<br>

1457: then made him better off dead<br>
1458: Now he hasn't got shit to do his best with<br>
1459: <br>
1460: <br>
1461: Gratis. Free. Libre. Cuffo.<br>
1462: The companies of thieves stole every good adjective<br>
1463: and left us with open source (sores)<br>
1464: sharing smaller and smaller bandages<br>
1465: for each consecutive cut<br>
1466: But with the salty water of labour<br>
1467: parched desert becomes pregnant black soil<br>

1802: This release, like every OpenBSD release, contains OpenBSD and its
1803: source code. It runs on a wide variety of hardware. It contains many
1804: new features and improvements. OpenBSD does attempt to convince
1805: vendors to release documentation, and often reverse-engineers around
1806: the need for blobs. OpenBSD remains blob-free. Anyone can look at it,
1807: assess it, improve it. If it breaks, it can be fixed.

1948: For a multitude of (stupid) reasons, vendors often attempt to lock
1949: out our participation with their customers by refusing to give our
1950: programmers sufficient documentation so that we can properly support
1951: their devices.
1952: <p>
1953: Take Adaptec for instance. Before the 3.7 release we disabled support
1954: for the
1.70 steven 1955: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=aac&sektion=4">aac(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 1956: Adaptec RAID driver because negotiations with the Adaptec had failed.
1957: They refused to give us documentation. Without documentation, support
1958: for their controller had always been poor. The driver had bugs (which
1959: affected some users more than others) which caused crashes, and of
1960: course there was no RAID management support. Apparently most of these
1.59 jolan 1961: bugs are because the Adaptec controllers have numerous buggy firmware
1962: issues which require careful workarounds; without documentation we
1963: cannot solve these issues.
1.58 deraadt 1964: <p>
1965: The driver was written by an OpenBSD developer, who cribbed parts
1966: of it from a FreeBSD driver written by an ex-Adaptec employee. But no
1967: public documentation exists, and Adaptec has dozens of cards with
1968: different firmware issues. All of this adds up to a very desperate
1969: development model -- it becomes very hard for the principle of
1970: "quality" to show its head.
1971: <p>
1972: RAID devices have two main qualities that people buy them for:
1973: <br>
1974: <ul>
1.60 pvalchev 1975: <li>Redundancy
1.58 deraadt 1976: <li>Repair
1977: </ul>
1978: You want a RAID unit to provide you with redundancy, so that if some drives
1.60 pvalchev 1979: fail, your data is not lost. But once a drive has failed, you require your
1980: array to (automatically, most likely) perform the operations to repair
1.58 deraadt 1981: itself, so that it is functioning perfectly again.
1982: <p>
1983: Some vendors (or like the above Adaptec case, ex-employee) have
1984: sometimes given us some documentation so that we could write drivers,
1985: so that their devices could support Redundancy. But these vendors have
1986: never given us any documentation for performing Repairs.
1987: <p>
1988: Instead these vendors have tried to pass out non-free RAID management
1989: tools. These are typically gigantic Linux binaries, or some crazy thing, that
1.67 jolan 1990: is supposed to work through a bizarre interface in the device driver, which
1.58 deraadt 1991: we are apparently supposed to write code for without any documentation.
1992: <p>
1993: And since we refuse to accept our users being forced into depending on
1994: vendor binaries, we have reverse engineered the management interface for
1995: the AMI controllers.
1996: <p>
1997: There is no great "intellectual property" in this stuff, it is all
1998: rather simple primitives. This is all that we need to implement
1999: basic RAID management:
2000: <ul>
2001: <li>SCSI transactions on the back-side busses
2002: <li>Discovering which drives are in which volumes
2003: <li>Being able to silence the buzzer
2004: <li>Marking a new drive as a Hot-Spare
2005: </ul>
2006: <p>
2007: The AMI driver needed to support these small primitive operations.
2008: And once we had that, we rely on something else which we know: Almost
2009: all the RAID controllers would need the same primitives.
2010: <p>
2011: Thus armed, we were able to write a generic framework which would later
2012: work on other vendors' RAID cards, that is, once we get documentation
2013: or do some reverse engineering for their products.
2014: <p>
1.60 pvalchev 2015: But having been ignored for so long by these vendors, it is not clear when (if
2016: ever) we will get around to writing that support for Adaptec RAID
1.58 deraadt 2017: controllers now. And Adaptec has gone and bought ICP Vortex, which
2018: may mean we can never get documentation for the
1.70 steven 2019: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=gdt&sektion=4">gdt(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 2020: controllers.
2021: The "Open Source Friendly liar" IBM owns Mylex, and Mylex has told us we
2022: would not get documentation, either.
2023: 3Ware has lied to us and our users so many times they make politicians
2024: look saintly.
2025: <p>
2026: Until other vendors give us documentation, if you want reliable RAID
2027: in OpenBSD, please buy
2028: <a href="http://www.lsilogic.com/products/megaraid/index.html">LSI/AMI</a>

2126: For an operating system to get anywhere in "the market" it must have
2127: good device support.<br>
2128: <br>
2129: Ethernet was our first concern. Many vendors refused to supply
2130: programmers with programming documentation for these chipsets. Donald
2131: Becker (Linux) and Bill Paul (FreeBSD) changed the rules of the game
2132: here: They wrote drivers for the chipsets that they could get
2133: documentation for, and as they succeeded in writing more and more
2134: drivers, eventually closed vendors slowly opened up until most
2135: ethernet chipset documentation was available. Today, some vendors
2136: still resist releasing ethernet chipset documentation (ie. Broadcom,
1.62 brad 2137: Intel, Marvell/SysKonnect, NVIDIA) but the driver problem is mostly
1.46 henning 2138: solved in the ethernet market.<br>
1.44 deraadt 2139: <br>
2140: Similar problems have happened in the SCSI, IDE, and RAID markets.
2141: Again, the problem was solved by writing drivers for documented
2142: devices first. If the free software user communities use those drivers
2143: preferentially, it is a market loss for the secretive vendors.
2144: Another approach that has worked is to publish email addresses and
2145: phone numbers for the marketing department managers in these
2146: companies. These email campaigns have worked almost every time.<br>
2147: <br>
2148: The new frontier: 802.11 wireless chipsets.<br>
2149: <br>
2150: Over the last six months, this came to a head in the OpenBSD project.
2151: We asked our users to help us petition numerous vendors so that we
2152: could get chipset documentation or redistributable firmware. Certainly, we did
1.52 deraadt 2153: not succeed for some vendors. But we did influence some vendors, in
1.44 deraadt 2154: particular the Taiwanese (Ralink and Realtek), who have given us
2155: everything we need. We also reverse engineered the Atheros chipsets.<br>
2156: <br>
2157:
2158: Want to help us? Avoid
2159: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ipw">Intel Centrino</a>,
2160: Broadcom, TI, or Connexant PrismGT chipsets.

2287: What is up with some free software providers?!
2288: They say "Here's something free! Oh wait, I changed my mind."
2289: <p>
2290: While not exactly bait-and-switch, this is something which
2291: has been causing the community continual grief, and therefore
2292: we decided to honour a few of the projects that have decided
1.41 deraadt 2293: to go non-free. After all.. having gone non-free, no one is
1.37 deraadt 2294: going to remember them in the end.
2295: <p>
2296: This song is dedicated to a few worthy groups who
2297: have made this Free-to-Non-Free transition with their
2298: offerings in the last few years:
2299: <ul>
2300: <li>David Dawes worked for years with a team of
2301: developers to make a free X11 distribution for us to use,
2302: called XFree86, 98% of which was based on entirely free
2303: code from MIT. Suddenly, one day, he decided that
2304: we must give him more credit (ie. advertise his name) or
2305: stop using it. Within about 4 months every project had
2306: told him to get stuffed, and the community has created a
2307: replacement effort.
1.41 deraadt 2308: Now his team cannot even keep their web pages up to date...
1.37 deraadt 2309: <p>
2310: <li>OpenBSD was the first operating system to integrate a
2311: packet filter, and it was the ipf codebase from Darren Reed
2312: that we chose. But a few years later he told us that we
2313: were not free to make changes to the code. So we deleted ipf,
2314: and our new packet filter far exceeds the capabilities of the
2315: one he wrote. And other projects are switching too...
2316: <p>
2317: <li>The Apache group started from the humble beginnings
2318: of just being 'a patchy' set of changes to a completely free
2319: web server of dubious quality. But the years have changed them,
2320: and what they supply is now quite non-free... released under
1.40 jolan 2321: a license so entangled in legalese that we have absolutely no
1.51 jcs 2322: doubt that there are encumbrances hidden within. Legal terms
1.37 deraadt 2323: protect. Who are they protecting? Not your freedom.
2324: </ul>
2325: So here's a goodbye to those three groups, and a warning to any
2326: others who will follow them:
2327: Make your stuff non-free, and something else will
2328: replace it.

2452: A common theme used by the comedy crew Monty Python was to emphasize
2453: and exaggerate ridiculousnesses that their target had imposed upon
2454: themselves. Few things could be considered as humorous as making a
2455: redundancy protocol... redundant; e.g. being forced to replace it by
2456: Cisco lawyers and IETF policy.
2457: <p>
2458: We've been working a few years now on our packet filtering software
2459: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>
2460: and it became time to add failover. We want to be able to set up pf
2461: firewalls side by side, and exchange the stateful information between
2462: them, so that in case of failure another could take over 'keep state'
2463: sessions. Our
2464: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>
2465: protocol solves this problem. However, on both sides of the firewall,
2466: it is also necessary to have all the regular hosts not see a
2467: network failure. The only reliable way to do this is for both
2468: firewall machines to have and use the same IP and MAC addresses. But
2469: the only real way to do that is to use multicast protocols.
2470: <p>
2471: The IETF community proposed work in this direction in the late
2472: 90's, however in 1997 Cisco informed them that they believed some of
2473: Cisco's patents covered the proposed IETF VRRP (Virtual Router
2474: Redundancy Protocol); on
2475: <a href="http://www.ietf.org/ietf/IPR/VRRP-CISCO">
2476: March 20, 1998 they went further and specifically named their HSRP
2477: "Hot Standby Router Protocol" patent</a>. Reputedly, they were upset
2478: that IETF had not simply adopted the flawed HSRP protocol as the
2479: standard solution for this problem. Despite this legal pressure, the
2480: IETF community forged ahead and published VRRP as a standard even
2481: though there was a patent in the space. Why?
1.122 deraadt 2482: <a href="http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/doc/ietf/vrrp/vrrp-minutes-97dec.txt">
1.30 deraadt 2483: There was much deliberation</a>
2484: at all levels of the IETF, and unfortunately for all of us the
2485: politicians within eventually decided to allow patented technology in
2486: standards -- as long as the patented technology is licensed under RAND
2487: (Reasonable And Non Discriminatory) terms. As free software
2488: programmers, we therefore find ourselves in the position that these
2489: RAND standards must not be implemented by us, and we must deviate from
2490: the standard. We find all this rather Unreasonable and Discriminatory
2491: and we *will* design competing protocols. Some standards organization,
2492: eh?
2493: <p>
2494: Due to some HSRP flaws fixed by VRRP and for compatibility with the
2495: (HSRP-licensed) VRRP implementations of their competitors, Cisco in
2496: recent times has largely abandoned HSRP and now relies on VRRP instead
2497: -- a protocol designed for and by the community, but for which they
2498: claim patent rights.
2499: <p>
2500: On August 7 2002, after many communications, Robert Barr (Cisco's
2501: lawyer) firmly informed the OpenBSD community that Cisco would defend
2502: its patents for VRRP implementations -- meaning basically that it was
2503: impossible for a free software group to produce a truly free
2504: implementation of the IETF standard protocol. Perhaps this is because
2505: Cisco and Alcatel are currently engaged in a pair of patent lawsuits; a
2506: small piece of which is Cisco attempting to use the HSRP patent
2507: against Alcatel for their use of VRRP. Some IETF working group
2508: members took note of our complaints,
1.122 deraadt 2509: <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20061109082106/http://lists.microshaft.org/pipermail/dmca_discuss/2003-April/004702.html">
1.30 deraadt 2510: however an attempt in April 2003 to have the IETF abandon the use of
2511: patented technology failed to "reach consensus" in the IETF</a>.
2512: <p>
2513: A few years ago, the W3C, who designs our web protocols, tried to move
2514: to a RAND policy as well (primarily because of pressure from Microsoft
2515: and Apple), but the community outrage was so overpowering that they
2516: backed down. Some standards groups use this policy, while others
2517: avoid it -- the one differentiation being the amount of corporate
1.55 tom 2518: participation. In the IETF, the pro-RAND agents work for AT&T,
1.30 deraadt 2519: Alcatel, IBM, Cisco, Microsoft, and other large companies. Since IETF
2520: is an open forum, they can blend in as the populace, and vote just
2521: like all others, except against the community.
2522: <p>
2523: Translation: In failing to "reach consensus", the companies who
2524: benefit from RAND won, and the community lost again.
2525: <p>
2526: Left with little choice, we proceeded to reinvent the wheel or, more
2527: correctly, abandon the wheel entirely and go for a "hovercraft". We
2528: designed CARP (Common Address Redundancy Protocol) to solve the same
2529: problem that these other protocols are designed for, but without the
2530: same technological basis as HSRP and VRRP. We read the patent
2531: document carefully and ensured that CARP was fundamentally different.
2532: We also avoided many of the flaws in HSRP and VRRP (such as an inherent
2533: lack of security). And since we are OpenBSD developers, we designed
2534: it to use cryptography.
2535: <p>
2536: The combination of
2537: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>,
2538: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>, and
2539: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=carp&sektion=4">carp(4)</a>
2540: has permitted us to build highly redundant firewalls. To date, we
2541: have built a few networks that include as many as 4 firewalls, all
2542: running random reboot cycles. As long as one firewall is alive in a
2543: group, traffic through them moves smoothly and correctly for all of
2544: our packet filter functionality. Cisco's low end products are unable
2545: to do this reliably, and if they have high end products which can do
2546: this, you most certainly cannot afford them.
2547: <p>
2548: As a final note of course, when we petitioned IANA, the IETF body
2549: regulating "official" internet protocol numbers, to give us numbers
2550: for CARP and pfsync our request was denied. Apparently we had failed
2551: to go through an official standards organization. Consequently we
2552: were forced to choose a protocol number which would not conflict with
2553: anything else of value, and decided to place CARP at IP protocol 112.
2554: We also placed pfsync at an open and unused number. We informed IANA of
2555: these decisions, but they declined to reply.
2556: <p>
2557: This ridiculous situation then inspired one of our developers to create
2558: this parody of the well-known Monty Python skit and song.

1.26 deraadt 2850: the Sheriff (an unelected leader) and other evil
1.20 deraadt 2851: forces of the draconian government!
2852: <p>
2853: <br>
2854: As we did for the 3.3 release, we have once again tried
2855: making release artwork and music which are allegorical
2856: of recent happenings.
2857: <p>
2858: Two years ago we became involved with the University
2859: of Pennsylvania and DARPA, who were funding us to do
2860: security research and development .. on things that
2861: we were already intending to do. We provided ideas,
2862: wrote papers, and deployed cutting-edge technology;
2863: DARPA provided finances and reaped a share of the
2864: credit, and the University of Pennsylvania acted as
2865: a middle-man. We accepted funding based on the
2866: promise that our freedom to operate as we wished
2867: was unaffected. To us, freedom is more important
1.21 deraadt 2868: than funding -- heck, we were dealing with the evil
1.20 deraadt 2869: forces of government, and needed to be careful.
2870: <p>
2871: A few months prior to this release, DARPA suddenly
2872: and without warning decided to withdraw that funding;
2873: they also aggressively backed out of contractual
2874: obligations. Many articles in the <a href=press.html>press</a> followed regarding
1.67 jolan 2875: this sudden maneuver. Apparently this hoopla happened
1.20 deraadt 2876: because an OpenBSD-related article in the Canadian
1.55 tom 2877: newspaper The Globe & Mail had quoted Theo de Raadt
1.20 deraadt 2878: making anti-war statements regarding Iraq and the
2879: theft of oil.
2880: <p>
2881: The only answer given (to major media reporters) by a
2882: DARPA spokesperson (Jan Walker) was this:
2883: <p>
2884: "As a result of the DARPA review of the
2885: project, and due to world events and the evolving
2886: threat posed by increasingly capable nation-states,
2887: the Government on April 21 advised the University
2888: to suspend work on the "security fest" portion of
2889: the project."
2890: <p>
2891: That almost toes the line of calling us terrorists!
2892: We had lost financial support, but the release of the
2893: statement above suddenly made us very happy to be free
2894: of any perceived obligation to such crazy people.
2895: <p>
2896: Since the termination came near natural contract
2897: termination (about 4 months remained), less damage
2898: than expected was sustained by the project. Sponsors
2899: stepped forward and helped us make up the missing funds
2900: we needed to run our "Hackathon", and the event
1.61 grunk 2901: proceeded as planned. We even had T-shirts made with
1.20 deraadt 2902: "Workstations of Mass Development" artwork for those
2903: developers who attended (sorry, they are not for sale).
2904: <p>
2905: We could not make stories like this up. So instead,
2906: we are making up an allegory about it, using the tale
2907: of Robin Hood.
