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.

111: No one <b>wants</b> to fork an open source project: it's a huge
112: amount of work and isn't efficient in community time, but when you
113: wake up one day and find that a hole in the SSL library you're using
114: made world-wide news, and that the library's bad code style is
115: hiding exploit mitigation countermeasures, then suddenly forking
116: seems critically important. Two months of intense development later,
117: LibreSSL was released.
118: <p>
119: The bigger questions remain for the open source development community
120: to answer: why did this occur? Why is the OpenSSL code base so hard
121: to understand? Complexity is the enemy of security, so for something
122: whose raison d'être is security, why are secondary goals allowed
123: to endanger the absolute #1 goal? Or has OpenSSL become a brand which
124: allows companies to — on the cheap — meet security
125: "requirements" like FIPS instead of actually being secure?
126: <p>
1.149 deraadt 127: How important is it for developers and customers to have software
1.148 deraadt 128: where security is the goal? How much are they willing to push back
129: on the OS developers and others to achieve that? Can we set a new,
130: higher bar for best practices that will drive everyone to do more
131: than just posture?

185: In January of 2038, 32-bit Unix time will overflow and wrap
186: back to 1901. This is known as the
187: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem">Year 2038 problem</a>.
188: POSIX operating systems have made strong inroads into embedded
189: roles, so this is anticipated to be substantially worse than the Y2K transition.
190: <p>
1.146 guenther 191: In August of 2012, Philip Guenther started the OpenBSD work to
192: solve this.
193: After a year of work it was ready enough for merging, and in August 2013
194: the <b>time_t</b> type was changed to int64_t on all
195: platforms and the kernel and userland were adapted to the new
196: situation. The initial work was committed right after OpenBSD 5.4,
197: then polished in tree over the next 6 months.
1.144 deraadt 198: <p>
199: The next part of the process was to drag the "ports" software
1.146 guenther 200: ecosystem along because no one else had paved the way for 32-bit
1.144 deraadt 201: machines to run with 64-bit <b>time_t</b>. This required a fair
202: bit of upstream involvement. Thousands of fixes were required to
203: make both 32-bit and 64-bit time work transparently. There will
204: be more fixing in the future, but the concept is proven.
205: <p>
206: In the past OpenBSD pushed risky theoretical ideas into mainstream
207: software practice by proving the ecosystem was ready to change.
208: No OS wants to make a ABI jump until the case for change is proven.
209: Stack protection, ASLR, and W^X principles are now in common use
210: by mainline operating systems... because things like Firefox
211: and Postgresql don't break anymore. OpenBSD built that route.
212: <p>
213: In the same way, the road is paved for the 64-bit <b>time_t</b>
214: transition. Other operating systems can now make this jump.

1.132 beck 387: Just as the original song professed its love for Brazil, "World,
388: you'll love my Linux" is the passionate call of an idealistic dreamer
389: who can't bear the thought of software that will only run under
390: Windows, and yet loves the situation with software that will only run
391: under particular Linux distributions.
392: <p>
393: This problem has proliferated itself into the standards bodies, with
394: Posix adopting Linuxisms ahead of any other variant of Unix.
395: <p>
396: Posix and Unix have made it where you can write reasonably portable
397: software and have it compile and run across a multitude of platforms.
398: Now this seems to be changing as the love for Linux drives the
399: standards bodies into accepting everything Linux, good and bad.
400: <p>
401: We also are faced with groups writing software that only works
402: with particular distributions of Linux. From this we get software that
403: not only isn't very portable, but often not particularly stable. Our
404: idealistic dreamer in the song loves running one, or more than one distribution
405: of Linux for a particular purpose. Unfortunately, the rest of us are left
406: with the unattractive choice of doing the same, or relying on
407: herculean efforts to port software that is being actively developed in a
408: way to discourage porting it to other platforms.

1202: Nearly 10 years ago Kirk McKusick wrote a history of
1203: the Berkeley Unix distributions for the
1.121 deraadt 1204: O'Reilly book "Open Sources: Voices from the Open Source Revolution".
1.104 deraadt 1205: We recommend you read his story, entitled
1206: <a href="http://oreilly.com/catalog/opensources/book/kirkmck.html">
1207: "Twenty Years of Berkeley Unix
1208: From AT&T-Owned to Freely Redistributable"</a>
1209: first, to see how Kirk remembers how we got here.
1210: Sadly, since it showed up in book form originally, this text has
1211: probably not been read by enough people.
1212: <br>
1213: <br>
1214: The USL(AT&T) vs BSDI/UCB court case settlement documents were
1215: not public until recently; their disclosure has made the facts more clear.
1216: But the story of how three people decided to free the BSD codebase
1217: of corporate pollution -- and release it freely -- is more interesting
1218: than the lawsuit which followed. Sure, a stupid lawsuit happened which
1219: hindered the acceptance of the BSD code during a critical period.
1220: But how did a bunch of guys go through the effort of replacing so
1221: much AT&T code in the first place? After all, companies had
1222: lots of really evil lawyers back then too -- were they not afraid?
1223: <br>
1224: <br>
1225: After a decade of development, most of the AT&T code had
1226: already been replaced by university researchers and their associates.
1227: So Keith Bostic, Mike Karels and Kirk McKusick (the main UCB CSRG group)
1228: started going through the 4.3BSD codebase to cleanse the rest.
1229: Keith, in particular, built a ragtag team (in those days, USENIX
1230: conferences were a gold mine for such team building) and led these
1231: rebels to rewrite and replace all the Imperial AT&T code, piece by
1232: piece, starting with the libraries and userland programs.
1233: Anyone who helped only got credit as a Contributor -- people like
1234: Chris Torek and a cast of .. hundreds more.
1235: <br>
1236: <br>
1.105 deraadt 1237: Then Mike and Kirk purified the kernel. After a bit more careful
1.104 deraadt 1238: checking, this led to the release of a clean tree called Net/2 which
1239: was given to the world in June 1991 -- the largest dump of free source
1240: code the world had ever received (for those days -- not modern monsters like OpenOffice).
1241: <br>
1242: <br>
1243: Some of these ragtags formed a company (BSDi) to sell a production system
1244: based on this free code base, and a year later Unix System Laboratories
1245: (basically AT&T) sued BSDi and UCB.
1246: Eventually AT&T lost and after a few trifling fixes (described in the
1247: lawsuit documents) the codebase was free. A few newer developments
1248: (and more free code) were added, and released in June 1994 as 4.4BSD-Lite.
1249: Just over 14 years later OpenBSD is releasing its own 4.4 release (and for
1250: a lot less than <a href=orders.html>$1000 per copy</a>).
1251: <br>
1252: <br>
1253: The OpenBSD 4.4 release is dedicated to Keith Bostic, Mike Karels, Kirk McKusick,
1254: and all of those who contributed to making Net/2 and 4.4BSD-Lite free.

1306: to take it like a sport<br>
1307: <br>
1308: And to this day the geekfolk say<br>
1309: Now did we win or lose?<br>
1310: They shoulda made 'em reprint<br>
1311: every book with proper dues<br>
1312: <br>
1313: And take out ads in major rags<br>
1314: apologetically<br>
1315: And maybe now it wouldn't be<br>

1317: <br>

1327: <br>
1328: And OpenBSD is here<br>

1375: In 1998 when a United Airlines plane was waiting in the queue at
1.102 deraadt 1376: Washington Dulles International Airport for take-off to New Orleans
1377: (where a Usenix conference was taking place), one man stood up from
1378: his seat, demanded that they stop waiting in the queue and be permitted
1.95 deraadt 1379: to deplane. Even after orders from the crew and a pilot from
1380: the cockpit he refused to sit down. The plane exited the queue
1.96 deraadt 1381: and returned to the airport gangway. Security personnel ran onto
1.95 deraadt 1382: the plane and removed this man, Richard Stallman, from the plane.
1383: After Richard was removed from the plane, everyone else stayed
1384: onboard and continued their journey to New Orleans. A few
1385: OpenBSD developers were on that same plane, seated very closeby,
1386: so we have an accurate story of the events.
1387: <br>
1388: <br>
1389: This is the man who presumes that he should preach to us
1390: about morality, freedom, and what is best for us. He believes
1391: it is his God-given role to tell us what is best for us, when he
1392: has shown that he takes actions which are not best for everyone.
1393: He prefers actions which he thinks are best for him -- and him
1394: alone -- and then lies to the public. Richard Stallman is no Spock.
1395: <br>
1396: <br>
1397: We release our software in ways that are maximally free. We
1398: remove all restrictions on use and distribution, but leave a
1399: requirement to be known as the authors. We follow a pattern of
1400: free source code distribution that started in the mid-1980's
1401: in Berkeley, from before Richard Stallman had any powerful
1402: influence which he could use so falsely.
1403: <br>
1404: <br>
1405: We have a development sub-tree called "ports". Our "ports" tree
1406: builds software that is 'found on the net' into packages that
1407: OpenBSD users can use more easily. A scaffold of Makefiles and
1408: scripts automatically fetch these pieces of software, apply
1409: patches as required by OpenBSD, and then build them into nice
1410: neat little tarballs. This is provided as a convenience for
1.97 okan 1411: users. The ports tree is maintained by OpenBSD entirely separately
1.95 deraadt 1412: from our main source tree. Some of the software which is fetched
1413: and compiled is not as free as we would like, but what can we do.
1414: All the other operating system projects make exactly the same
1415: decision, and provide these same conveniences to their users.
1416: <br>
1417: <br>
1418: Richard felt that this "ports tree" of ours made OpenBSD non-free.
1419: He came to our mailing lists and lectured to us specifically, yet
1420: he said nothing to the many other vendors who do the same; many of
1421: them donate to the FSF and perhaps that has something to do with it.
1422: Meanwhile, Richard has personally made sure that all the official
1423: GNU software -- including Emacs -- compiles and runs on Windows.
1424: <br>
1425: <br>
1426: That man is a false leader. He is a hypocrite. There may be some
1427: people who listen to him. But we don't listen to people who do not
1428: follow their own stupid rules.

1527: Those of us who work on OpenBSD are often asked why we do what we do.
1.91 merdely 1528: This song's lyrics express the core motivations and goals which have
1.90 deraadt 1529: remained unchanged over the years - secure, free, reliable software,
1530: that can be shared with anyone. Many other projects purport to share
1531: these same goals, and love to wrap themselves in a banner of "Open
1532: Source" and "Free Software". Given how many projects there are one
1533: would think it might be easy to stick to those goals, but it doesn't
1534: seem to work out that way. A variety of desires drag many projects
1535: away from the ideals very quickly.
1536: <p>
1.93 jmc 1537: Much of any operating system's usability depends on device support,
1.91 merdely 1538: and there are some very tempting alternative ways to support devices
1.90 deraadt 1539: available to those who will surrender their moral code. A project
1540: could compromise by entering into NDA agreements with vendors, or
1541: including binary objects in the operating system for which no source
1542: code exists, or tying their users down with contract terms hidden
1543: inside copyright notices. All of these choices surrender some subset
1544: of the ideals, and we simply will not do this. Sure, we care about
1545: getting devices working, but not at the expense of our original goals.
1546: <p>
1547: Of course since "free to share with anyone" is part of our goals,
1548: we've been at the forefront of many licensing and NDA issues,
1.91 merdely 1549: resulting in a good number of successes. This success had led to much
1.90 deraadt 1550: recognition for the advancement of Free Software causes, but has also
1551: led to other issues.
1552: <p>
1553: We fully admit that some BSD licensed software has been taken and used
1554: by many commercial entities, but contributions come back more often
1555: than people seem to know, and when they do, they're always still
1556: properly attributed to the original authors, and given back in the
1557: same spirit that they were given in the first place.
1558: <p>
1559: That's the best we can expect from companies. After all, we make our
1560: stuff so free so that everyone can benefit -- it remains a core goal;
1561: we really have not strayed at all in 10 years. But we can expect more
1562: from projects who talk about sharing -- such as the various Linux
1563: projects.
1564: <p>
1565: Now rather than seeing us as friends who can cooperatively improve all
1566: codebases, we are seen as foes who oppose the GPL. The participants
1567: of "the race" are being manipulated by the FSF and their legal arm, the
1568: SFLC, for the FSF's aims, rather than the goal of getting good source
1569: into Linux (and all other code bases). We don't want this to come off
1570: as some conspiracy theory, but we simply urge those developers caution
1571: -- they should ensure that the path they are being shown by those who
1572: have positioned themselves as leaders is still true. Run for yourself,
1573: not for their agenda.
1574: <p>
1575: The Race is there to be run, for ourselves, not for others. We do
1576: what we do to run our own race, and finish it the best we can. We
1577: don't rush off at every distraction, or worry how this will affect our
1578: image. We are here to have fun doing right.

1680: As developers of a free operating system, one of our prime responsibilities
1681: is device support. No matter how nice an operating system is, it remains
1682: useless and unusable without solid support for a wide percentage of the
1683: hardware that is available on the market. It is therefore rather unsurprising
1684: that more than half of our efforts focus on various aspects relating to
1685: device support.
1686: <p>
1.85 mbalmer 1687: Most parts of the operating system (from low kernel, through to libraries,
1.81 deraadt 1688: all the way up to X, and then even to applications) use fairly obvious
1689: interface layers, where the "communication protocols" or "argument passing"
1690: mechanisms (ie. APIs) can be understood by any developer who takes the
1691: time to read the free code. Device drivers pose an additional and significant
1692: challenge though: because many vendors refuse to document the exact behavior
1693: of their devices. The devices are black boxes. And often they are surprisingly
1694: weird, or even buggy.
1695: <p>
1696: When vendor documentation does not exist, the development process can
1697: become extremely hairy. Groups of developers have found themselves focused
1698: for months at a time, figuring out the most simple steps, simply because
1699: the hardware is a complete mystery. Access to documentation can ease
1700: these difficulties rapidly. However, getting access to the chip documentation
1701: from vendors is ... almost always a negotiation. If we had open access to
1.84 matthieu 1702: documentation, anyone would be able to see how simple all these devices
1.81 deraadt 1703: actually are, and device driver development would flourish (and not just in
1704: OpenBSD, either).
1705: <p>
1706: When we proceed into negotiations with vendors, asking for documentation,
1707: our position is often weak. One would assume that the modern market is fair,
1708: and that selling chips would be the primary focus of these vendors. But
1709: unfortunately a number of behemoth software vendors have spent the last 10 or

1.87 tom 1715: some Linux developers, who have played along with an American corporate model
1.81 deraadt 1716: of requiring NDAs for chip documentation. This has effectively put Linux

2072: OpenBSD emphasizes security. It also emphasizes openness. All the code

2074: without any source code. Hardware makers like them because they
2075: obscure the details of how to make their hardware work. They hide bugs

2082: <br>
2083: <br>
2084: But when you need to trust the system, how do you check the blob for
2085: quality? For adherence to standards? How do you know the blob contains
2086: no malicious code? No incompetent code? Inspection is impossible; you
2087: can only test the black box. And when it breaks, you have no idea why.<br>
2088: <br>

2112: new features and improvements. OpenBSD does attempt to convince
2113: vendors to release documentation, and often reverse-engineers around
2114: the need for blobs. OpenBSD remains blob-free. Anyone can look at it,
2115: assess it, improve it. If it breaks, it can be fixed.

2255: For a multitude of (stupid) reasons, vendors often attempt to lock
2256: out our participation with their customers by refusing to give our
2257: programmers sufficient documentation so that we can properly support
2258: their devices.
2259: <p>
2260: Take Adaptec for instance. Before the 3.7 release we disabled support
2261: for the
1.70 steven 2262: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=aac&sektion=4">aac(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 2263: Adaptec RAID driver because negotiations with the Adaptec had failed.
2264: They refused to give us documentation. Without documentation, support
2265: for their controller had always been poor. The driver had bugs (which
2266: affected some users more than others) which caused crashes, and of
2267: course there was no RAID management support. Apparently most of these
1.59 jolan 2268: bugs are because the Adaptec controllers have numerous buggy firmware
2269: issues which require careful workarounds; without documentation we
2270: cannot solve these issues.
1.58 deraadt 2271: <p>
2272: The driver was written by an OpenBSD developer, who cribbed parts
2273: of it from a FreeBSD driver written by an ex-Adaptec employee. But no
2274: public documentation exists, and Adaptec has dozens of cards with
2275: different firmware issues. All of this adds up to a very desperate
2276: development model -- it becomes very hard for the principle of
2277: "quality" to show its head.
2278: <p>
2279: RAID devices have two main qualities that people buy them for:
2280: <br>
2281: <ul>
1.60 pvalchev 2282: <li>Redundancy
1.58 deraadt 2283: <li>Repair
2284: </ul>
2285: You want a RAID unit to provide you with redundancy, so that if some drives
1.60 pvalchev 2286: fail, your data is not lost. But once a drive has failed, you require your
2287: array to (automatically, most likely) perform the operations to repair
1.58 deraadt 2288: itself, so that it is functioning perfectly again.
2289: <p>
2290: Some vendors (or like the above Adaptec case, ex-employee) have
2291: sometimes given us some documentation so that we could write drivers,
2292: so that their devices could support Redundancy. But these vendors have
2293: never given us any documentation for performing Repairs.
2294: <p>
2295: Instead these vendors have tried to pass out non-free RAID management
2296: tools. These are typically gigantic Linux binaries, or some crazy thing, that
1.67 jolan 2297: is supposed to work through a bizarre interface in the device driver, which
1.58 deraadt 2298: we are apparently supposed to write code for without any documentation.
2299: <p>
2300: And since we refuse to accept our users being forced into depending on
2301: vendor binaries, we have reverse engineered the management interface for
2302: the AMI controllers.
2303: <p>
2304: There is no great "intellectual property" in this stuff, it is all
2305: rather simple primitives. This is all that we need to implement
2306: basic RAID management:
2307: <ul>
2308: <li>SCSI transactions on the back-side busses
2309: <li>Discovering which drives are in which volumes
2310: <li>Being able to silence the buzzer
2311: <li>Marking a new drive as a Hot-Spare
2312: </ul>
2313: <p>
2314: The AMI driver needed to support these small primitive operations.
2315: And once we had that, we rely on something else which we know: Almost
2316: all the RAID controllers would need the same primitives.
2317: <p>
2318: Thus armed, we were able to write a generic framework which would later
2319: work on other vendors' RAID cards, that is, once we get documentation
2320: or do some reverse engineering for their products.
2321: <p>
1.60 pvalchev 2322: But having been ignored for so long by these vendors, it is not clear when (if
2323: ever) we will get around to writing that support for Adaptec RAID
1.58 deraadt 2324: controllers now. And Adaptec has gone and bought ICP Vortex, which
2325: may mean we can never get documentation for the
1.70 steven 2326: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=gdt&sektion=4">gdt(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 2327: controllers.
2328: The "Open Source Friendly liar" IBM owns Mylex, and Mylex has told us we
2329: would not get documentation, either.
2330: 3Ware has lied to us and our users so many times they make politicians
2331: look saintly.
2332: <p>
2333: Until other vendors give us documentation, if you want reliable RAID
2334: in OpenBSD, please buy
2335: <a href="http://www.lsilogic.com/products/megaraid/index.html">LSI/AMI</a>
2336: RAID cards. And everything

2432: For an operating system to get anywhere in "the market" it must have
2433: good device support.<br>
2434: <br>
2435: Ethernet was our first concern. Many vendors refused to supply
2436: programmers with programming documentation for these chipsets. Donald
2437: Becker (Linux) and Bill Paul (FreeBSD) changed the rules of the game
2438: here: They wrote drivers for the chipsets that they could get
2439: documentation for, and as they succeeded in writing more and more
2440: drivers, eventually closed vendors slowly opened up until most
2441: ethernet chipset documentation was available. Today, some vendors
2442: still resist releasing ethernet chipset documentation (ie. Broadcom,
1.62 brad 2443: Intel, Marvell/SysKonnect, NVIDIA) but the driver problem is mostly
1.46 henning 2444: solved in the ethernet market.<br>
1.44 deraadt 2445: <br>
2446: Similar problems have happened in the SCSI, IDE, and RAID markets.
2447: Again, the problem was solved by writing drivers for documented
2448: devices first. If the free software user communities use those drivers
2449: preferentially, it is a market loss for the secretive vendors.
2450: Another approach that has worked is to publish email addresses and
2451: phone numbers for the marketing department managers in these
2452: companies. These email campaigns have worked almost every time.<br>
2453: <br>
2454: The new frontier: 802.11 wireless chipsets.<br>
2455: <br>
2456: Over the last six months, this came to a head in the OpenBSD project.
2457: We asked our users to help us petition numerous vendors so that we
2458: could get chipset documentation or redistributable firmware. Certainly, we did
1.52 deraadt 2459: not succeed for some vendors. But we did influence some vendors, in
1.44 deraadt 2460: particular the Taiwanese (Ralink and Realtek), who have given us
2461: everything we need. We also reverse engineered the Atheros chipsets.<br>
2462: <br>
2463:
2464: Want to help us? Avoid
2465: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ipw">Intel Centrino</a>,
2466: Broadcom, TI, or Connexant PrismGT chipsets.
2467: Heck, avoid buying even regular
1.48 deraadt 2468: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=wi">old pre-G Prism products</a>,
1.44 deraadt 2469: to send a message.
1.48 deraadt 2470: If you can, buy 802.11 products using chips by
1.44 deraadt 2471: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=rtw">Realtek</a>,
2472: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ral">Ralink</a>,

2475: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ath">Atheros</a>.
2476: Our manual pages attempt to explain which vendors (ie. D-Link) box
1.52 deraadt 2477: which chipsets into which product.
1.44 deraadt 2478: <br>
2479: <br>
2480: Send a message that open support for hardware matters. A vendor in
1.56 cloder 2481: Redmond largely continues their practices because they get
1.44 deraadt 2482: the chipset documentation years before everyone else does.
2483: What really upsets us the most is that some Linux vendors are signing
2484: Non-Disclosure Agreements with vendors, or contracts that let them
2485: distribute firmwares. Meanwhile both Linux and FSF head developers
1.49 nick 2486: are not asking their communities to help us in our efforts to free

2592: What is up with some free software providers?!
2593: They say "Here's something free! Oh wait, I changed my mind."
2594: <p>
2595: While not exactly bait-and-switch, this is something which
2596: has been causing the community continual grief, and therefore
2597: we decided to honour a few of the projects that have decided
1.41 deraadt 2598: to go non-free. After all.. having gone non-free, no one is
1.37 deraadt 2599: going to remember them in the end.
2600: <p>
2601: This song is dedicated to a few worthy groups who
2602: have made this Free-to-Non-Free transition with their
2603: offerings in the last few years:
2604: <ul>
2605: <li>David Dawes worked for years with a team of
2606: developers to make a free X11 distribution for us to use,
2607: called XFree86, 98% of which was based on entirely free
2608: code from MIT. Suddenly, one day, he decided that
2609: we must give him more credit (ie. advertise his name) or
2610: stop using it. Within about 4 months every project had
2611: told him to get stuffed, and the community has created a
2612: replacement effort.
1.41 deraadt 2613: Now his team cannot even keep their web pages up to date...
1.37 deraadt 2614: <p>
2615: <li>OpenBSD was the first operating system to integrate a
2616: packet filter, and it was the ipf codebase from Darren Reed
2617: that we chose. But a few years later he told us that we
2618: were not free to make changes to the code. So we deleted ipf,
2619: and our new packet filter far exceeds the capabilities of the
2620: one he wrote. And other projects are switching too...
2621: <p>
2622: <li>The Apache group started from the humble beginnings
2623: of just being 'a patchy' set of changes to a completely free
2624: web server of dubious quality. But the years have changed them,
2625: and what they supply is now quite non-free... released under
1.40 jolan 2626: a license so entangled in legalese that we have absolutely no
1.51 jcs 2627: doubt that there are encumbrances hidden within. Legal terms
1.37 deraadt 2628: protect. Who are they protecting? Not your freedom.
2629: </ul>
2630: So here's a goodbye to those three groups, and a warning to any
2631: others who will follow them:
2632: Make your stuff non-free, and something else will
2633: replace it.

2756: A common theme used by the comedy crew Monty Python was to emphasize
2757: and exaggerate ridiculousnesses that their target had imposed upon
2758: themselves. Few things could be considered as humorous as making a
2759: redundancy protocol... redundant; e.g. being forced to replace it by
2760: Cisco lawyers and IETF policy.
2761: <p>
2762: We've been working a few years now on our packet filtering software
2763: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>
2764: and it became time to add failover. We want to be able to set up pf
2765: firewalls side by side, and exchange the stateful information between
2766: them, so that in case of failure another could take over 'keep state'
2767: sessions. Our
2768: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>
2769: protocol solves this problem. However, on both sides of the firewall,
2770: it is also necessary to have all the regular hosts not see a
2771: network failure. The only reliable way to do this is for both
2772: firewall machines to have and use the same IP and MAC addresses. But
2773: the only real way to do that is to use multicast protocols.
2774: <p>
2775: The IETF community proposed work in this direction in the late
2776: 90's, however in 1997 Cisco informed them that they believed some of
2777: Cisco's patents covered the proposed IETF VRRP (Virtual Router
2778: Redundancy Protocol); on
2779: <a href="http://www.ietf.org/ietf/IPR/VRRP-CISCO">
2780: March 20, 1998 they went further and specifically named their HSRP
2781: "Hot Standby Router Protocol" patent</a>. Reputedly, they were upset
2782: that IETF had not simply adopted the flawed HSRP protocol as the
2783: standard solution for this problem. Despite this legal pressure, the
2784: IETF community forged ahead and published VRRP as a standard even
2785: though there was a patent in the space. Why?
1.144 deraadt 2786: <a href="http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/doc/ietf/vrrp/vrrp-minutes-97dec.txt">
1.30 deraadt 2787: There was much deliberation</a>
2788: at all levels of the IETF, and unfortunately for all of us the
2789: politicians within eventually decided to allow patented technology in
2790: standards -- as long as the patented technology is licensed under RAND
2791: (Reasonable And Non Discriminatory) terms. As free software
2792: programmers, we therefore find ourselves in the position that these
2793: RAND standards must not be implemented by us, and we must deviate from
2794: the standard. We find all this rather Unreasonable and Discriminatory
2795: and we *will* design competing protocols. Some standards organization,
2796: eh?
2797: <p>
2798: Due to some HSRP flaws fixed by VRRP and for compatibility with the
2799: (HSRP-licensed) VRRP implementations of their competitors, Cisco in
2800: recent times has largely abandoned HSRP and now relies on VRRP instead
2801: -- a protocol designed for and by the community, but for which they
2802: claim patent rights.
2803: <p>
2804: On August 7 2002, after many communications, Robert Barr (Cisco's
2805: lawyer) firmly informed the OpenBSD community that Cisco would defend
2806: its patents for VRRP implementations -- meaning basically that it was
2807: impossible for a free software group to produce a truly free
2808: implementation of the IETF standard protocol. Perhaps this is because
2809: Cisco and Alcatel are currently engaged in a pair of patent lawsuits; a
2810: small piece of which is Cisco attempting to use the HSRP patent
2811: against Alcatel for their use of VRRP. Some IETF working group
2812: members took note of our complaints,
1.122 deraadt 2813: <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20061109082106/http://lists.microshaft.org/pipermail/dmca_discuss/2003-April/004702.html">
1.30 deraadt 2814: however an attempt in April 2003 to have the IETF abandon the use of
2815: patented technology failed to "reach consensus" in the IETF</a>.
2816: <p>
2817: A few years ago, the W3C, who designs our web protocols, tried to move
2818: to a RAND policy as well (primarily because of pressure from Microsoft
2819: and Apple), but the community outrage was so overpowering that they
2820: backed down. Some standards groups use this policy, while others
2821: avoid it -- the one differentiation being the amount of corporate
1.55 tom 2822: participation. In the IETF, the pro-RAND agents work for AT&T,
1.30 deraadt 2823: Alcatel, IBM, Cisco, Microsoft, and other large companies. Since IETF
2824: is an open forum, they can blend in as the populace, and vote just
2825: like all others, except against the community.
2826: <p>
2827: Translation: In failing to "reach consensus", the companies who
2828: benefit from RAND won, and the community lost again.
2829: <p>
2830: Left with little choice, we proceeded to reinvent the wheel or, more
2831: correctly, abandon the wheel entirely and go for a "hovercraft". We
2832: designed CARP (Common Address Redundancy Protocol) to solve the same
2833: problem that these other protocols are designed for, but without the
2834: same technological basis as HSRP and VRRP. We read the patent
2835: document carefully and ensured that CARP was fundamentally different.
2836: We also avoided many of the flaws in HSRP and VRRP (such as an inherent
2837: lack of security). And since we are OpenBSD developers, we designed
2838: it to use cryptography.
2839: <p>
2840: The combination of
2841: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>,
2842: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>, and
2843: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=carp&sektion=4">carp(4)</a>
2844: has permitted us to build highly redundant firewalls. To date, we
2845: have built a few networks that include as many as 4 firewalls, all
2846: running random reboot cycles. As long as one firewall is alive in a
2847: group, traffic through them moves smoothly and correctly for all of
2848: our packet filter functionality. Cisco's low end products are unable
2849: to do this reliably, and if they have high end products which can do
2850: this, you most certainly cannot afford them.
2851: <p>
2852: As a final note of course, when we petitioned IANA, the IETF body
2853: regulating "official" internet protocol numbers, to give us numbers
2854: for CARP and pfsync our request was denied. Apparently we had failed
2855: to go through an official standards organization. Consequently we
2856: were forced to choose a protocol number which would not conflict with
2857: anything else of value, and decided to place CARP at IP protocol 112.
2858: We also placed pfsync at an open and unused number. We informed IANA of
2859: these decisions, but they declined to reply.
2860: <p>
2861: This ridiculous situation then inspired one of our developers to create
2862: this parody of the well-known Monty Python skit and song.

3151: Join Puffy Hood and his Funny Fish as they take on
1.26 deraadt 3152: the Sheriff (an unelected leader) and other evil
1.20 deraadt 3153: forces of the draconian government!
3154: <p>
3155: <br>
3156: As we did for the 3.3 release, we have once again tried
3157: making release artwork and music which are allegorical
3158: of recent happenings.
3159: <p>
3160: Two years ago we became involved with the University
3161: of Pennsylvania and DARPA, who were funding us to do
3162: security research and development .. on things that
3163: we were already intending to do. We provided ideas,
3164: wrote papers, and deployed cutting-edge technology;
3165: DARPA provided finances and reaped a share of the
3166: credit, and the University of Pennsylvania acted as
3167: a middle-man. We accepted funding based on the
3168: promise that our freedom to operate as we wished
3169: was unaffected. To us, freedom is more important
1.21 deraadt 3170: than funding -- heck, we were dealing with the evil
1.20 deraadt 3171: forces of government, and needed to be careful.
3172: <p>
3173: A few months prior to this release, DARPA suddenly
3174: and without warning decided to withdraw that funding;
3175: they also aggressively backed out of contractual
3176: obligations. Many articles in the <a href=press.html>press</a> followed regarding
1.67 jolan 3177: this sudden maneuver. Apparently this hoopla happened
1.20 deraadt 3178: because an OpenBSD-related article in the Canadian
1.55 tom 3179: newspaper The Globe & Mail had quoted Theo de Raadt
1.20 deraadt 3180: making anti-war statements regarding Iraq and the
3181: theft of oil.
3182: <p>
3183: The only answer given (to major media reporters) by a
3184: DARPA spokesperson (Jan Walker) was this:
3185: <p>
3186: "As a result of the DARPA review of the
3187: project, and due to world events and the evolving
3188: threat posed by increasingly capable nation-states,
3189: the Government on April 21 advised the University
3190: to suspend work on the "security fest" portion of
3191: the project."
3192: <p>
3193: That almost toes the line of calling us terrorists!
3194: We had lost financial support, but the release of the
3195: statement above suddenly made us very happy to be free
3196: of any perceived obligation to such crazy people.
3197: <p>
3198: Since the termination came near natural contract
3199: termination (about 4 months remained), less damage
3200: than expected was sustained by the project. Sponsors
3201: stepped forward and helped us make up the missing funds
3202: we needed to run our "Hackathon", and the event
1.61 grunk 3203: proceeded as planned. We even had T-shirts made with
1.20 deraadt 3204: "Workstations of Mass Development" artwork for those
3205: developers who attended (sorry, they are not for sale).
3206: <p>
3207: We could not make stories like this up. So instead,
3208: we are making up an allegory about it, using the tale
3209: of Robin Hood.
