                     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.

                    107: you'll love my Linux" is the passionate call of an idealistic dreamer
                    108: who can't bear the thought of software that will only run under
                    109: Windows, and yet loves the situation with software that will only run
                    110: under particular Linux distributions.
                    111: <p>
                    112: This problem has proliferated itself into the standards bodies, with
                    113: Posix adopting Linuxisms ahead of any other variant of Unix.
                    114: <p>
                    115: Posix and Unix have made it where you can write reasonably portable
                    116: software and have it compile and run across a multitude of platforms.
                    117: Now this seems to be changing as the love for Linux drives the
                    118: standards bodies into accepting everything Linux, good and bad.
                    119: <p>
                    120: We also are faced with groups writing software that only works
                    121: with particular distributions of Linux. From this we get software that
                    122: not only isn't very portable, but often not particularly stable. Our
                    123: idealistic dreamer in the song loves running one, or more than one distribution
                    124: of Linux for a particular purpose. Unfortunately, the rest of us are left
                    125: with the unattractive choice of doing the same, or relying on
                    126: herculean efforts to port software that is being actively developed in a
                    127: way to discourage porting it to other platforms.

                    931: Nearly 10 years ago Kirk McKusick wrote a history of
                    932: the Berkeley Unix distributions for the
1.121     deraadt   933: O'Reilly book "Open Sources: Voices from the Open Source Revolution".
1.104     deraadt   934: We recommend you read his story, entitled
                    935: <a href="http://oreilly.com/catalog/opensources/book/kirkmck.html">
                    936: "Twenty Years of Berkeley Unix

                    938: first, to see how Kirk remembers how we got here.
                    939: Sadly, since it showed up in book form originally, this text has
                    940: probably not been read by enough people.
                    941: <br>
                    942: <br>
                    943: The USL(AT&T) vs BSDI/UCB court case settlement documents were
                    944: not public until recently; their disclosure has made the facts more clear.
                    945: But the story of how three people decided to free the BSD codebase
                    946: of corporate pollution -- and release it freely -- is more interesting
                    947: than the lawsuit which followed.  Sure, a stupid lawsuit happened which
                    948: hindered the acceptance of the BSD code during a critical period.
                    949: But how did a bunch of guys go through the effort of replacing so
                    950: much AT&T code in the first place? After all, companies had
                    951: lots of really evil lawyers back then too -- were they not afraid?
                    952: <br>
                    953: <br>
                    954: After a decade of development, most of the AT&T code had
                    955: already been replaced by university researchers and their associates.
                    956: So Keith Bostic, Mike Karels and Kirk McKusick (the main UCB CSRG group)
                    957: started going through the 4.3BSD codebase to cleanse the rest.
                    958: Keith, in particular, built a ragtag team (in those days, USENIX
                    959: conferences were a gold mine for such team building) and led these
                    960: rebels to rewrite and replace all the Imperial AT&T code, piece by
                    961: piece, starting with the libraries and userland programs.
                    962: Anyone who helped only got credit as a Contributor -- people like
                    963: Chris Torek and a cast of .. hundreds more.

1.105     deraadt   966: Then Mike and Kirk purified the kernel. After a bit more careful
1.104     deraadt   967: checking, this led to the release of a clean tree called Net/2 which
                    968: was given to the world in June 1991 -- the largest dump of free source
                    969: code the world had ever received (for those days -- not modern monsters like OpenOffice).
                    970: <br>
                    971: <br>
                    972: Some of these ragtags formed a company (BSDi) to sell a production system
                    973: based on this free code base, and a year later Unix System Laboratories
                    974: (basically AT&T) sued BSDi and UCB.
                    975: Eventually AT&T lost and after a few trifling fixes (described in the
                    976: lawsuit documents) the codebase was free.  A few newer developments
                    977: (and more free code) were added, and released in June 1994 as 4.4BSD-Lite.
                    978: Just over 14 years later OpenBSD is releasing its own 4.4 release (and for
                    979: a lot less than <a href=orders.html>$1000 per copy</a>).
                    980: <br>
                    981: <br>
                    982: The OpenBSD 4.4 release is dedicated to Keith Bostic, Mike Karels, Kirk McKusick,
                    983: and all of those who contributed to making Net/2 and 4.4BSD-Lite free.

1.91      merdely  1259: This song's lyrics express the core motivations and goals which have
1.90      deraadt  1260: remained unchanged over the years - secure, free, reliable software,
                   1261: that can be shared with anyone.  Many other projects purport to share
                   1262: these same goals, and love to wrap themselves in a banner of "Open
                   1263: Source" and "Free Software".  Given how many projects there are one
                   1264: would think it might be easy to stick to those goals, but it doesn't
                   1265: seem to work out that way.  A variety of desires drag many projects
                   1266: away from the ideals very quickly.

                   1271: could compromise by entering into NDA agreements with vendors, or

                   1274: inside copyright notices.  All of these choices surrender some subset
                   1275: of the ideals, and we simply will not do this.  Sure, we care about

                   1292: we really have not strayed at all in 10 years.  But we can expect more

                   1296: Now rather than seeing us as friends who can cooperatively improve all

                   1298: of "the race" are being manipulated by the FSF and their legal arm, the
                   1299: SFLC, for the FSF's aims, rather than the goal of getting good source
                   1300: into Linux (and all other code bases).  We don't want this to come off
                   1301: as some conspiracy theory, but we simply urge those developers caution
                   1302: -- they should ensure that the path they are being shown by those who

                   1412: As developers of a free operating system, one of our prime responsibilities
                   1413: is device support.  No matter how nice an operating system is, it remains
                   1414: useless and unusable without solid support for a wide percentage of the
                   1415: hardware that is available on the market.  It is therefore rather unsurprising
                   1416: that more than half of our efforts focus on various aspects relating to
                   1417: device support.
                   1418: <p>
1.85      mbalmer  1419: Most parts of the operating system (from low kernel, through to libraries,
1.81      deraadt  1420: all the way up to X, and then even to applications) use fairly obvious
                   1421: interface layers, where the "communication protocols" or "argument passing"
                   1422: mechanisms (ie. APIs) can be understood by any developer who takes the
                   1423: time to read the free code.  Device drivers pose an additional and significant
                   1424: challenge though: because many vendors refuse to document the exact behavior
                   1425: of their devices.  The devices are black boxes.  And often they are surprisingly
                   1426: weird, or even buggy.
                   1427: <p>
                   1428: When vendor documentation does not exist, the development process can
                   1429: become extremely hairy.  Groups of developers have found themselves focused
                   1430: for months at a time, figuring out the most simple steps, simply because
                   1431: the hardware is a complete mystery.  Access to documentation can ease
                   1432: these difficulties rapidly.  However, getting access to the chip documentation
                   1433: from vendors is ... almost always a negotiation.  If we had open access to
1.84      matthieu 1434: documentation, anyone would be able to see how simple all these devices
1.81      deraadt  1435: actually are, and device driver development would flourish (and not just in
                   1436: OpenBSD, either).
                   1437: <p>
                   1438: When we proceed into negotiations with vendors, asking for documentation,
                   1439: our position is often weak.  One would assume that the modern market is fair,
                   1440: and that selling chips would be the primary focus of these vendors.  But
                   1441: unfortunately a number of behemoth software vendors have spent the last 10 or
                   1442: 20 years building

                   2001: for their controller had always been poor.  The driver had bugs (which
                   2002: affected some users more than others) which caused crashes, and of
                   2003: course there was no RAID management support.  Apparently most of these
1.59      jolan    2004: bugs are because the Adaptec controllers have numerous buggy firmware
                   2005: issues which require careful workarounds; without documentation we

1.58      deraadt  2007: <p>
                   2008: The driver was written by an OpenBSD developer, who cribbed parts

                   2010: public documentation exists, and Adaptec has dozens of cards with
                   2011: different firmware issues. All of this adds up to a very desperate
                   2012: development model -- it becomes very hard for the principle of

                   2020: </ul>
                   2021: You want a RAID unit to provide you with redundancy, so that if some drives
1.60      pvalchev 2022: fail, your data is not lost.  But once a drive has failed, you require your
                   2023: array to (automatically, most likely) perform the operations to repair
1.58      deraadt  2024: itself, so that it is functioning perfectly again.
                   2025: <p>
                   2026: Some vendors (or like the above Adaptec case, ex-employee) have
                   2027: sometimes given us some documentation so that we could write drivers,
                   2028: so that their devices could support Redundancy.  But these vendors have
                   2029: never given us any documentation for performing Repairs.
                   2030: <p>
                   2031: Instead these vendors have tried to pass out non-free RAID management
                   2032: tools.  These are typically gigantic Linux binaries, or some crazy thing, that
1.67      jolan    2033: is supposed to work through a bizarre interface in the device driver, which
1.58      deraadt  2034: we are apparently supposed to write code for without any documentation.

                   2037: vendor binaries, we have reverse engineered the management interface for
                   2038: the AMI controllers.
                   2039: <p>
                   2040: There is no great "intellectual property" in this stuff, it is all
                   2041: rather simple primitives.  This is all that we need to implement
                   2042: basic RAID management:
                   2043: <ul>
                   2044: <li>SCSI transactions on the back-side busses
                   2045: <li>Discovering which drives are in which volumes
                   2046: <li>Being able to silence the buzzer
                   2047: <li>Marking a new drive as a Hot-Spare
                   2048: </ul>
                   2049: <p>
                   2050: The AMI driver needed to support these small primitive operations.
                   2051: And once we had that, we rely on something else which we know: Almost
                   2052: all the RAID controllers would need the same primitives.
                   2053: <p>
                   2054: Thus armed, we were able to write a generic framework which would later
                   2055: work on other vendors' RAID cards, that is, once we get documentation
                   2056: or do some reverse engineering for their products.
                   2057: <p>
1.60      pvalchev 2058: But having been ignored for so long by these vendors, it is not clear when (if
                   2059: ever) we will get around to writing that support for Adaptec RAID
1.58      deraadt  2060: controllers now.  And Adaptec has gone and bought ICP Vortex, which
                   2061: may mean we can never get documentation for the

                   2171: <br>
                   2172: Ethernet was our first concern. Many vendors refused to supply

                   2174: Becker (Linux) and Bill Paul (FreeBSD) changed the rules of the game
                   2175: here: They wrote drivers for the chipsets that they could get
                   2176: documentation for, and as they succeeded in writing more and more
                   2177: drivers, eventually closed vendors slowly opened up until most
                   2178: ethernet chipset documentation was available.  Today, some vendors
                   2179: still resist releasing ethernet chipset documentation (ie. Broadcom,

1.44      deraadt  2182: <br>
                   2183: Similar problems have happened in the SCSI, IDE, and RAID markets.
                   2184: Again, the problem was solved by writing drivers for documented
                   2185: devices first. If the free software user communities use those drivers
                   2186: preferentially, it is a market loss for the secretive vendors.
                   2187: Another approach that has worked is to publish email addresses and
                   2188: phone numbers for the marketing department managers in these
                   2189: companies.  These email campaigns have worked almost every time.<br>

                   2343: <li>David Dawes worked for years with a team of
                   2344: developers to make a free X11 distribution for us to use,
                   2345: called XFree86, 98% of which was based on entirely free
                   2346: code from MIT. Suddenly, one day, he decided that
                   2347: we must give him more credit (ie. advertise his name) or
                   2348: stop using it.  Within about 4 months every project had
                   2349: told him to get stuffed, and the community has created a

                   2355: that we chose.  But a few years later he told us that we
                   2356: were not free to make changes to the code.  So we deleted ipf,
                   2357: and our new packet filter far exceeds the capabilities of the
                   2358: one he wrote. And other projects are switching too...
                   2359: <p>
                   2360: <li>The Apache group started from the humble beginnings
                   2361: of just being 'a patchy' set of changes to a completely free
                   2362: web server of dubious quality.  But the years have changed them,
                   2363: and what they supply is now quite non-free... released under
1.40      jolan    2364: a license so entangled in legalese that we have absolutely no

                   2543: On August 7 2002, after many communications, Robert Barr (Cisco's
                   2544: lawyer) firmly informed the OpenBSD community that Cisco would defend
                   2545: its patents for VRRP implementations -- meaning basically that it was
                   2546: impossible for a free software group to produce a truly free

                   2548: Cisco and Alcatel are currently engaged in a pair of patent lawsuits; a

                   2556: A few years ago, the W3C, who designs our web protocols, tried to move
                   2557: to a RAND policy as well (primarily because of pressure from Microsoft
                   2558: and Apple), but the community outrage was so overpowering that they
                   2559: backed down.  Some standards groups use this policy, while others
                   2560: avoid it -- the one differentiation being the amount of corporate

1.30      deraadt  2562: Alcatel, IBM, Cisco, Microsoft, and other large companies.  Since IETF
                   2563: is an open forum, they can blend in as the populace, and vote just
                   2564: like all others, except against the community.
                   2565: <p>

                   2567: benefit from RAND won, and the community lost again.

                   2573: same technological basis as HSRP and VRRP.  We read the patent
                   2574: document carefully and ensured that CARP was fundamentally different.
                   2575: We also avoided many of the flaws in HSRP and VRRP (such as an inherent

                   2590: <p>
                   2591: As a final note of course, when we petitioned IANA, the IETF body
                   2592: regulating "official" internet protocol numbers, to give us numbers
                   2593: for CARP and pfsync our request was denied.  Apparently we had failed
                   2594: to go through an official standards organization.  Consequently we
                   2595: were forced to choose a protocol number which would not conflict with
                   2596: anything else of value, and decided to place CARP at IP protocol 112.
                   2597: We also placed pfsync at an open and unused number. We informed IANA of
                   2598: these decisions, but they declined to reply.

                   2910: was unaffected. To us, freedom is more important

                   2930: the Government on April 21 advised the University
