20: Every 6 months the OpenBSD project has the pleasure to release
21: software on an official CDROM set, with artwork and a matching song.
1.139 deraadt 22: Theo and some other developers mutate a theme (from a classical
23: setting, a movie, or some genre) into the fishy world of Puffy, to
24: describe some advance, event or controversy the project went through
1.108 deraadt 25: over the previous six months. To match the art released with the CD,
1.139 deraadt 26: we join up with some musicians we know to make a song. Theo then gets
27: the pleasure (and responsibility) to write a commentary explaining it all.

134: In January of 2038, 32-bit Unix time will overflow and wrap
135: back to 1901. This is known as the
136: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem">Year 2038 problem</a>.
137: POSIX operating systems have made strong inroads into embedded
138: roles, so this is anticipated to be substantially worse than the Y2K transition.
139: <p>
140: Over the summer of 2013, Philip Guenther started the OpenBSD work to
141: solve this. The <b>time_t</b> type was changed to int64_t on all
142: platforms, and the kernel and userland were adapted to the new
143: situation. The initial work was commited right after OpenBSD 5.4,
144: then polished over the next 6 months.
145: <p>
146: The next part of the process was to drag the "ports" software
147: ecosystem along because noone else had paved the way for 32-bit
148: machines to run with 64-bit <b>time_t</b>. This required a fair
149: bit of upstream involvement. Thousands of fixes were required to
150: make both 32-bit and 64-bit time work transparently. There will
151: be more fixing in the future, but the concept is proven.
152: <p>
153: In the past OpenBSD pushed risky theoretical ideas into mainstream
154: software practice by proving the ecosystem was ready to change.
155: No OS wants to make a ABI jump until the case for change is proven.
156: Stack protection, ASLR, and W^X principles are now in common use
157: by mainline operating systems... because things like Firefox
158: and Postgresql don't break anymore. OpenBSD built that route.
159: <p>
160: In the same way, the road is paved for the 64-bit <b>time_t</b>
161: transition. Other operating systems can now make this jump.

1.132 beck 336: Just as the original song professed its love for Brazil, "World,
337: you'll love my Linux" is the passionate call of an idealistic dreamer
338: who can't bear the thought of software that will only run under
339: Windows, and yet loves the situation with software that will only run
340: under particular Linux distributions.
341: <p>
342: This problem has proliferated itself into the standards bodies, with
343: Posix adopting Linuxisms ahead of any other variant of Unix.
344: <p>
345: Posix and Unix have made it where you can write reasonably portable
346: software and have it compile and run across a multitude of platforms.
347: Now this seems to be changing as the love for Linux drives the
348: standards bodies into accepting everything Linux, good and bad.
349: <p>
350: We also are faced with groups writing software that only works
351: with particular distributions of Linux. From this we get software that
352: not only isn't very portable, but often not particularly stable. Our
353: idealistic dreamer in the song loves running one, or more than one distribution
354: of Linux for a particular purpose. Unfortunately, the rest of us are left
355: with the unattractive choice of doing the same, or relying on
356: herculean efforts to port software that is being actively developed in a
357: way to discourage porting it to other platforms.

1161: Nearly 10 years ago Kirk McKusick wrote a history of
1162: the Berkeley Unix distributions for the
1.121 deraadt 1163: O'Reilly book "Open Sources: Voices from the Open Source Revolution".
1.104 deraadt 1164: We recommend you read his story, entitled
1165: <a href="http://oreilly.com/catalog/opensources/book/kirkmck.html">
1166: "Twenty Years of Berkeley Unix
1167: From AT&T-Owned to Freely Redistributable"</a>
1168: first, to see how Kirk remembers how we got here.
1169: Sadly, since it showed up in book form originally, this text has
1170: probably not been read by enough people.
1171: <br>
1172: <br>
1173: The USL(AT&T) vs BSDI/UCB court case settlement documents were
1174: not public until recently; their disclosure has made the facts more clear.
1175: But the story of how three people decided to free the BSD codebase
1176: of corporate pollution -- and release it freely -- is more interesting
1177: than the lawsuit which followed. Sure, a stupid lawsuit happened which
1178: hindered the acceptance of the BSD code during a critical period.
1179: But how did a bunch of guys go through the effort of replacing so
1180: much AT&T code in the first place? After all, companies had
1181: lots of really evil lawyers back then too -- were they not afraid?
1182: <br>
1183: <br>
1184: After a decade of development, most of the AT&T code had
1185: already been replaced by university researchers and their associates.
1186: So Keith Bostic, Mike Karels and Kirk McKusick (the main UCB CSRG group)
1187: started going through the 4.3BSD codebase to cleanse the rest.
1188: Keith, in particular, built a ragtag team (in those days, USENIX
1189: conferences were a gold mine for such team building) and led these
1190: rebels to rewrite and replace all the Imperial AT&T code, piece by
1191: piece, starting with the libraries and userland programs.
1192: Anyone who helped only got credit as a Contributor -- people like
1193: Chris Torek and a cast of .. hundreds more.
1194: <br>
1195: <br>
1.105 deraadt 1196: Then Mike and Kirk purified the kernel. After a bit more careful
1.104 deraadt 1197: checking, this led to the release of a clean tree called Net/2 which
1198: was given to the world in June 1991 -- the largest dump of free source
1199: code the world had ever received (for those days -- not modern monsters like OpenOffice).
1200: <br>
1201: <br>
1202: Some of these ragtags formed a company (BSDi) to sell a production system
1203: based on this free code base, and a year later Unix System Laboratories
1204: (basically AT&T) sued BSDi and UCB.
1205: Eventually AT&T lost and after a few trifling fixes (described in the
1206: lawsuit documents) the codebase was free. A few newer developments
1207: (and more free code) were added, and released in June 1994 as 4.4BSD-Lite.
1208: Just over 14 years later OpenBSD is releasing its own 4.4 release (and for
1209: a lot less than <a href=orders.html>$1000 per copy</a>).
1210: <br>
1211: <br>
1212: The OpenBSD 4.4 release is dedicated to Keith Bostic, Mike Karels, Kirk McKusick,
1213: and all of those who contributed to making Net/2 and 4.4BSD-Lite free.

1266: <br>
1267: And to this day the geekfolk say<br>
1268: Now did we win or lose?<br>
1269: They shoulda made 'em reprint<br>
1270: every book with proper dues<br>
1271: <br>
1272: And take out ads in major rags<br>
1273: apologetically<br>

1286: <br>
1287: And OpenBSD is here<br>
1288: to tell the story right<br>
1289: Once again the fight is fought<br>
1290: and kept in shining light<br>
1291: <br>
1292: And may the source be with you<br>

1335: In 1998 when a United Airlines plane was waiting in the queue at
1.102 deraadt 1336: Washington Dulles International Airport for take-off to New Orleans
1337: (where a Usenix conference was taking place), one man stood up from

1.96 deraadt 1341: and returned to the airport gangway. Security personnel ran onto
1.95 deraadt 1342: the plane and removed this man, Richard Stallman, from the plane.
1343: After Richard was removed from the plane, everyone else stayed
1344: onboard and continued their journey to New Orleans. A few
1345: OpenBSD developers were on that same plane, seated very closeby,
1346: so we have an accurate story of the events.

1359: requirement to be known as the authors. We follow a pattern of
1360: free source code distribution that started in the mid-1980's
1361: in Berkeley, from before Richard Stallman had any powerful
1362: influence which he could use so falsely.
1363: <br>
1364: <br>
1365: We have a development sub-tree called "ports". Our "ports" tree
1366: builds software that is 'found on the net' into packages that
1367: OpenBSD users can use more easily. A scaffold of Makefiles and
1368: scripts automatically fetch these pieces of software, apply
1369: patches as required by OpenBSD, and then build them into nice
1370: neat little tarballs. This is provided as a convenience for
1.97 okan 1371: users. The ports tree is maintained by OpenBSD entirely separately
1.95 deraadt 1372: from our main source tree. Some of the software which is fetched
1373: and compiled is not as free as we would like, but what can we do.
1374: All the other operating system projects make exactly the same
1375: decision, and provide these same conveniences to their users.
1376: <br>
1377: <br>
1378: Richard felt that this "ports tree" of ours made OpenBSD non-free.
1379: He came to our mailing lists and lectured to us specifically, yet
1380: he said nothing to the many other vendors who do the same; many of
1381: them donate to the FSF and perhaps that has something to do with it.
1382: Meanwhile, Richard has personally made sure that all the official
1383: GNU software -- including Emacs -- compiles and runs on Windows.
1384: <br>
1385: <br>
1386: That man is a false leader. He is a hypocrite. There may be some
1387: people who listen to him. But we don't listen to people who do not
1388: follow their own stupid rules.

1488: Those of us who work on OpenBSD are often asked why we do what we do.
1.91 merdely 1489: This song's lyrics express the core motivations and goals which have
1.90 deraadt 1490: remained unchanged over the years - secure, free, reliable software,
1491: that can be shared with anyone. Many other projects purport to share
1492: these same goals, and love to wrap themselves in a banner of "Open
1493: Source" and "Free Software". Given how many projects there are one
1494: would think it might be easy to stick to those goals, but it doesn't
1495: seem to work out that way. A variety of desires drag many projects
1496: away from the ideals very quickly.
1497: <p>
1.93 jmc 1498: Much of any operating system's usability depends on device support,
1.91 merdely 1499: and there are some very tempting alternative ways to support devices
1.90 deraadt 1500: available to those who will surrender their moral code. A project
1501: could compromise by entering into NDA agreements with vendors, or
1502: including binary objects in the operating system for which no source
1503: code exists, or tying their users down with contract terms hidden
1504: inside copyright notices. All of these choices surrender some subset
1505: of the ideals, and we simply will not do this. Sure, we care about
1506: getting devices working, but not at the expense of our original goals.
1507: <p>
1508: Of course since "free to share with anyone" is part of our goals,
1509: we've been at the forefront of many licensing and NDA issues,
1.91 merdely 1510: resulting in a good number of successes. This success had led to much
1.90 deraadt 1511: recognition for the advancement of Free Software causes, but has also
1512: led to other issues.
1513: <p>
1514: We fully admit that some BSD licensed software has been taken and used
1515: by many commercial entities, but contributions come back more often
1516: than people seem to know, and when they do, they're always still
1517: properly attributed to the original authors, and given back in the
1518: same spirit that they were given in the first place.
1519: <p>
1520: That's the best we can expect from companies. After all, we make our
1521: stuff so free so that everyone can benefit -- it remains a core goal;
1522: we really have not strayed at all in 10 years. But we can expect more
1523: from projects who talk about sharing -- such as the various Linux
1524: projects.
1525: <p>
1526: Now rather than seeing us as friends who can cooperatively improve all
1527: codebases, we are seen as foes who oppose the GPL. The participants
1528: of "the race" are being manipulated by the FSF and their legal arm, the
1529: SFLC, for the FSF's aims, rather than the goal of getting good source
1530: into Linux (and all other code bases). We don't want this to come off
1531: as some conspiracy theory, but we simply urge those developers caution
1532: -- they should ensure that the path they are being shown by those who
1533: have positioned themselves as leaders is still true. Run for yourself,
1534: not for their agenda.
1535: <p>
1536: The Race is there to be run, for ourselves, not for others. We do
1537: what we do to run our own race, and finish it the best we can. We
1538: don't rush off at every distraction, or worry how this will affect our
1539: image. We are here to have fun doing right.

1642: As developers of a free operating system, one of our prime responsibilities
1643: is device support. No matter how nice an operating system is, it remains
1644: useless and unusable without solid support for a wide percentage of the
1645: hardware that is available on the market. It is therefore rather unsurprising
1646: that more than half of our efforts focus on various aspects relating to
1647: device support.
1648: <p>
1.85 mbalmer 1649: Most parts of the operating system (from low kernel, through to libraries,
1.81 deraadt 1650: all the way up to X, and then even to applications) use fairly obvious
1651: interface layers, where the "communication protocols" or "argument passing"
1652: mechanisms (ie. APIs) can be understood by any developer who takes the
1653: time to read the free code. Device drivers pose an additional and significant
1654: challenge though: because many vendors refuse to document the exact behavior
1655: of their devices. The devices are black boxes. And often they are surprisingly
1656: weird, or even buggy.
1657: <p>
1658: When vendor documentation does not exist, the development process can
1659: become extremely hairy. Groups of developers have found themselves focused
1660: for months at a time, figuring out the most simple steps, simply because
1661: the hardware is a complete mystery. Access to documentation can ease
1662: these difficulties rapidly. However, getting access to the chip documentation
1663: from vendors is ... almost always a negotiation. If we had open access to
1.84 matthieu 1664: documentation, anyone would be able to see how simple all these devices
1.81 deraadt 1665: actually are, and device driver development would flourish (and not just in
1666: OpenBSD, either).
1667: <p>
1668: When we proceed into negotiations with vendors, asking for documentation,
1669: our position is often weak. One would assume that the modern market is fair,
1670: and that selling chips would be the primary focus of these vendors. But
1671: unfortunately a number of behemoth software vendors have spent the last 10 or

1.82 jsg 1676: A particularly nasty player in this regard has been the Linux vendors and
1.87 tom 1677: some Linux developers, who have played along with an American corporate model
1.81 deraadt 1678: of requiring NDAs for chip documentation. This has effectively put Linux

2037: OpenBSD emphasizes security. It also emphasizes openness. All the code
2038: is there for all to see. Blobs are vendor-compiled binary drivers
2039: without any source code. Hardware makers like them because they
2040: obscure the details of how to make their hardware work. They hide bugs
2041: and workarounds for bugs. Newer versions of blobs can weaken support
2042: for older hardware and motivate people to buy new hardware.<br>
2043: <br>
2044: <br>
2045: Blobs are expedient. Many other open source operating systems
2046: cheerfully incorporate them; in fact their users demand them.<br>
2047: <br>
2048: <br>
2049: But when you need to trust the system, how do you check the blob for
2050: quality? For adherence to standards? How do you know the blob contains
2051: no malicious code? No incompetent code? Inspection is impossible; you
2052: can only test the black box. And when it breaks, you have no idea why.<br>
2053: <br>
2054: <br>
2055: <ul>
2056: <li>Blobs can be 'de-supported' by vendors<br>
2057: at any time.<br>
2058: <br>
2059: <li>Blobs cannot be supported by developers.<br>
2060: <br>
2061: <li>Blobs cannot be fixed by developers.<br>

2063: <li>Blobs cannot be improved.<br>
2064: <br>
2065: <li>Blobs cannot be audited.<br>
2066: <br>
2067: <li>
2068: Blobs are specific to an architecture, thus<br>
2069: less portable.<br>
2070: <br>

2075: This release, like every OpenBSD release, contains OpenBSD and its
2076: source code. It runs on a wide variety of hardware. It contains many
2077: new features and improvements. OpenBSD does attempt to convince
2078: vendors to release documentation, and often reverse-engineers around
2079: the need for blobs. OpenBSD remains blob-free. Anyone can look at it,
2080: assess it, improve it. If it breaks, it can be fixed.

2236: cannot solve these issues.
1.58 deraadt 2237: <p>
2238: The driver was written by an OpenBSD developer, who cribbed parts
2239: of it from a FreeBSD driver written by an ex-Adaptec employee. But no
2240: public documentation exists, and Adaptec has dozens of cards with
2241: different firmware issues. All of this adds up to a very desperate
2242: development model -- it becomes very hard for the principle of
2243: "quality" to show its head.
2244: <p>
2245: RAID devices have two main qualities that people buy them for:
2246: <br>
2247: <ul>
1.60 pvalchev 2248: <li>Redundancy
1.58 deraadt 2249: <li>Repair
2250: </ul>
2251: You want a RAID unit to provide you with redundancy, so that if some drives
1.60 pvalchev 2252: fail, your data is not lost. But once a drive has failed, you require your
2253: array to (automatically, most likely) perform the operations to repair
1.58 deraadt 2254: itself, so that it is functioning perfectly again.
2255: <p>
2256: Some vendors (or like the above Adaptec case, ex-employee) have
2257: sometimes given us some documentation so that we could write drivers,
2258: so that their devices could support Redundancy. But these vendors have
2259: never given us any documentation for performing Repairs.
2260: <p>
2261: Instead these vendors have tried to pass out non-free RAID management
2262: tools. These are typically gigantic Linux binaries, or some crazy thing, that
1.67 jolan 2263: is supposed to work through a bizarre interface in the device driver, which
1.58 deraadt 2264: we are apparently supposed to write code for without any documentation.
2265: <p>
2266: And since we refuse to accept our users being forced into depending on
2267: vendor binaries, we have reverse engineered the management interface for
2268: the AMI controllers.
2269: <p>
2270: There is no great "intellectual property" in this stuff, it is all
2271: rather simple primitives. This is all that we need to implement
2272: basic RAID management:
2273: <ul>
2274: <li>SCSI transactions on the back-side busses
2275: <li>Discovering which drives are in which volumes
2276: <li>Being able to silence the buzzer
2277: <li>Marking a new drive as a Hot-Spare
2278: </ul>
2279: <p>
2280: The AMI driver needed to support these small primitive operations.
2281: And once we had that, we rely on something else which we know: Almost
2282: all the RAID controllers would need the same primitives.
2283: <p>
2284: Thus armed, we were able to write a generic framework which would later
2285: work on other vendors' RAID cards, that is, once we get documentation
2286: or do some reverse engineering for their products.
2287: <p>
1.60 pvalchev 2288: But having been ignored for so long by these vendors, it is not clear when (if
2289: ever) we will get around to writing that support for Adaptec RAID
1.58 deraadt 2290: controllers now. And Adaptec has gone and bought ICP Vortex, which
2291: may mean we can never get documentation for the
1.70 steven 2292: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=gdt&sektion=4">gdt(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 2293: controllers.
2294: The "Open Source Friendly liar" IBM owns Mylex, and Mylex has told us we
2295: would not get documentation, either.
2296: 3Ware has lied to us and our users so many times they make politicians
2297: look saintly.
2298: <p>
2299: Until other vendors give us documentation, if you want reliable RAID
2300: in OpenBSD, please buy
2301: <a href="http://www.lsilogic.com/products/megaraid/index.html">LSI/AMI</a>
2302: RAID cards. And everything

2399: For an operating system to get anywhere in "the market" it must have
2400: good device support.<br>
2401: <br>
2402: Ethernet was our first concern. Many vendors refused to supply
2403: programmers with programming documentation for these chipsets. Donald
2404: Becker (Linux) and Bill Paul (FreeBSD) changed the rules of the game
2405: here: They wrote drivers for the chipsets that they could get
2406: documentation for, and as they succeeded in writing more and more
2407: drivers, eventually closed vendors slowly opened up until most
2408: ethernet chipset documentation was available. Today, some vendors
2409: still resist releasing ethernet chipset documentation (ie. Broadcom,
1.62 brad 2410: Intel, Marvell/SysKonnect, NVIDIA) but the driver problem is mostly
1.46 henning 2411: solved in the ethernet market.<br>
1.44 deraadt 2412: <br>
2413: Similar problems have happened in the SCSI, IDE, and RAID markets.
2414: Again, the problem was solved by writing drivers for documented
2415: devices first. If the free software user communities use those drivers
2416: preferentially, it is a market loss for the secretive vendors.
2417: Another approach that has worked is to publish email addresses and
2418: phone numbers for the marketing department managers in these
2419: companies. These email campaigns have worked almost every time.<br>
2420: <br>
2421: The new frontier: 802.11 wireless chipsets.<br>
2422: <br>
2423: Over the last six months, this came to a head in the OpenBSD project.
2424: We asked our users to help us petition numerous vendors so that we
2425: could get chipset documentation or redistributable firmware. Certainly, we did
1.52 deraadt 2426: not succeed for some vendors. But we did influence some vendors, in
1.44 deraadt 2427: particular the Taiwanese (Ralink and Realtek), who have given us
2428: everything we need. We also reverse engineered the Atheros chipsets.<br>
2429: <br>
2430:
2431: Want to help us? Avoid
2432: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ipw">Intel Centrino</a>,
2433: Broadcom, TI, or Connexant PrismGT chipsets.
2434: Heck, avoid buying even regular

1.44 deraadt 2436: to send a message.
1.48 deraadt 2437: If you can, buy 802.11 products using chips by
1.44 deraadt 2438: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=rtw">Realtek</a>,
2439: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ral">Ralink</a>,

2442: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ath">Atheros</a>.
2443: Our manual pages attempt to explain which vendors (ie. D-Link) box
1.52 deraadt 2444: which chipsets into which product.
1.44 deraadt 2445: <br>
2446: <br>
2447: Send a message that open support for hardware matters. A vendor in
1.56 cloder 2448: Redmond largely continues their practices because they get
1.44 deraadt 2449: the chipset documentation years before everyone else does.
2450: What really upsets us the most is that some Linux vendors are signing
2451: Non-Disclosure Agreements with vendors, or contracts that let them
2452: distribute firmwares. Meanwhile both Linux and FSF head developers
1.49 nick 2453: are not asking their communities to help us in our efforts to free

2560: What is up with some free software providers?!
2561: They say "Here's something free! Oh wait, I changed my mind."
2562: <p>
2563: While not exactly bait-and-switch, this is something which
2564: has been causing the community continual grief, and therefore
2565: we decided to honour a few of the projects that have decided
1.41 deraadt 2566: to go non-free. After all.. having gone non-free, no one is
1.37 deraadt 2567: going to remember them in the end.
2568: <p>
2569: This song is dedicated to a few worthy groups who
2570: have made this Free-to-Non-Free transition with their
2571: offerings in the last few years:
2572: <ul>
2573: <li>David Dawes worked for years with a team of
2574: developers to make a free X11 distribution for us to use,
2575: called XFree86, 98% of which was based on entirely free
2576: code from MIT. Suddenly, one day, he decided that
2577: we must give him more credit (ie. advertise his name) or
2578: stop using it. Within about 4 months every project had
2579: told him to get stuffed, and the community has created a
2580: replacement effort.
1.41 deraadt 2581: Now his team cannot even keep their web pages up to date...
1.37 deraadt 2582: <p>
2583: <li>OpenBSD was the first operating system to integrate a
2584: packet filter, and it was the ipf codebase from Darren Reed
2585: that we chose. But a few years later he told us that we
2586: were not free to make changes to the code. So we deleted ipf,
2587: and our new packet filter far exceeds the capabilities of the
2588: one he wrote. And other projects are switching too...
2589: <p>
2590: <li>The Apache group started from the humble beginnings
2591: of just being 'a patchy' set of changes to a completely free
2592: web server of dubious quality. But the years have changed them,
2593: and what they supply is now quite non-free... released under
1.40 jolan 2594: a license so entangled in legalese that we have absolutely no
1.51 jcs 2595: doubt that there are encumbrances hidden within. Legal terms
1.37 deraadt 2596: protect. Who are they protecting? Not your freedom.
2597: </ul>
2598: So here's a goodbye to those three groups, and a warning to any
2599: others who will follow them:
2600: Make your stuff non-free, and something else will
2601: replace it.

2725: A common theme used by the comedy crew Monty Python was to emphasize
2726: and exaggerate ridiculousnesses that their target had imposed upon
2727: themselves. Few things could be considered as humorous as making a
2728: redundancy protocol... redundant; e.g. being forced to replace it by
2729: Cisco lawyers and IETF policy.
2730: <p>
2731: We've been working a few years now on our packet filtering software
2732: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>
2733: and it became time to add failover. We want to be able to set up pf
2734: firewalls side by side, and exchange the stateful information between
2735: them, so that in case of failure another could take over 'keep state'
2736: sessions. Our
2737: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>
2738: protocol solves this problem. However, on both sides of the firewall,
2739: it is also necessary to have all the regular hosts not see a
2740: network failure. The only reliable way to do this is for both
2741: firewall machines to have and use the same IP and MAC addresses. But
2742: the only real way to do that is to use multicast protocols.
2743: <p>
2744: The IETF community proposed work in this direction in the late
2745: 90's, however in 1997 Cisco informed them that they believed some of
2746: Cisco's patents covered the proposed IETF VRRP (Virtual Router
2747: Redundancy Protocol); on
2748: <a href="http://www.ietf.org/ietf/IPR/VRRP-CISCO">
2749: March 20, 1998 they went further and specifically named their HSRP
2750: "Hot Standby Router Protocol" patent</a>. Reputedly, they were upset
2751: that IETF had not simply adopted the flawed HSRP protocol as the
2752: standard solution for this problem. Despite this legal pressure, the
2753: IETF community forged ahead and published VRRP as a standard even
2754: though there was a patent in the space. Why?
1.144 deraadt 2755: <a href="http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/doc/ietf/vrrp/vrrp-minutes-97dec.txt">
1.30 deraadt 2756: There was much deliberation</a>
2757: at all levels of the IETF, and unfortunately for all of us the
2758: politicians within eventually decided to allow patented technology in
2759: standards -- as long as the patented technology is licensed under RAND
2760: (Reasonable And Non Discriminatory) terms. As free software
2761: programmers, we therefore find ourselves in the position that these
2762: RAND standards must not be implemented by us, and we must deviate from
2763: the standard. We find all this rather Unreasonable and Discriminatory
2764: and we *will* design competing protocols. Some standards organization,
2765: eh?
2766: <p>
2767: Due to some HSRP flaws fixed by VRRP and for compatibility with the
2768: (HSRP-licensed) VRRP implementations of their competitors, Cisco in
2769: recent times has largely abandoned HSRP and now relies on VRRP instead
2770: -- a protocol designed for and by the community, but for which they
2771: claim patent rights.
2772: <p>
2773: On August 7 2002, after many communications, Robert Barr (Cisco's
2774: lawyer) firmly informed the OpenBSD community that Cisco would defend
2775: its patents for VRRP implementations -- meaning basically that it was
2776: impossible for a free software group to produce a truly free
2777: implementation of the IETF standard protocol. Perhaps this is because
2778: Cisco and Alcatel are currently engaged in a pair of patent lawsuits; a
2779: small piece of which is Cisco attempting to use the HSRP patent
2780: against Alcatel for their use of VRRP. Some IETF working group
2781: members took note of our complaints,
1.122 deraadt 2782: <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20061109082106/http://lists.microshaft.org/pipermail/dmca_discuss/2003-April/004702.html">
1.30 deraadt 2783: however an attempt in April 2003 to have the IETF abandon the use of
2784: patented technology failed to "reach consensus" in the IETF</a>.
2785: <p>
2786: A few years ago, the W3C, who designs our web protocols, tried to move
2787: to a RAND policy as well (primarily because of pressure from Microsoft
2788: and Apple), but the community outrage was so overpowering that they
2789: backed down. Some standards groups use this policy, while others
2790: avoid it -- the one differentiation being the amount of corporate
1.55 tom 2791: participation. In the IETF, the pro-RAND agents work for AT&T,
1.30 deraadt 2792: Alcatel, IBM, Cisco, Microsoft, and other large companies. Since IETF
2793: is an open forum, they can blend in as the populace, and vote just
2794: like all others, except against the community.
2795: <p>
2796: Translation: In failing to "reach consensus", the companies who
2797: benefit from RAND won, and the community lost again.
2798: <p>
2799: Left with little choice, we proceeded to reinvent the wheel or, more
2800: correctly, abandon the wheel entirely and go for a "hovercraft". We
2801: designed CARP (Common Address Redundancy Protocol) to solve the same
2802: problem that these other protocols are designed for, but without the
2803: same technological basis as HSRP and VRRP. We read the patent
2804: document carefully and ensured that CARP was fundamentally different.
2805: We also avoided many of the flaws in HSRP and VRRP (such as an inherent
2806: lack of security). And since we are OpenBSD developers, we designed
2807: it to use cryptography.
2808: <p>
2809: The combination of
2810: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>,
2811: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>, and
2812: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=carp&sektion=4">carp(4)</a>
2813: has permitted us to build highly redundant firewalls. To date, we
2814: have built a few networks that include as many as 4 firewalls, all
2815: running random reboot cycles. As long as one firewall is alive in a
2816: group, traffic through them moves smoothly and correctly for all of
2817: our packet filter functionality. Cisco's low end products are unable
2818: to do this reliably, and if they have high end products which can do
2819: this, you most certainly cannot afford them.
2820: <p>
2821: As a final note of course, when we petitioned IANA, the IETF body
2822: regulating "official" internet protocol numbers, to give us numbers
2823: for CARP and pfsync our request was denied. Apparently we had failed
2824: to go through an official standards organization. Consequently we
2825: were forced to choose a protocol number which would not conflict with
2826: anything else of value, and decided to place CARP at IP protocol 112.
2827: We also placed pfsync at an open and unused number. We informed IANA of
2828: these decisions, but they declined to reply.
2829: <p>
2830: This ridiculous situation then inspired one of our developers to create
2831: this parody of the well-known Monty Python skit and song.

3121: Join Puffy Hood and his Funny Fish as they take on
1.26 deraadt 3122: the Sheriff (an unelected leader) and other evil
1.20 deraadt 3123: forces of the draconian government!
3124: <p>
3125: <br>
3126: As we did for the 3.3 release, we have once again tried
3127: making release artwork and music which are allegorical
3128: of recent happenings.
3129: <p>
3130: Two years ago we became involved with the University
3131: of Pennsylvania and DARPA, who were funding us to do
3132: security research and development .. on things that
3133: we were already intending to do. We provided ideas,
3134: wrote papers, and deployed cutting-edge technology;
3135: DARPA provided finances and reaped a share of the
3136: credit, and the University of Pennsylvania acted as
3137: a middle-man. We accepted funding based on the
3138: promise that our freedom to operate as we wished
3139: was unaffected. To us, freedom is more important
1.21 deraadt 3140: than funding -- heck, we were dealing with the evil
1.20 deraadt 3141: forces of government, and needed to be careful.
3142: <p>
3143: A few months prior to this release, DARPA suddenly
3144: and without warning decided to withdraw that funding;
3145: they also aggressively backed out of contractual
3146: obligations. Many articles in the <a href=press.html>press</a> followed regarding
1.67 jolan 3147: this sudden maneuver. Apparently this hoopla happened
1.20 deraadt 3148: because an OpenBSD-related article in the Canadian
1.55 tom 3149: newspaper The Globe & Mail had quoted Theo de Raadt
1.20 deraadt 3150: making anti-war statements regarding Iraq and the
3151: theft of oil.
3152: <p>
3153: The only answer given (to major media reporters) by a
3154: DARPA spokesperson (Jan Walker) was this:
3155: <p>
3156: "As a result of the DARPA review of the
3157: project, and due to world events and the evolving
3158: threat posed by increasingly capable nation-states,
3159: the Government on April 21 advised the University
3160: to suspend work on the "security fest" portion of
3161: the project."
3162: <p>
3163: That almost toes the line of calling us terrorists!
3164: We had lost financial support, but the release of the
3165: statement above suddenly made us very happy to be free
3166: of any perceived obligation to such crazy people.
3167: <p>
3168: Since the termination came near natural contract
3169: termination (about 4 months remained), less damage
3170: than expected was sustained by the project. Sponsors
3171: stepped forward and helped us make up the missing funds
3172: we needed to run our "Hackathon", and the event
1.61 grunk 3173: proceeded as planned. We even had T-shirts made with
1.20 deraadt 3174: "Workstations of Mass Development" artwork for those
3175: developers who attended (sorry, they are not for sale).
3176: <p>
3177: We could not make stories like this up. So instead,
3178: we are making up an allegory about it, using the tale
3179: of Robin Hood.
