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>
1.146 ! guenther 140: In August of 2012, Philip Guenther started the OpenBSD work to
! 141: solve this.
! 142: After a year of work it was ready enough for merging, and in August 2013
! 143: the <b>time_t</b> type was changed to int64_t on all
! 144: platforms and the kernel and userland were adapted to the new
! 145: situation. The initial work was committed right after OpenBSD 5.4,
! 146: then polished in tree over the next 6 months.
1.144 deraadt 147: <p>
148: The next part of the process was to drag the "ports" software
1.146 ! guenther 149: ecosystem along because no one else had paved the way for 32-bit
1.144 deraadt 150: machines to run with 64-bit <b>time_t</b>. This required a fair
151: bit of upstream involvement. Thousands of fixes were required to
152: make both 32-bit and 64-bit time work transparently. There will
153: be more fixing in the future, but the concept is proven.
154: <p>
155: In the past OpenBSD pushed risky theoretical ideas into mainstream
156: software practice by proving the ecosystem was ready to change.
157: No OS wants to make a ABI jump until the case for change is proven.
158: Stack protection, ASLR, and W^X principles are now in common use
159: by mainline operating systems... because things like Firefox
160: and Postgresql don't break anymore. OpenBSD built that route.
161: <p>
162: In the same way, the road is paved for the 64-bit <b>time_t</b>
163: transition. Other operating systems can now make this jump.

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

1163: Nearly 10 years ago Kirk McKusick wrote a history of
1164: the Berkeley Unix distributions for the
1.121 deraadt 1165: O'Reilly book "Open Sources: Voices from the Open Source Revolution".
1.104 deraadt 1166: We recommend you read his story, entitled
1167: <a href="http://oreilly.com/catalog/opensources/book/kirkmck.html">
1168: "Twenty Years of Berkeley Unix
1169: From AT&T-Owned to Freely Redistributable"</a>
1170: first, to see how Kirk remembers how we got here.
1171: Sadly, since it showed up in book form originally, this text has
1172: probably not been read by enough people.
1173: <br>
1174: <br>
1175: The USL(AT&T) vs BSDI/UCB court case settlement documents were
1176: not public until recently; their disclosure has made the facts more clear.
1177: But the story of how three people decided to free the BSD codebase
1178: of corporate pollution -- and release it freely -- is more interesting
1179: than the lawsuit which followed. Sure, a stupid lawsuit happened which
1180: hindered the acceptance of the BSD code during a critical period.
1181: But how did a bunch of guys go through the effort of replacing so
1182: much AT&T code in the first place? After all, companies had
1183: lots of really evil lawyers back then too -- were they not afraid?
1184: <br>
1185: <br>
1186: After a decade of development, most of the AT&T code had
1187: already been replaced by university researchers and their associates.
1188: So Keith Bostic, Mike Karels and Kirk McKusick (the main UCB CSRG group)
1189: started going through the 4.3BSD codebase to cleanse the rest.
1190: Keith, in particular, built a ragtag team (in those days, USENIX
1191: conferences were a gold mine for such team building) and led these
1192: rebels to rewrite and replace all the Imperial AT&T code, piece by
1193: piece, starting with the libraries and userland programs.
1194: Anyone who helped only got credit as a Contributor -- people like
1195: Chris Torek and a cast of .. hundreds more.
1196: <br>
1197: <br>
1.105 deraadt 1198: Then Mike and Kirk purified the kernel. After a bit more careful
1.104 deraadt 1199: checking, this led to the release of a clean tree called Net/2 which
1200: was given to the world in June 1991 -- the largest dump of free source
1201: code the world had ever received (for those days -- not modern monsters like OpenOffice).
1202: <br>
1203: <br>
1204: Some of these ragtags formed a company (BSDi) to sell a production system
1205: based on this free code base, and a year later Unix System Laboratories
1206: (basically AT&T) sued BSDi and UCB.
1207: Eventually AT&T lost and after a few trifling fixes (described in the
1208: lawsuit documents) the codebase was free. A few newer developments
1209: (and more free code) were added, and released in June 1994 as 4.4BSD-Lite.
1210: Just over 14 years later OpenBSD is releasing its own 4.4 release (and for
1211: a lot less than <a href=orders.html>$1000 per copy</a>).
1212: <br>
1213: <br>
1214: The OpenBSD 4.4 release is dedicated to Keith Bostic, Mike Karels, Kirk McKusick,
1215: and all of those who contributed to making Net/2 and 4.4BSD-Lite free.

1268: <br>
1269: And to this day the geekfolk say<br>
1270: Now did we win or lose?<br>

1272: every book with proper dues<br>
1273: <br>
1274: And take out ads in major rags<br>
1275: apologetically<br>
1276: And maybe now it wouldn't be<br>

1286: Is there to fight for everyone<br>

1288: <br>
1289: And OpenBSD is here<br>
1290: to tell the story right<br>
1291: Once again the fight is fought<br>
1292: and kept in shining light<br>
1293: <br>
1294: And may the source be with you<br>

1.102 deraadt 1338: Washington Dulles International Airport for take-off to New Orleans
1339: (where a Usenix conference was taking place), one man stood up from

1345: After Richard was removed from the plane, everyone else stayed

1355: He prefers actions which he thinks are best for him -- and him
1356: alone -- and then lies to the public. Richard Stallman is no Spock.
1357: <br>
1358: <br>
1359: We release our software in ways that are maximally free. We
1360: remove all restrictions on use and distribution, but leave a
1361: requirement to be known as the authors. We follow a pattern of
1362: free source code distribution that started in the mid-1980's
1363: in Berkeley, from before Richard Stallman had any powerful
1364: influence which he could use so falsely.
1365: <br>
1366: <br>
1367: We have a development sub-tree called "ports". Our "ports" tree
1368: builds software that is 'found on the net' into packages that
1369: OpenBSD users can use more easily. A scaffold of Makefiles and
1370: scripts automatically fetch these pieces of software, apply
1371: patches as required by OpenBSD, and then build them into nice
1372: neat little tarballs. This is provided as a convenience for
1.97 okan 1373: users. The ports tree is maintained by OpenBSD entirely separately
1.95 deraadt 1374: from our main source tree. Some of the software which is fetched
1375: and compiled is not as free as we would like, but what can we do.
1376: All the other operating system projects make exactly the same
1377: decision, and provide these same conveniences to their users.
1378: <br>
1379: <br>
1380: Richard felt that this "ports tree" of ours made OpenBSD non-free.
1381: He came to our mailing lists and lectured to us specifically, yet
1382: he said nothing to the many other vendors who do the same; many of
1383: them donate to the FSF and perhaps that has something to do with it.
1384: Meanwhile, Richard has personally made sure that all the official
1385: GNU software -- including Emacs -- compiles and runs on Windows.
1386: <br>
1387: <br>
1388: That man is a false leader. He is a hypocrite. There may be some
1389: people who listen to him. But we don't listen to people who do not
1390: follow their own stupid rules.

1490: Those of us who work on OpenBSD are often asked why we do what we do.
1.91 merdely 1491: This song's lyrics express the core motivations and goals which have
1.90 deraadt 1492: remained unchanged over the years - secure, free, reliable software,
1493: that can be shared with anyone. Many other projects purport to share
1494: these same goals, and love to wrap themselves in a banner of "Open
1495: Source" and "Free Software". Given how many projects there are one
1496: would think it might be easy to stick to those goals, but it doesn't
1497: seem to work out that way. A variety of desires drag many projects
1498: away from the ideals very quickly.
1499: <p>
1.93 jmc 1500: Much of any operating system's usability depends on device support,
1.91 merdely 1501: and there are some very tempting alternative ways to support devices
1.90 deraadt 1502: available to those who will surrender their moral code. A project
1503: could compromise by entering into NDA agreements with vendors, or
1504: including binary objects in the operating system for which no source
1505: code exists, or tying their users down with contract terms hidden
1506: inside copyright notices. All of these choices surrender some subset
1507: of the ideals, and we simply will not do this. Sure, we care about
1508: getting devices working, but not at the expense of our original goals.
1509: <p>
1510: Of course since "free to share with anyone" is part of our goals,
1511: we've been at the forefront of many licensing and NDA issues,
1.91 merdely 1512: resulting in a good number of successes. This success had led to much
1.90 deraadt 1513: recognition for the advancement of Free Software causes, but has also
1514: led to other issues.
1515: <p>
1516: We fully admit that some BSD licensed software has been taken and used
1517: by many commercial entities, but contributions come back more often
1518: than people seem to know, and when they do, they're always still
1519: properly attributed to the original authors, and given back in the
1520: same spirit that they were given in the first place.
1521: <p>
1522: That's the best we can expect from companies. After all, we make our
1523: stuff so free so that everyone can benefit -- it remains a core goal;
1524: we really have not strayed at all in 10 years. But we can expect more
1525: from projects who talk about sharing -- such as the various Linux
1526: projects.
1527: <p>
1528: Now rather than seeing us as friends who can cooperatively improve all
1529: codebases, we are seen as foes who oppose the GPL. The participants
1530: of "the race" are being manipulated by the FSF and their legal arm, the
1531: SFLC, for the FSF's aims, rather than the goal of getting good source
1532: into Linux (and all other code bases). We don't want this to come off
1533: as some conspiracy theory, but we simply urge those developers caution
1534: -- they should ensure that the path they are being shown by those who
1535: have positioned themselves as leaders is still true. Run for yourself,
1536: not for their agenda.
1537: <p>
1538: The Race is there to be run, for ourselves, not for others. We do
1539: what we do to run our own race, and finish it the best we can. We
1540: don't rush off at every distraction, or worry how this will affect our
1541: image. We are here to have fun doing right.

1644: As developers of a free operating system, one of our prime responsibilities
1645: is device support. No matter how nice an operating system is, it remains
1646: useless and unusable without solid support for a wide percentage of the
1647: hardware that is available on the market. It is therefore rather unsurprising
1648: that more than half of our efforts focus on various aspects relating to
1649: device support.
1650: <p>
1.85 mbalmer 1651: Most parts of the operating system (from low kernel, through to libraries,
1.81 deraadt 1652: all the way up to X, and then even to applications) use fairly obvious
1653: interface layers, where the "communication protocols" or "argument passing"
1654: mechanisms (ie. APIs) can be understood by any developer who takes the
1655: time to read the free code. Device drivers pose an additional and significant
1656: challenge though: because many vendors refuse to document the exact behavior
1657: of their devices. The devices are black boxes. And often they are surprisingly
1658: weird, or even buggy.
1659: <p>
1660: When vendor documentation does not exist, the development process can
1661: become extremely hairy. Groups of developers have found themselves focused
1662: for months at a time, figuring out the most simple steps, simply because
1663: the hardware is a complete mystery. Access to documentation can ease
1664: these difficulties rapidly. However, getting access to the chip documentation
1665: from vendors is ... almost always a negotiation. If we had open access to
1.84 matthieu 1666: documentation, anyone would be able to see how simple all these devices
1.81 deraadt 1667: actually are, and device driver development would flourish (and not just in
1668: OpenBSD, either).
1669: <p>
1670: When we proceed into negotiations with vendors, asking for documentation,
1671: our position is often weak. One would assume that the modern market is fair,
1672: and that selling chips would be the primary focus of these vendors. But
1673: unfortunately a number of behemoth software vendors have spent the last 10 or

1.82 jsg 1678: A particularly nasty player in this regard has been the Linux vendors and
1.87 tom 1679: some Linux developers, who have played along with an American corporate model
1.81 deraadt 1680: of requiring NDAs for chip documentation. This has effectively put Linux

2039: OpenBSD emphasizes security. It also emphasizes openness. All the code
2040: is there for all to see. Blobs are vendor-compiled binary drivers
2041: without any source code. Hardware makers like them because they
2042: obscure the details of how to make their hardware work. They hide bugs
2043: and workarounds for bugs. Newer versions of blobs can weaken support
2044: for older hardware and motivate people to buy new hardware.<br>
2045: <br>
2046: <br>
2047: Blobs are expedient. Many other open source operating systems
2048: cheerfully incorporate them; in fact their users demand them.<br>
2049: <br>
2050: <br>
2051: But when you need to trust the system, how do you check the blob for
2052: quality? For adherence to standards? How do you know the blob contains
2053: no malicious code? No incompetent code? Inspection is impossible; you
2054: can only test the black box. And when it breaks, you have no idea why.<br>
2055: <br>
2056: <br>
2057: <ul>
2058: <li>Blobs can be 'de-supported' by vendors<br>
2059: at any time.<br>
2060: <br>
2061: <li>Blobs cannot be supported by developers.<br>
2062: <br>

2065: <li>Blobs cannot be improved.<br>
2066: <br>
2067: <li>Blobs cannot be audited.<br>
2068: <br>

2070: Blobs are specific to an architecture, thus<br>
2071: less portable.<br>
2072: <br>

2077: This release, like every OpenBSD release, contains OpenBSD and its
2078: source code. It runs on a wide variety of hardware. It contains many
2079: new features and improvements. OpenBSD does attempt to convince
2080: vendors to release documentation, and often reverse-engineers around
2081: the need for blobs. OpenBSD remains blob-free. Anyone can look at it,
2082: assess it, improve it. If it breaks, it can be fixed.

2232: They refused to give us documentation. Without documentation, support
2233: for their controller had always been poor. The driver had bugs (which
2234: affected some users more than others) which caused crashes, and of
2235: course there was no RAID management support. Apparently most of these
1.59 jolan 2236: bugs are because the Adaptec controllers have numerous buggy firmware
2237: issues which require careful workarounds; without documentation we
2238: cannot solve these issues.
1.58 deraadt 2239: <p>
2240: The driver was written by an OpenBSD developer, who cribbed parts
2241: of it from a FreeBSD driver written by an ex-Adaptec employee. But no
2242: public documentation exists, and Adaptec has dozens of cards with
2243: different firmware issues. All of this adds up to a very desperate
2244: development model -- it becomes very hard for the principle of
2245: "quality" to show its head.
2246: <p>
2247: RAID devices have two main qualities that people buy them for:
2248: <br>
2249: <ul>
1.60 pvalchev 2250: <li>Redundancy
1.58 deraadt 2251: <li>Repair
2252: </ul>
2253: You want a RAID unit to provide you with redundancy, so that if some drives
1.60 pvalchev 2254: fail, your data is not lost. But once a drive has failed, you require your
2255: array to (automatically, most likely) perform the operations to repair
1.58 deraadt 2256: itself, so that it is functioning perfectly again.
2257: <p>
2258: Some vendors (or like the above Adaptec case, ex-employee) have
2259: sometimes given us some documentation so that we could write drivers,
2260: so that their devices could support Redundancy. But these vendors have
2261: never given us any documentation for performing Repairs.
2262: <p>
2263: Instead these vendors have tried to pass out non-free RAID management
2264: tools. These are typically gigantic Linux binaries, or some crazy thing, that
1.67 jolan 2265: is supposed to work through a bizarre interface in the device driver, which
1.58 deraadt 2266: we are apparently supposed to write code for without any documentation.
2267: <p>
2268: And since we refuse to accept our users being forced into depending on
2269: vendor binaries, we have reverse engineered the management interface for
2270: the AMI controllers.
2271: <p>
2272: There is no great "intellectual property" in this stuff, it is all
2273: rather simple primitives. This is all that we need to implement
2274: basic RAID management:
2275: <ul>
2276: <li>SCSI transactions on the back-side busses
2277: <li>Discovering which drives are in which volumes
2278: <li>Being able to silence the buzzer
2279: <li>Marking a new drive as a Hot-Spare
2280: </ul>
2281: <p>
2282: The AMI driver needed to support these small primitive operations.
2283: And once we had that, we rely on something else which we know: Almost
2284: all the RAID controllers would need the same primitives.
2285: <p>
2286: Thus armed, we were able to write a generic framework which would later
2287: work on other vendors' RAID cards, that is, once we get documentation
2288: or do some reverse engineering for their products.
2289: <p>
1.60 pvalchev 2290: But having been ignored for so long by these vendors, it is not clear when (if
2291: ever) we will get around to writing that support for Adaptec RAID
1.58 deraadt 2292: controllers now. And Adaptec has gone and bought ICP Vortex, which
2293: may mean we can never get documentation for the
1.70 steven 2294: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=gdt&sektion=4">gdt(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 2295: controllers.
2296: The "Open Source Friendly liar" IBM owns Mylex, and Mylex has told us we
2297: would not get documentation, either.
2298: 3Ware has lied to us and our users so many times they make politicians
2299: look saintly.
2300: <p>
2301: Until other vendors give us documentation, if you want reliable RAID
2302: in OpenBSD, please buy
2303: <a href="http://www.lsilogic.com/products/megaraid/index.html">LSI/AMI</a>
2304: RAID cards. And everything

2401: For an operating system to get anywhere in "the market" it must have
2402: good device support.<br>
2403: <br>
2404: Ethernet was our first concern. Many vendors refused to supply
2405: programmers with programming documentation for these chipsets. Donald
2406: Becker (Linux) and Bill Paul (FreeBSD) changed the rules of the game
2407: here: They wrote drivers for the chipsets that they could get
2408: documentation for, and as they succeeded in writing more and more
2409: drivers, eventually closed vendors slowly opened up until most
2410: ethernet chipset documentation was available. Today, some vendors
2411: still resist releasing ethernet chipset documentation (ie. Broadcom,
1.62 brad 2412: Intel, Marvell/SysKonnect, NVIDIA) but the driver problem is mostly
1.46 henning 2413: solved in the ethernet market.<br>
1.44 deraadt 2414: <br>
2415: Similar problems have happened in the SCSI, IDE, and RAID markets.
2416: Again, the problem was solved by writing drivers for documented
2417: devices first. If the free software user communities use those drivers
2418: preferentially, it is a market loss for the secretive vendors.
2419: Another approach that has worked is to publish email addresses and
2420: phone numbers for the marketing department managers in these
2421: companies. These email campaigns have worked almost every time.<br>
2422: <br>
2423: The new frontier: 802.11 wireless chipsets.<br>
2424: <br>
2425: Over the last six months, this came to a head in the OpenBSD project.
2426: We asked our users to help us petition numerous vendors so that we
2427: could get chipset documentation or redistributable firmware. Certainly, we did
1.52 deraadt 2428: not succeed for some vendors. But we did influence some vendors, in
1.44 deraadt 2429: particular the Taiwanese (Ralink and Realtek), who have given us
2430: everything we need. We also reverse engineered the Atheros chipsets.<br>
2431: <br>
2432:
2433: Want to help us? Avoid
2434: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ipw">Intel Centrino</a>,
2435: Broadcom, TI, or Connexant PrismGT chipsets.
2436: Heck, avoid buying even regular
1.48 deraadt 2437: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=wi">old pre-G Prism products</a>,
1.44 deraadt 2438: to send a message.
1.48 deraadt 2439: If you can, buy 802.11 products using chips by
1.44 deraadt 2440: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=rtw">Realtek</a>,
2441: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ral">Ralink</a>,

2444: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ath">Atheros</a>.
2445: Our manual pages attempt to explain which vendors (ie. D-Link) box
1.52 deraadt 2446: which chipsets into which product.
1.44 deraadt 2447: <br>
2448: <br>
2449: Send a message that open support for hardware matters. A vendor in
1.56 cloder 2450: Redmond largely continues their practices because they get
1.44 deraadt 2451: the chipset documentation years before everyone else does.
2452: What really upsets us the most is that some Linux vendors are signing
2453: Non-Disclosure Agreements with vendors, or contracts that let them
2454: distribute firmwares. Meanwhile both Linux and FSF head developers
1.49 nick 2455: are not asking their communities to help us in our efforts to free

2457: telling their development communities to not work with us at

2563: They say "Here's something free! Oh wait, I changed my mind."
2564: <p>
2565: While not exactly bait-and-switch, this is something which
2566: has been causing the community continual grief, and therefore
2567: we decided to honour a few of the projects that have decided

2570: <p>
2571: This song is dedicated to a few worthy groups who
2572: have made this Free-to-Non-Free transition with their
2573: offerings in the last few years:
2574: <ul>
2575: <li>David Dawes worked for years with a team of
2576: developers to make a free X11 distribution for us to use,
2577: called XFree86, 98% of which was based on entirely free
2578: code from MIT. Suddenly, one day, he decided that
2579: we must give him more credit (ie. advertise his name) or
2580: stop using it. Within about 4 months every project had
2581: told him to get stuffed, and the community has created a
2582: replacement effort.
1.41 deraadt 2583: Now his team cannot even keep their web pages up to date...
1.37 deraadt 2584: <p>
2585: <li>OpenBSD was the first operating system to integrate a
2586: packet filter, and it was the ipf codebase from Darren Reed
2587: that we chose. But a few years later he told us that we
2588: were not free to make changes to the code. So we deleted ipf,
2589: and our new packet filter far exceeds the capabilities of the
2590: one he wrote. And other projects are switching too...
2591: <p>
2592: <li>The Apache group started from the humble beginnings
2593: of just being 'a patchy' set of changes to a completely free
2594: web server of dubious quality. But the years have changed them,
2595: and what they supply is now quite non-free... released under
1.40 jolan 2596: a license so entangled in legalese that we have absolutely no
1.51 jcs 2597: doubt that there are encumbrances hidden within. Legal terms
1.37 deraadt 2598: protect. Who are they protecting? Not your freedom.
2599: </ul>
2600: So here's a goodbye to those three groups, and a warning to any
2601: others who will follow them:
2602: Make your stuff non-free, and something else will
2603: replace it.

2727: A common theme used by the comedy crew Monty Python was to emphasize
2728: and exaggerate ridiculousnesses that their target had imposed upon
2729: themselves. Few things could be considered as humorous as making a
2730: redundancy protocol... redundant; e.g. being forced to replace it by
2731: Cisco lawyers and IETF policy.
2732: <p>
2733: We've been working a few years now on our packet filtering software
2734: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>
2735: and it became time to add failover. We want to be able to set up pf
2736: firewalls side by side, and exchange the stateful information between
2737: them, so that in case of failure another could take over 'keep state'
2738: sessions. Our
2739: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>
2740: protocol solves this problem. However, on both sides of the firewall,
2741: it is also necessary to have all the regular hosts not see a
2742: network failure. The only reliable way to do this is for both
2743: firewall machines to have and use the same IP and MAC addresses. But
2744: the only real way to do that is to use multicast protocols.
2745: <p>
2746: The IETF community proposed work in this direction in the late
2747: 90's, however in 1997 Cisco informed them that they believed some of
2748: Cisco's patents covered the proposed IETF VRRP (Virtual Router
2749: Redundancy Protocol); on
2750: <a href="http://www.ietf.org/ietf/IPR/VRRP-CISCO">
2751: March 20, 1998 they went further and specifically named their HSRP
2752: "Hot Standby Router Protocol" patent</a>. Reputedly, they were upset
2753: that IETF had not simply adopted the flawed HSRP protocol as the
2754: standard solution for this problem. Despite this legal pressure, the
2755: IETF community forged ahead and published VRRP as a standard even
2756: though there was a patent in the space. Why?
1.144 deraadt 2757: <a href="http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/doc/ietf/vrrp/vrrp-minutes-97dec.txt">
1.30 deraadt 2758: There was much deliberation</a>
2759: at all levels of the IETF, and unfortunately for all of us the
2760: politicians within eventually decided to allow patented technology in
2761: standards -- as long as the patented technology is licensed under RAND
2762: (Reasonable And Non Discriminatory) terms. As free software
2763: programmers, we therefore find ourselves in the position that these
2764: RAND standards must not be implemented by us, and we must deviate from
2765: the standard. We find all this rather Unreasonable and Discriminatory
2766: and we *will* design competing protocols. Some standards organization,
2767: eh?
2768: <p>
2769: Due to some HSRP flaws fixed by VRRP and for compatibility with the
2770: (HSRP-licensed) VRRP implementations of their competitors, Cisco in
2771: recent times has largely abandoned HSRP and now relies on VRRP instead
2772: -- a protocol designed for and by the community, but for which they
2773: claim patent rights.
2774: <p>
2775: On August 7 2002, after many communications, Robert Barr (Cisco's
2776: lawyer) firmly informed the OpenBSD community that Cisco would defend
2777: its patents for VRRP implementations -- meaning basically that it was
2778: impossible for a free software group to produce a truly free
2779: implementation of the IETF standard protocol. Perhaps this is because
2780: Cisco and Alcatel are currently engaged in a pair of patent lawsuits; a
2781: small piece of which is Cisco attempting to use the HSRP patent
2782: against Alcatel for their use of VRRP. Some IETF working group
2783: members took note of our complaints,
1.122 deraadt 2784: <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20061109082106/http://lists.microshaft.org/pipermail/dmca_discuss/2003-April/004702.html">
1.30 deraadt 2785: however an attempt in April 2003 to have the IETF abandon the use of
2786: patented technology failed to "reach consensus" in the IETF</a>.
2787: <p>
2788: A few years ago, the W3C, who designs our web protocols, tried to move
2789: to a RAND policy as well (primarily because of pressure from Microsoft
2790: and Apple), but the community outrage was so overpowering that they
2791: backed down. Some standards groups use this policy, while others
2792: avoid it -- the one differentiation being the amount of corporate
1.55 tom 2793: participation. In the IETF, the pro-RAND agents work for AT&T,
1.30 deraadt 2794: Alcatel, IBM, Cisco, Microsoft, and other large companies. Since IETF
2795: is an open forum, they can blend in as the populace, and vote just
2796: like all others, except against the community.
2797: <p>
2798: Translation: In failing to "reach consensus", the companies who
2799: benefit from RAND won, and the community lost again.
2800: <p>
2801: Left with little choice, we proceeded to reinvent the wheel or, more
2802: correctly, abandon the wheel entirely and go for a "hovercraft". We
2803: designed CARP (Common Address Redundancy Protocol) to solve the same
2804: problem that these other protocols are designed for, but without the
2805: same technological basis as HSRP and VRRP. We read the patent
2806: document carefully and ensured that CARP was fundamentally different.
2807: We also avoided many of the flaws in HSRP and VRRP (such as an inherent
2808: lack of security). And since we are OpenBSD developers, we designed
2809: it to use cryptography.
2810: <p>
2811: The combination of
2812: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>,
2813: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>, and
2814: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=carp&sektion=4">carp(4)</a>
2815: has permitted us to build highly redundant firewalls. To date, we
2816: have built a few networks that include as many as 4 firewalls, all
2817: running random reboot cycles. As long as one firewall is alive in a
2818: group, traffic through them moves smoothly and correctly for all of
2819: our packet filter functionality. Cisco's low end products are unable
2820: to do this reliably, and if they have high end products which can do
2821: this, you most certainly cannot afford them.
2822: <p>
2823: As a final note of course, when we petitioned IANA, the IETF body
2824: regulating "official" internet protocol numbers, to give us numbers
2825: for CARP and pfsync our request was denied. Apparently we had failed
2826: to go through an official standards organization. Consequently we
2827: were forced to choose a protocol number which would not conflict with
2828: anything else of value, and decided to place CARP at IP protocol 112.
2829: We also placed pfsync at an open and unused number. We informed IANA of
2830: these decisions, but they declined to reply.
2831: <p>
2832: This ridiculous situation then inspired one of our developers to create
2833: this parody of the well-known Monty Python skit and song.

3123: Join Puffy Hood and his Funny Fish as they take on
1.26 deraadt 3124: the Sheriff (an unelected leader) and other evil
1.20 deraadt 3125: forces of the draconian government!
3126: <p>
3127: <br>
3128: As we did for the 3.3 release, we have once again tried
3129: making release artwork and music which are allegorical
3130: of recent happenings.
3131: <p>
3132: Two years ago we became involved with the University
3133: of Pennsylvania and DARPA, who were funding us to do
3134: security research and development .. on things that
3135: we were already intending to do. We provided ideas,
3136: wrote papers, and deployed cutting-edge technology;
3137: DARPA provided finances and reaped a share of the
3138: credit, and the University of Pennsylvania acted as
3139: a middle-man. We accepted funding based on the
3140: promise that our freedom to operate as we wished
3141: was unaffected. To us, freedom is more important
1.21 deraadt 3142: than funding -- heck, we were dealing with the evil
1.20 deraadt 3143: forces of government, and needed to be careful.
3144: <p>
3145: A few months prior to this release, DARPA suddenly
3146: and without warning decided to withdraw that funding;
3147: they also aggressively backed out of contractual
3148: obligations. Many articles in the <a href=press.html>press</a> followed regarding
1.67 jolan 3149: this sudden maneuver. Apparently this hoopla happened
1.20 deraadt 3150: because an OpenBSD-related article in the Canadian
1.55 tom 3151: newspaper The Globe & Mail had quoted Theo de Raadt
1.20 deraadt 3152: making anti-war statements regarding Iraq and the
3153: theft of oil.
3154: <p>
3155: The only answer given (to major media reporters) by a
3156: DARPA spokesperson (Jan Walker) was this:
3157: <p>
3158: "As a result of the DARPA review of the
3159: project, and due to world events and the evolving
3160: threat posed by increasingly capable nation-states,
3161: the Government on April 21 advised the University
3162: to suspend work on the "security fest" portion of
3163: the project."
3164: <p>
3165: That almost toes the line of calling us terrorists!
3166: We had lost financial support, but the release of the
3167: statement above suddenly made us very happy to be free
3168: of any perceived obligation to such crazy people.
3169: <p>
3170: Since the termination came near natural contract
3171: termination (about 4 months remained), less damage
3172: than expected was sustained by the project. Sponsors
3173: stepped forward and helped us make up the missing funds
3174: we needed to run our "Hackathon", and the event
1.61 grunk 3175: proceeded as planned. We even had T-shirts made with
1.20 deraadt 3176: "Workstations of Mass Development" artwork for those
3177: developers who attended (sorry, they are not for sale).
3178: <p>
3179: We could not make stories like this up. So instead,
3180: we are making up an allegory about it, using the tale
3181: of Robin Hood.
