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

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

                   1122: (basically AT&T) sued BSDi and UCB.
                   1123: Eventually AT&T lost and after a few trifling fixes (described in the
                   1124: lawsuit documents) the codebase was free.  A few newer developments
                   1125: (and more free code) were added, and released in June 1994 as 4.4BSD-Lite.

                   1262: onboard and continued their journey to New Orleans.  A few

                   1406: Those of us who work on OpenBSD are often asked why we do what we do.
1.91      merdely  1407: This song's lyrics express the core motivations and goals which have
1.90      deraadt  1408: remained unchanged over the years - secure, free, reliable software,
                   1409: that can be shared with anyone.  Many other projects purport to share
                   1410: these same goals, and love to wrap themselves in a banner of "Open
                   1411: Source" and "Free Software".  Given how many projects there are one
                   1412: would think it might be easy to stick to those goals, but it doesn't
                   1413: seem to work out that way.  A variety of desires drag many projects
                   1414: away from the ideals very quickly.
                   1415: <p>
1.93      jmc      1416: Much of any operating system's usability depends on device support,
1.91      merdely  1417: and there are some very tempting alternative ways to support devices
1.90      deraadt  1418: available to those who will surrender their moral code.  A project
                   1419: could compromise by entering into NDA agreements with vendors, or
                   1420: including binary objects in the operating system for which no source
                   1421: code exists, or tying their users down with contract terms hidden
                   1422: inside copyright notices.  All of these choices surrender some subset
                   1423: of the ideals, and we simply will not do this.  Sure, we care about
                   1424: getting devices working, but not at the expense of our original goals.
                   1425: <p>
                   1426: Of course since "free to share with anyone" is part of our goals,
                   1427: we've been at the forefront of many licensing and NDA issues,
1.91      merdely  1428: resulting in a good number of successes.  This success had led to much
1.90      deraadt  1429: recognition for the advancement of Free Software causes, but has also
                   1430: led to other issues.

                   1433: by many commercial entities, but contributions come back more often
                   1434: than people seem to know, and when they do, they're always still
                   1435: properly attributed to the original authors, and given back in the
                   1436: same spirit that they were given in the first place.
                   1437: <p>
                   1438: That's the best we can expect from companies.  After all, we make our
                   1439: stuff so free so that everyone can benefit -- it remains a core goal;
                   1440: we really have not strayed at all in 10 years.  But we can expect more
                   1441: from projects who talk about sharing -- such as the various Linux
                   1442: projects.
                   1443: <p>
                   1444: Now rather than seeing us as friends who can cooperatively improve all
                   1445: codebases, we are seen as foes who oppose the GPL.  The participants
                   1446: of "the race" are being manipulated by the FSF and their legal arm, the
                   1447: SFLC, for the FSF's aims, rather than the goal of getting good source
                   1448: into Linux (and all other code bases).  We don't want this to come off
                   1449: as some conspiracy theory, but we simply urge those developers caution
                   1450: -- they should ensure that the path they are being shown by those who
                   1451: have positioned themselves as leaders is still true.  Run for yourself,
                   1452: not for their agenda.

                   1454: The Race is there to be run, for ourselves, not for others.  We do
                   1455: what we do to run our own race, and finish it the best we can.  We
                   1456: don't rush off at every distraction, or worry how this will affect our
                   1457: image.  We are here to have fun doing right.

                   1560: As developers of a free operating system, one of our prime responsibilities
                   1561: is device support.  No matter how nice an operating system is, it remains
                   1562: useless and unusable without solid support for a wide percentage of the
                   1563: hardware that is available on the market.  It is therefore rather unsurprising
                   1564: that more than half of our efforts focus on various aspects relating to
                   1565: device support.

1.81      deraadt  1568: all the way up to X, and then even to applications) use fairly obvious
                   1569: interface layers, where the "communication protocols" or "argument passing"
                   1570: mechanisms (ie. APIs) can be understood by any developer who takes the
                   1571: time to read the free code.  Device drivers pose an additional and significant
                   1572: challenge though: because many vendors refuse to document the exact behavior
                   1573: of their devices.  The devices are black boxes.  And often they are surprisingly
                   1574: weird, or even buggy.
                   1575: <p>
                   1576: When vendor documentation does not exist, the development process can
                   1577: become extremely hairy.  Groups of developers have found themselves focused
                   1578: for months at a time, figuring out the most simple steps, simply because
                   1579: the hardware is a complete mystery.  Access to documentation can ease
                   1580: these difficulties rapidly.  However, getting access to the chip documentation
                   1581: from vendors is ... almost always a negotiation.  If we had open access to
1.84      matthieu 1582: documentation, anyone would be able to see how simple all these devices
1.81      deraadt  1583: actually are, and device driver development would flourish (and not just in

                   1588: and that selling chips would be the primary focus of these vendors.  But
                   1589: unfortunately a number of behemoth software vendors have spent the last 10 or

                   2139: For a multitude of (stupid) reasons, vendors often attempt to lock
                   2140: out our participation with their customers by refusing to give our
                   2141: programmers sufficient documentation so that we can properly support
                   2142: their devices.
                   2143: <p>
                   2144: Take Adaptec for instance.  Before the 3.7 release we disabled support

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

                   2212: The "Open Source Friendly liar" IBM owns Mylex, and Mylex has told us we
                   2213: would not get documentation, either.
                   2214: 3Ware has lied to us and our users so many times they make politicians
                   2215: look saintly.
                   2216: <p>
                   2217: Until other vendors give us documentation, if you want reliable RAID
                   2218: in OpenBSD, please buy

                   2317: For an operating system to get anywhere in "the market" it must have
                   2318: good device support.<br>
                   2319: <br>
                   2320: Ethernet was our first concern. Many vendors refused to supply
                   2321: programmers with programming documentation for these chipsets.  Donald
                   2322: Becker (Linux) and Bill Paul (FreeBSD) changed the rules of the game
                   2323: here: They wrote drivers for the chipsets that they could get
                   2324: documentation for, and as they succeeded in writing more and more
                   2325: drivers, eventually closed vendors slowly opened up until most
                   2326: ethernet chipset documentation was available.  Today, some vendors
                   2327: still resist releasing ethernet chipset documentation (ie. Broadcom,
1.62      brad     2328: Intel, Marvell/SysKonnect, NVIDIA) but the driver problem is mostly
1.46      henning  2329: solved in the ethernet market.<br>
1.44      deraadt  2330: <br>
                   2331: Similar problems have happened in the SCSI, IDE, and RAID markets.
                   2332: Again, the problem was solved by writing drivers for documented
                   2333: devices first. If the free software user communities use those drivers
                   2334: preferentially, it is a market loss for the secretive vendors.
                   2335: Another approach that has worked is to publish email addresses and
                   2336: phone numbers for the marketing department managers in these
                   2337: companies.  These email campaigns have worked almost every time.<br>

                   2341: Over the last six months, this came to a head in the OpenBSD project.
                   2342: We asked our users to help us petition numerous vendors so that we
                   2343: could get chipset documentation or redistributable firmware.  Certainly, we did
1.52      deraadt  2344: not succeed for some vendors.  But we did influence some vendors, in
1.44      deraadt  2345: particular the Taiwanese (Ralink and Realtek), who have given us
                   2346: everything we need.  We also reverse engineered the Atheros chipsets.<br>

                   2368: What really upsets us the most is that some Linux vendors are signing
                   2369: Non-Disclosure Agreements with vendors, or contracts that let them
                   2370: distribute firmwares. Meanwhile both Linux and FSF head developers

                   2490: <ul>
                   2491: <li>David Dawes worked for years with a team of
                   2492: developers to make a free X11 distribution for us to use,
                   2493: called XFree86, 98% of which was based on entirely free

                   2503: that we chose.  But a few years later he told us that we

                   2505: and our new packet filter far exceeds the capabilities of the
                   2506: one he wrote. And other projects are switching too...

                   2508: <li>The Apache group started from the humble beginnings
                   2509: of just being 'a patchy' set of changes to a completely free
                   2510: web server of dubious quality.  But the years have changed them,
                   2511: and what they supply is now quite non-free... released under
1.40      jolan    2512: a license so entangled in legalese that we have absolutely no

                   3049: Two years ago we became involved with the University

                   3051: security research and development .. on things that
                   3052: we were already intending to do.  We provided ideas,

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

                   3074: <p>
                   3075: &quot;As a result of the DARPA review of the
                   3076: project, and due to world events and the evolving
                   3077: threat posed by increasingly capable nation-states,
                   3078: the Government on April 21 advised the University
                   3079: to suspend work on the "security fest" portion of
                   3080: the project.&quot;

                   3082: That almost toes the line of calling us terrorists!
                   3083: We had lost financial support, but the release of the
                   3084: statement above suddenly made us very happy to be free
                   3085: of any perceived obligation to such crazy people.
                   3086: <p>
                   3087: Since the termination came near natural contract
                   3088: termination (about 4 months remained), less damage
                   3089: than expected was sustained by the project.  Sponsors
                   3090: stepped forward and helped us make up the missing funds
                   3091: we needed to run our "Hackathon", and the event
1.61      grunk    3092: proceeded as planned.  We even had T-shirts made with
