                     24: setting, a movie, or some genre) into the fishy world of Puffy, to

                    258: Windows, and yet loves the situation with software that will only run
                    259: under particular Linux distributions.

                    265: software and have it compile and run across a multitude of platforms.
                    266: Now this seems to be changing as the love for Linux drives the
                    267: standards bodies into accepting everything Linux, good and bad.
                    268: <p>
                    269: We also are faced with groups writing software that only works
                    270: with particular distributions of Linux. From this we get software that
                    271: not only isn't very portable, but often not particularly stable. Our
                    272: idealistic dreamer in the song loves running one, or more than one distribution
                    273: of Linux for a particular purpose. Unfortunately, the rest of us are left
                    274: with the unattractive choice of doing the same, or relying on
                    275: herculean efforts to port software that is being actively developed in a

                   1096: than the lawsuit which followed.  Sure, a stupid lawsuit happened which

                   1123: (basically AT&T) sued BSDi and UCB.
                   1124: Eventually AT&T lost and after a few trifling fixes (described in the
                   1125: lawsuit documents) the codebase was free.  A few newer developments
                   1126: (and more free code) were added, and released in June 1994 as 4.4BSD-Lite.

                   1407: Those of us who work on OpenBSD are often asked why we do what we do.
1.91      merdely  1408: This song's lyrics express the core motivations and goals which have
1.90      deraadt  1409: remained unchanged over the years - secure, free, reliable software,
                   1410: that can be shared with anyone.  Many other projects purport to share
                   1411: these same goals, and love to wrap themselves in a banner of "Open
                   1412: Source" and "Free Software".  Given how many projects there are one
                   1413: would think it might be easy to stick to those goals, but it doesn't
                   1414: seem to work out that way.  A variety of desires drag many projects
                   1415: away from the ideals very quickly.
                   1416: <p>
1.93      jmc      1417: Much of any operating system's usability depends on device support,
1.91      merdely  1418: and there are some very tempting alternative ways to support devices
1.90      deraadt  1419: available to those who will surrender their moral code.  A project
                   1420: could compromise by entering into NDA agreements with vendors, or
                   1421: including binary objects in the operating system for which no source
                   1422: code exists, or tying their users down with contract terms hidden
                   1423: inside copyright notices.  All of these choices surrender some subset
                   1424: of the ideals, and we simply will not do this.  Sure, we care about
                   1425: getting devices working, but not at the expense of our original goals.
                   1426: <p>
                   1427: Of course since "free to share with anyone" is part of our goals,
                   1428: we've been at the forefront of many licensing and NDA issues,
1.91      merdely  1429: resulting in a good number of successes.  This success had led to much
1.90      deraadt  1430: recognition for the advancement of Free Software causes, but has also
                   1431: led to other issues.

                   1434: by many commercial entities, but contributions come back more often
                   1435: than people seem to know, and when they do, they're always still
                   1436: properly attributed to the original authors, and given back in the
                   1437: same spirit that they were given in the first place.
                   1438: <p>
                   1439: That's the best we can expect from companies.  After all, we make our
                   1440: stuff so free so that everyone can benefit -- it remains a core goal;
                   1441: we really have not strayed at all in 10 years.  But we can expect more
                   1442: from projects who talk about sharing -- such as the various Linux
                   1443: projects.
                   1444: <p>
                   1445: Now rather than seeing us as friends who can cooperatively improve all
                   1446: codebases, we are seen as foes who oppose the GPL.  The participants
                   1447: of "the race" are being manipulated by the FSF and their legal arm, the
                   1448: SFLC, for the FSF's aims, rather than the goal of getting good source
                   1449: into Linux (and all other code bases).  We don't want this to come off
                   1450: as some conspiracy theory, but we simply urge those developers caution
                   1451: -- they should ensure that the path they are being shown by those who
                   1452: have positioned themselves as leaders is still true.  Run for yourself,
                   1453: not for their agenda.
                   1454: <p>
                   1455: The Race is there to be run, for ourselves, not for others.  We do
                   1456: what we do to run our own race, and finish it the best we can.  We
                   1457: don't rush off at every distraction, or worry how this will affect our
                   1458: image.  We are here to have fun doing right.

                   1562: is device support.  No matter how nice an operating system is, it remains
                   1563: useless and unusable without solid support for a wide percentage of the
                   1564: hardware that is available on the market.  It is therefore rather unsurprising
                   1565: that more than half of our efforts focus on various aspects relating to
                   1566: device support.

1.81      deraadt  1569: all the way up to X, and then even to applications) use fairly obvious
                   1570: interface layers, where the "communication protocols" or "argument passing"
                   1571: mechanisms (ie. APIs) can be understood by any developer who takes the
                   1572: time to read the free code.  Device drivers pose an additional and significant
                   1573: challenge though: because many vendors refuse to document the exact behavior
                   1574: of their devices.  The devices are black boxes.  And often they are surprisingly
                   1575: weird, or even buggy.

                   1577: When vendor documentation does not exist, the development process can
                   1578: become extremely hairy.  Groups of developers have found themselves focused
                   1579: for months at a time, figuring out the most simple steps, simply because
                   1580: the hardware is a complete mystery.  Access to documentation can ease
                   1581: these difficulties rapidly.  However, getting access to the chip documentation
                   1582: from vendors is ... almost always a negotiation.  If we had open access to
1.84      matthieu 1583: documentation, anyone would be able to see how simple all these devices
1.81      deraadt  1584: actually are, and device driver development would flourish (and not just in

                   1589: and that selling chips would be the primary focus of these vendors.  But

                   2140: For a multitude of (stupid) reasons, vendors often attempt to lock
                   2141: out our participation with their customers by refusing to give our
                   2142: programmers sufficient documentation so that we can properly support
                   2143: their devices.
                   2144: <p>
                   2145: Take Adaptec for instance.  Before the 3.7 release we disabled support
                   2146: for the
1.70      steven   2147: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=aac&amp;sektion=4">aac(4)</a>
1.58      deraadt  2148: Adaptec RAID driver because negotiations with the Adaptec had failed.
                   2149: They refused to give us documentation.  Without documentation, support
                   2150: for their controller had always been poor.  The driver had bugs (which
                   2151: affected some users more than others) which caused crashes, and of
                   2152: course there was no RAID management support.  Apparently most of these
1.59      jolan    2153: bugs are because the Adaptec controllers have numerous buggy firmware
                   2154: issues which require careful workarounds; without documentation we
                   2155: cannot solve these issues.
1.58      deraadt  2156: <p>
                   2157: The driver was written by an OpenBSD developer, who cribbed parts
                   2158: of it from a FreeBSD driver written by an ex-Adaptec employee.  But no
                   2159: public documentation exists, and Adaptec has dozens of cards with
                   2160: different firmware issues. All of this adds up to a very desperate
                   2161: development model -- it becomes very hard for the principle of
                   2162: "quality" to show its head.
                   2163: <p>
                   2164: RAID devices have two main qualities that people buy them for:
                   2165: <br>
                   2166: <ul>
1.60      pvalchev 2167: <li>Redundancy
1.58      deraadt  2168: <li>Repair
                   2169: </ul>
                   2170: You want a RAID unit to provide you with redundancy, so that if some drives
1.60      pvalchev 2171: fail, your data is not lost.  But once a drive has failed, you require your
                   2172: array to (automatically, most likely) perform the operations to repair
1.58      deraadt  2173: itself, so that it is functioning perfectly again.
                   2174: <p>
                   2175: Some vendors (or like the above Adaptec case, ex-employee) have
                   2176: sometimes given us some documentation so that we could write drivers,
                   2177: so that their devices could support Redundancy.  But these vendors have
                   2178: never given us any documentation for performing Repairs.
                   2179: <p>
                   2180: Instead these vendors have tried to pass out non-free RAID management
                   2181: tools.  These are typically gigantic Linux binaries, or some crazy thing, that
1.67      jolan    2182: is supposed to work through a bizarre interface in the device driver, which
1.58      deraadt  2183: we are apparently supposed to write code for without any documentation.
                   2184: <p>
                   2185: And since we refuse to accept our users being forced into depending on
                   2186: vendor binaries, we have reverse engineered the management interface for
                   2187: the AMI controllers.
                   2188: <p>
                   2189: There is no great "intellectual property" in this stuff, it is all
                   2190: rather simple primitives.  This is all that we need to implement
                   2191: basic RAID management:
                   2192: <ul>
                   2193: <li>SCSI transactions on the back-side busses
                   2194: <li>Discovering which drives are in which volumes
                   2195: <li>Being able to silence the buzzer
                   2196: <li>Marking a new drive as a Hot-Spare
                   2197: </ul>
                   2198: <p>
                   2199: The AMI driver needed to support these small primitive operations.
                   2200: And once we had that, we rely on something else which we know: Almost
                   2201: all the RAID controllers would need the same primitives.
                   2202: <p>
                   2203: Thus armed, we were able to write a generic framework which would later
                   2204: work on other vendors' RAID cards, that is, once we get documentation
                   2205: or do some reverse engineering for their products.
                   2206: <p>
1.60      pvalchev 2207: But having been ignored for so long by these vendors, it is not clear when (if
                   2208: ever) we will get around to writing that support for Adaptec RAID
1.58      deraadt  2209: controllers now.  And Adaptec has gone and bought ICP Vortex, which
                   2210: may mean we can never get documentation for the

                   2213: The "Open Source Friendly liar" IBM owns Mylex, and Mylex has told us we
                   2214: would not get documentation, either.
                   2215: 3Ware has lied to us and our users so many times they make politicians
                   2216: look saintly.
                   2217: <p>
                   2218: Until other vendors give us documentation, if you want reliable RAID
                   2219: in OpenBSD, please buy

                   2318: For an operating system to get anywhere in "the market" it must have
                   2319: good device support.<br>
                   2320: <br>
                   2321: Ethernet was our first concern. Many vendors refused to supply
                   2322: programmers with programming documentation for these chipsets.  Donald
                   2323: Becker (Linux) and Bill Paul (FreeBSD) changed the rules of the game
                   2324: here: They wrote drivers for the chipsets that they could get
                   2325: documentation for, and as they succeeded in writing more and more
                   2326: drivers, eventually closed vendors slowly opened up until most
                   2327: ethernet chipset documentation was available.  Today, some vendors
                   2328: still resist releasing ethernet chipset documentation (ie. Broadcom,
1.62      brad     2329: Intel, Marvell/SysKonnect, NVIDIA) but the driver problem is mostly
1.46      henning  2330: solved in the ethernet market.<br>
1.44      deraadt  2331: <br>
                   2332: Similar problems have happened in the SCSI, IDE, and RAID markets.
                   2333: Again, the problem was solved by writing drivers for documented
                   2334: devices first. If the free software user communities use those drivers
                   2335: preferentially, it is a market loss for the secretive vendors.
                   2336: Another approach that has worked is to publish email addresses and
                   2337: phone numbers for the marketing department managers in these
                   2338: companies.  These email campaigns have worked almost every time.<br>

                   2342: Over the last six months, this came to a head in the OpenBSD project.
                   2343: We asked our users to help us petition numerous vendors so that we
                   2344: could get chipset documentation or redistributable firmware.  Certainly, we did
1.52      deraadt  2345: not succeed for some vendors.  But we did influence some vendors, in
1.44      deraadt  2346: particular the Taiwanese (Ralink and Realtek), who have given us
                   2347: everything we need.  We also reverse engineered the Atheros chipsets.<br>

                   2369: What really upsets us the most is that some Linux vendors are signing
                   2370: Non-Disclosure Agreements with vendors, or contracts that let them
                   2371: distribute firmwares. Meanwhile both Linux and FSF head developers

                   2491: <ul>
                   2492: <li>David Dawes worked for years with a team of
                   2493: developers to make a free X11 distribution for us to use,
                   2494: called XFree86, 98% of which was based on entirely free

                   2504: that we chose.  But a few years later he told us that we

                   2506: and our new packet filter far exceeds the capabilities of the
                   2507: one he wrote. And other projects are switching too...

                   2510: of just being 'a patchy' set of changes to a completely free
                   2511: web server of dubious quality.  But the years have changed them,
                   2512: and what they supply is now quite non-free... released under
1.40      jolan    2513: a license so entangled in legalese that we have absolutely no

                   3048: of recent happenings.
                   3049: <p>
                   3050: Two years ago we became involved with the University
                   3051: of Pennsylvania and DARPA, who were funding us to do
                   3052: security research and development .. on things that
                   3053: we were already intending to do.  We provided ideas,
                   3054: wrote papers, and deployed cutting-edge technology;
                   3055: DARPA provided finances and reaped a share of the
                   3056: credit, and the University of Pennsylvania acted as
                   3057: a middle-man.  We accepted funding based on the
                   3058: promise that our freedom to operate as we wished
                   3059: was unaffected. To us, freedom is more important
1.21      deraadt  3060: than funding -- heck, we were dealing with the evil
1.20      deraadt  3061: forces of government, and needed to be careful.
                   3062: <p>
                   3063: A few months prior to this release, DARPA suddenly
                   3064: and without warning decided to withdraw that funding;
                   3065: they also aggressively backed out of contractual
                   3066: obligations.  Many articles in the <a href=press.html>press</a> followed regarding
1.67      jolan    3067: this sudden maneuver.  Apparently this hoopla happened
1.20      deraadt  3068: because an OpenBSD-related article in the Canadian
1.55      tom      3069: newspaper The Globe &amp; Mail had quoted Theo de Raadt
1.20      deraadt  3070: making anti-war statements regarding Iraq and the
                   3071: theft of oil.

                   3073: The only answer given (to major media reporters) by a
                   3074: DARPA spokesperson (Jan Walker) was this:
                   3075: <p>
                   3076: &quot;As a result of the DARPA review of the
                   3077: project, and due to world events and the evolving
                   3078: threat posed by increasingly capable nation-states,
                   3079: the Government on April 21 advised the University
                   3080: to suspend work on the "security fest" portion of
                   3081: the project.&quot;

                   3083: That almost toes the line of calling us terrorists!
                   3084: We had lost financial support, but the release of the
                   3085: statement above suddenly made us very happy to be free
                   3086: of any perceived obligation to such crazy people.
                   3087: <p>
                   3088: Since the termination came near natural contract
                   3089: termination (about 4 months remained), less damage
                   3090: than expected was sustained by the project.  Sponsors
                   3091: stepped forward and helped us make up the missing funds
                   3092: we needed to run our "Hackathon", and the event
1.61      grunk    3093: proceeded as planned.  We even had T-shirts made with
1.20      deraadt  3094: "Workstations of Mass Development" artwork for those

                   3096: <p>
                   3097: We could not make stories like this up.  So instead,
                   3098: we are making up an allegory about it, using the tale
                   3099: of Robin Hood.
