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

261: In January of 2038, 32-bit Unix time will overflow and wrap
262: back to 1901. This is known as the
263: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem">Year 2038 problem</a>.
264: POSIX operating systems have made strong inroads into embedded
265: roles, so this is anticipated to be substantially worse than the Y2K transition.
266: <p>
1.146 guenther 267: In August of 2012, Philip Guenther started the OpenBSD work to
268: solve this.
269: After a year of work it was ready enough for merging, and in August 2013
270: the <b>time_t</b> type was changed to int64_t on all
271: platforms and the kernel and userland were adapted to the new
272: situation. The initial work was committed right after OpenBSD 5.4,
273: then polished in tree over the next 6 months.
1.144 deraadt 274: <p>
275: The next part of the process was to drag the "ports" software
1.146 guenther 276: ecosystem along because no one else had paved the way for 32-bit
1.144 deraadt 277: machines to run with 64-bit <b>time_t</b>. This required a fair
278: bit of upstream involvement. Thousands of fixes were required to
279: make both 32-bit and 64-bit time work transparently. There will
280: be more fixing in the future, but the concept is proven.
281: <p>
282: In the past OpenBSD pushed risky theoretical ideas into mainstream
283: software practice by proving the ecosystem was ready to change.
284: No OS wants to make a ABI jump until the case for change is proven.
285: Stack protection, ASLR, and W^X principles are now in common use
286: by mainline operating systems... because things like Firefox
287: and Postgresql don't break anymore. OpenBSD built that route.
288: <p>
289: In the same way, the road is paved for the 64-bit <b>time_t</b>
290: transition. Other operating systems can now make this jump.

1.132 beck 463: Just as the original song professed its love for Brazil, "World,
464: you'll love my Linux" is the passionate call of an idealistic dreamer
465: who can't bear the thought of software that will only run under
466: Windows, and yet loves the situation with software that will only run
467: under particular Linux distributions.
468: <p>
469: This problem has proliferated itself into the standards bodies, with
470: Posix adopting Linuxisms ahead of any other variant of Unix.
471: <p>
472: Posix and Unix have made it where you can write reasonably portable
473: software and have it compile and run across a multitude of platforms.
474: Now this seems to be changing as the love for Linux drives the
475: standards bodies into accepting everything Linux, good and bad.
476: <p>
477: We also are faced with groups writing software that only works
478: with particular distributions of Linux. From this we get software that
479: not only isn't very portable, but often not particularly stable. Our
480: idealistic dreamer in the song loves running one, or more than one distribution
481: of Linux for a particular purpose. Unfortunately, the rest of us are left
482: with the unattractive choice of doing the same, or relying on
483: herculean efforts to port software that is being actively developed in a
484: way to discourage porting it to other platforms.

1278: Nearly 10 years ago Kirk McKusick wrote a history of
1279: the Berkeley Unix distributions for the
1.121 deraadt 1280: O'Reilly book "Open Sources: Voices from the Open Source Revolution".
1.104 deraadt 1281: We recommend you read his story, entitled
1282: <a href="http://oreilly.com/catalog/opensources/book/kirkmck.html">
1283: "Twenty Years of Berkeley Unix
1284: From AT&T-Owned to Freely Redistributable"</a>
1285: first, to see how Kirk remembers how we got here.
1286: Sadly, since it showed up in book form originally, this text has
1287: probably not been read by enough people.
1288: <br>
1289: <br>
1290: The USL(AT&T) vs BSDI/UCB court case settlement documents were
1291: not public until recently; their disclosure has made the facts more clear.
1292: But the story of how three people decided to free the BSD codebase
1293: of corporate pollution -- and release it freely -- is more interesting
1294: than the lawsuit which followed. Sure, a stupid lawsuit happened which
1295: hindered the acceptance of the BSD code during a critical period.
1296: But how did a bunch of guys go through the effort of replacing so
1297: much AT&T code in the first place? After all, companies had
1298: lots of really evil lawyers back then too -- were they not afraid?
1299: <br>
1300: <br>
1301: After a decade of development, most of the AT&T code had
1302: already been replaced by university researchers and their associates.
1303: So Keith Bostic, Mike Karels and Kirk McKusick (the main UCB CSRG group)
1304: started going through the 4.3BSD codebase to cleanse the rest.
1305: Keith, in particular, built a ragtag team (in those days, USENIX
1306: conferences were a gold mine for such team building) and led these
1307: rebels to rewrite and replace all the Imperial AT&T code, piece by
1308: piece, starting with the libraries and userland programs.
1309: Anyone who helped only got credit as a Contributor -- people like
1310: Chris Torek and a cast of .. hundreds more.
1311: <br>
1312: <br>
1.105 deraadt 1313: Then Mike and Kirk purified the kernel. After a bit more careful
1.104 deraadt 1314: checking, this led to the release of a clean tree called Net/2 which
1315: was given to the world in June 1991 -- the largest dump of free source
1316: code the world had ever received (for those days -- not modern monsters like OpenOffice).
1317: <br>
1318: <br>
1319: Some of these ragtags formed a company (BSDi) to sell a production system
1320: based on this free code base, and a year later Unix System Laboratories
1321: (basically AT&T) sued BSDi and UCB.
1322: Eventually AT&T lost and after a few trifling fixes (described in the
1323: lawsuit documents) the codebase was free. A few newer developments
1324: (and more free code) were added, and released in June 1994 as 4.4BSD-Lite.
1325: Just over 14 years later OpenBSD is releasing its own 4.4 release (and for
1326: a lot less than <a href=orders.html>$1000 per copy</a>).
1327: <br>
1328: <br>
1329: The OpenBSD 4.4 release is dedicated to Keith Bostic, Mike Karels, Kirk McKusick,
1330: and all of those who contributed to making Net/2 and 4.4BSD-Lite free.

1344: Not so very long ago<br>
1345: and not so far away<br>
1346: AT&T made system code<br>
1347: and gave some bits away<br>
1348: <br>
1349: Some Berkeley geeks rebuilt it<br>
1350: better, faster, more diverse<br>
1351: This open thing was wonderful<br>
1352: for everyone on Earth<br>
1353: <br>
1354: And then the roaring 90's came<br>
1355: The Empire changed its mind<br>
1356: And good old greed was back again<br>
1357: The geeks were in a legal bind<br>
1358: <br>
1359: The Empire's Unix Lab<br>
1360: sued BSDi from above<br>
1361: The code is free but<br>
1362: only we can sell it bub!<br>
1363: <br>
1364: The University came calling<br>
1365: in full protective mode<br>
1.106 deraadt 1366: and proved the source in Net/2<br>
1.104 deraadt 1367: didn't use the Empire's code<br>
1368: <br>
1369: Then Bostic brought the Empire's books<br>
1370: n' slammed them dandys down<br>
1371: And showed the giant chunks<br>
1372: of BSD code all around<br>
1373: <br>
1374: They didn't even give an ounce<br>
1375: of credit front to back<br>
1376: This broke the license USL<br>
1377: was using to attack<br>
1378: <br>
1379: The case was thrown out by the judge<br>
1380: and "settled" out of court<br>
1381: And UCB was big enough<br>
1382: to take it like a sport<br>
1383: <br>
1384: And to this day the geekfolk say<br>
1385: Now did we win or lose?<br>
1386: They shoulda made 'em reprint<br>
1387: every book with proper dues<br>
1388: <br>
1389: And take out ads in major rags<br>
1390: apologetically<br>
1391: And maybe now it wouldn't be<br>
1392: the same monopoly<br>
1393: <br>
1394: The Empire might have tumbled<br>
1395: down if everybody saw<br>
1396: How greed became so big<br>
1397: they couldn't see that glaring flaw<br>
1398: <br>
1399: But only one community<br>
1400: the one that makes it tick<br>
1401: Is there to fight for everyone<br>
1402: exposing hypocrites<br>
1403: <br>
1404: And OpenBSD is here<br>
1405: to tell the story right<br>
1406: Once again the fight is fought<br>
1407: and kept in shining light<br>
1408: <br>
1409: And may the source be with you<br>
1410: May the Empire fall apart<br>
1411: Ya like that's gonna happen!<br>
1412: But we gotta keep heart!<br>

1446: We are just plain tired of being lectured to by a man

1449: <br>
1450: <br>
1451: In 1998 when a United Airlines plane was waiting in the queue at
1.102 deraadt 1452: Washington Dulles International Airport for take-off to New Orleans
1453: (where a Usenix conference was taking place), one man stood up from
1454: his seat, demanded that they stop waiting in the queue and be permitted
1.95 deraadt 1455: to deplane. Even after orders from the crew and a pilot from
1456: the cockpit he refused to sit down. The plane exited the queue
1.96 deraadt 1457: and returned to the airport gangway. Security personnel ran onto
1.95 deraadt 1458: the plane and removed this man, Richard Stallman, from the plane.
1459: After Richard was removed from the plane, everyone else stayed
1460: onboard and continued their journey to New Orleans. A few
1461: OpenBSD developers were on that same plane, seated very closeby,
1462: so we have an accurate story of the events.
1463: <br>
1464: <br>
1465: This is the man who presumes that he should preach to us
1466: about morality, freedom, and what is best for us. He believes
1467: it is his God-given role to tell us what is best for us, when he
1468: has shown that he takes actions which are not best for everyone.
1469: He prefers actions which he thinks are best for him -- and him
1470: alone -- and then lies to the public. Richard Stallman is no Spock.
1471: <br>
1472: <br>
1473: We release our software in ways that are maximally free. We
1474: remove all restrictions on use and distribution, but leave a
1475: requirement to be known as the authors. We follow a pattern of
1476: free source code distribution that started in the mid-1980's
1477: in Berkeley, from before Richard Stallman had any powerful
1478: influence which he could use so falsely.
1479: <br>
1480: <br>
1481: We have a development sub-tree called "ports". Our "ports" tree
1482: builds software that is 'found on the net' into packages that
1483: OpenBSD users can use more easily. A scaffold of Makefiles and
1484: scripts automatically fetch these pieces of software, apply
1485: patches as required by OpenBSD, and then build them into nice
1486: neat little tarballs. This is provided as a convenience for
1.97 okan 1487: users. The ports tree is maintained by OpenBSD entirely separately
1.95 deraadt 1488: from our main source tree. Some of the software which is fetched
1489: and compiled is not as free as we would like, but what can we do.
1490: All the other operating system projects make exactly the same
1491: decision, and provide these same conveniences to their users.
1492: <br>
1493: <br>
1494: Richard felt that this "ports tree" of ours made OpenBSD non-free.
1495: He came to our mailing lists and lectured to us specifically, yet
1496: he said nothing to the many other vendors who do the same; many of
1497: them donate to the FSF and perhaps that has something to do with it.
1498: Meanwhile, Richard has personally made sure that all the official
1499: GNU software -- including Emacs -- compiles and runs on Windows.
1500: <br>
1501: <br>
1502: That man is a false leader. He is a hypocrite. There may be some
1503: people who listen to him. But we don't listen to people who do not
1504: follow their own stupid rules.

1603: Those of us who work on OpenBSD are often asked why we do what we do.
1.91 merdely 1604: This song's lyrics express the core motivations and goals which have
1.90 deraadt 1605: remained unchanged over the years - secure, free, reliable software,
1606: that can be shared with anyone. Many other projects purport to share
1607: these same goals, and love to wrap themselves in a banner of "Open
1608: Source" and "Free Software". Given how many projects there are one
1609: would think it might be easy to stick to those goals, but it doesn't
1610: seem to work out that way. A variety of desires drag many projects
1611: away from the ideals very quickly.
1612: <p>
1.93 jmc 1613: Much of any operating system's usability depends on device support,
1.91 merdely 1614: and there are some very tempting alternative ways to support devices
1.90 deraadt 1615: available to those who will surrender their moral code. A project
1616: could compromise by entering into NDA agreements with vendors, or
1617: including binary objects in the operating system for which no source
1618: code exists, or tying their users down with contract terms hidden
1619: inside copyright notices. All of these choices surrender some subset
1620: of the ideals, and we simply will not do this. Sure, we care about
1621: getting devices working, but not at the expense of our original goals.
1622: <p>
1623: Of course since "free to share with anyone" is part of our goals,
1624: we've been at the forefront of many licensing and NDA issues,
1.91 merdely 1625: resulting in a good number of successes. This success had led to much
1.90 deraadt 1626: recognition for the advancement of Free Software causes, but has also
1627: led to other issues.
1628: <p>
1629: We fully admit that some BSD licensed software has been taken and used
1630: by many commercial entities, but contributions come back more often
1631: than people seem to know, and when they do, they're always still
1632: properly attributed to the original authors, and given back in the
1633: same spirit that they were given in the first place.
1634: <p>
1635: That's the best we can expect from companies. After all, we make our
1636: stuff so free so that everyone can benefit -- it remains a core goal;
1637: we really have not strayed at all in 10 years. But we can expect more
1638: from projects who talk about sharing -- such as the various Linux
1639: projects.
1640: <p>
1641: Now rather than seeing us as friends who can cooperatively improve all
1642: codebases, we are seen as foes who oppose the GPL. The participants
1643: of "the race" are being manipulated by the FSF and their legal arm, the
1644: SFLC, for the FSF's aims, rather than the goal of getting good source
1645: into Linux (and all other code bases). We don't want this to come off
1646: as some conspiracy theory, but we simply urge those developers caution
1647: -- they should ensure that the path they are being shown by those who
1648: have positioned themselves as leaders is still true. Run for yourself,
1649: not for their agenda.
1650: <p>
1651: The Race is there to be run, for ourselves, not for others. We do
1652: what we do to run our own race, and finish it the best we can. We
1653: don't rush off at every distraction, or worry how this will affect our
1654: image. We are here to have fun doing right.

1756: As developers of a free operating system, one of our prime responsibilities
1757: is device support. No matter how nice an operating system is, it remains
1758: useless and unusable without solid support for a wide percentage of the
1759: hardware that is available on the market. It is therefore rather unsurprising
1760: that more than half of our efforts focus on various aspects relating to
1761: device support.
1762: <p>
1.85 mbalmer 1763: Most parts of the operating system (from low kernel, through to libraries,
1.81 deraadt 1764: all the way up to X, and then even to applications) use fairly obvious
1765: interface layers, where the "communication protocols" or "argument passing"
1766: mechanisms (ie. APIs) can be understood by any developer who takes the
1767: time to read the free code. Device drivers pose an additional and significant
1768: challenge though: because many vendors refuse to document the exact behavior
1769: of their devices. The devices are black boxes. And often they are surprisingly
1770: weird, or even buggy.
1771: <p>
1772: When vendor documentation does not exist, the development process can
1773: become extremely hairy. Groups of developers have found themselves focused
1774: for months at a time, figuring out the most simple steps, simply because
1775: the hardware is a complete mystery. Access to documentation can ease

1808: <br>
1809: <br>
1810: Puffy Baba and the 40 Vendors<br>
1811: We all know the details<br>
1812: Magic cave, magic words, some thieves,<br>
1813: some serious loot,<br>
1814: and lucky - Mister - Baba<br>
1815: Who got a bad rap if you ask me<br>
1816: The little guy who<br>
1817: did the best with what he had<br>
1818: <br>
1819: <br>
1820: Here are Mr. Baba's lessons<br>
1821: Load one ass, take a few trips and spend<br>
1822: in moderation<br>
1823: Three things the average man can't - get - right<br>
1824: <br>
1825: <br>
1826: If you know your brother is a greedy bastard<br>
1827: never give him the password<br>
1828: If he goes penguin on you,<br>
1829: stop - being - his brother.<br>
1830: When a cave is guarded by magic lawyers<br>

1.81 deraadt 1832: So do the best with what you have<br>

1835: Beyond the lessons - you must know this<br>
1836: that the Devil is as real as your address<br>
1837: But unlike Vendors,<br>
1838: he at least keeps the door open<br>

1846: <br>
1847: <br>
1848: Gratis. Free. Libre. Cuffo.<br>
1849: The companies of thieves stole every good adjective<br>
1850: and left us with open source (sores)<br>

2162: no malicious code? No incompetent code? Inspection is impossible; you
2163: can only test the black box. And when it breaks, you have no idea why.<br>

2330: <em>
2331: For a multitude of (stupid) reasons, vendors often attempt to lock
2332: out our participation with their customers by refusing to give our
2333: programmers sufficient documentation so that we can properly support
2334: their devices.
2335: <p>
2336: Take Adaptec for instance. Before the 3.7 release we disabled support
2337: for the
1.70 steven 2338: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=aac&sektion=4">aac(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 2339: Adaptec RAID driver because negotiations with the Adaptec had failed.
2340: They refused to give us documentation. Without documentation, support
2341: for their controller had always been poor. The driver had bugs (which
2342: affected some users more than others) which caused crashes, and of
2343: course there was no RAID management support. Apparently most of these
1.59 jolan 2344: bugs are because the Adaptec controllers have numerous buggy firmware
2345: issues which require careful workarounds; without documentation we
2346: cannot solve these issues.
1.58 deraadt 2347: <p>
2348: The driver was written by an OpenBSD developer, who cribbed parts
2349: of it from a FreeBSD driver written by an ex-Adaptec employee. But no
2350: public documentation exists, and Adaptec has dozens of cards with
2351: different firmware issues. All of this adds up to a very desperate
2352: development model -- it becomes very hard for the principle of
2353: "quality" to show its head.
2354: <p>
2355: RAID devices have two main qualities that people buy them for:
2356: <br>
2357: <ul>
1.60 pvalchev 2358: <li>Redundancy
1.58 deraadt 2359: <li>Repair
2360: </ul>
2361: You want a RAID unit to provide you with redundancy, so that if some drives
1.60 pvalchev 2362: fail, your data is not lost. But once a drive has failed, you require your
2363: array to (automatically, most likely) perform the operations to repair
1.58 deraadt 2364: itself, so that it is functioning perfectly again.
2365: <p>
2366: Some vendors (or like the above Adaptec case, ex-employee) have
2367: sometimes given us some documentation so that we could write drivers,
2368: so that their devices could support Redundancy. But these vendors have
2369: never given us any documentation for performing Repairs.
2370: <p>
2371: Instead these vendors have tried to pass out non-free RAID management
2372: tools. These are typically gigantic Linux binaries, or some crazy thing, that
1.67 jolan 2373: is supposed to work through a bizarre interface in the device driver, which
1.58 deraadt 2374: we are apparently supposed to write code for without any documentation.
2375: <p>
2376: And since we refuse to accept our users being forced into depending on
2377: vendor binaries, we have reverse engineered the management interface for
2378: the AMI controllers.
2379: <p>
2380: There is no great "intellectual property" in this stuff, it is all
2381: rather simple primitives. This is all that we need to implement
2382: basic RAID management:
2383: <ul>
2384: <li>SCSI transactions on the back-side busses
2385: <li>Discovering which drives are in which volumes
2386: <li>Being able to silence the buzzer
2387: <li>Marking a new drive as a Hot-Spare
2388: </ul>
2389: <p>
2390: The AMI driver needed to support these small primitive operations.
2391: And once we had that, we rely on something else which we know: Almost
2392: all the RAID controllers would need the same primitives.
2393: <p>
2394: Thus armed, we were able to write a generic framework which would later
2395: work on other vendors' RAID cards, that is, once we get documentation
2396: or do some reverse engineering for their products.
2397: <p>
1.60 pvalchev 2398: But having been ignored for so long by these vendors, it is not clear when (if
2399: ever) we will get around to writing that support for Adaptec RAID
1.58 deraadt 2400: controllers now. And Adaptec has gone and bought ICP Vortex, which
2401: may mean we can never get documentation for the
1.70 steven 2402: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=gdt&sektion=4">gdt(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 2403: controllers.
2404: The "Open Source Friendly liar" IBM owns Mylex, and Mylex has told us we
2405: would not get documentation, either.
2406: 3Ware has lied to us and our users so many times they make politicians
2407: look saintly.
2408: <p>
2409: Until other vendors give us documentation, if you want reliable RAID
2410: in OpenBSD, please buy
2411: <a href="http://www.lsilogic.com/products/megaraid/index.html">LSI/AMI</a>

2508: For an operating system to get anywhere in "the market" it must have
2509: good device support.<br>
2510: <br>
2511: Ethernet was our first concern. Many vendors refused to supply
2512: programmers with programming documentation for these chipsets. Donald
2513: Becker (Linux) and Bill Paul (FreeBSD) changed the rules of the game
2514: here: They wrote drivers for the chipsets that they could get
2515: documentation for, and as they succeeded in writing more and more
2516: drivers, eventually closed vendors slowly opened up until most
2517: ethernet chipset documentation was available. Today, some vendors
2518: still resist releasing ethernet chipset documentation (ie. Broadcom,
1.62 brad 2519: Intel, Marvell/SysKonnect, NVIDIA) but the driver problem is mostly
1.46 henning 2520: solved in the ethernet market.<br>
1.44 deraadt 2521: <br>
2522: Similar problems have happened in the SCSI, IDE, and RAID markets.
2523: Again, the problem was solved by writing drivers for documented
2524: devices first. If the free software user communities use those drivers
2525: preferentially, it is a market loss for the secretive vendors.
2526: Another approach that has worked is to publish email addresses and
2527: phone numbers for the marketing department managers in these
2528: companies. These email campaigns have worked almost every time.<br>
2529: <br>
2530: The new frontier: 802.11 wireless chipsets.<br>
2531: <br>
2532: Over the last six months, this came to a head in the OpenBSD project.
2533: We asked our users to help us petition numerous vendors so that we
2534: could get chipset documentation or redistributable firmware. Certainly, we did
1.52 deraadt 2535: not succeed for some vendors. But we did influence some vendors, in
1.44 deraadt 2536: particular the Taiwanese (Ralink and Realtek), who have given us
2537: everything we need. We also reverse engineered the Atheros chipsets.<br>
2538: <br>
2539:
2540: Want to help us? Avoid
2541: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ipw">Intel Centrino</a>,
2542: Broadcom, TI, or Connexant PrismGT chipsets.
2543: Heck, avoid buying even regular
1.48 deraadt 2544: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=wi">old pre-G Prism products</a>,
1.44 deraadt 2545: to send a message.
1.48 deraadt 2546: If you can, buy 802.11 products using chips by

2551: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ath">Atheros</a>.
2552: Our manual pages attempt to explain which vendors (ie. D-Link) box
1.52 deraadt 2553: which chipsets into which product.
1.44 deraadt 2554: <br>

2556: Send a message that open support for hardware matters. A vendor in
1.56 cloder 2557: Redmond largely continues their practices because they get
1.44 deraadt 2558: the chipset documentation years before everyone else does.
2559: What really upsets us the most is that some Linux vendors are signing
2560: Non-Disclosure Agreements with vendors, or contracts that let them
2561: distribute firmwares. Meanwhile both Linux and FSF head developers
1.49 nick 2562: are not asking their communities to help us in our efforts to free

2668: What is up with some free software providers?!
2669: They say "Here's something free! Oh wait, I changed my mind."
2670: <p>
2671: While not exactly bait-and-switch, this is something which
2672: has been causing the community continual grief, and therefore
2673: we decided to honour a few of the projects that have decided
1.41 deraadt 2674: to go non-free. After all.. having gone non-free, no one is
1.37 deraadt 2675: going to remember them in the end.
2676: <p>
2677: This song is dedicated to a few worthy groups who
2678: have made this Free-to-Non-Free transition with their
2679: offerings in the last few years:
2680: <ul>
2681: <li>David Dawes worked for years with a team of
2682: developers to make a free X11 distribution for us to use,
2683: called XFree86, 98% of which was based on entirely free
2684: code from MIT. Suddenly, one day, he decided that
2685: we must give him more credit (ie. advertise his name) or
2686: stop using it. Within about 4 months every project had
2687: told him to get stuffed, and the community has created a
2688: replacement effort.
1.41 deraadt 2689: Now his team cannot even keep their web pages up to date...
1.37 deraadt 2690: <p>
2691: <li>OpenBSD was the first operating system to integrate a
2692: packet filter, and it was the ipf codebase from Darren Reed
2693: that we chose. But a few years later he told us that we
2694: were not free to make changes to the code. So we deleted ipf,
2695: and our new packet filter far exceeds the capabilities of the
2696: one he wrote. And other projects are switching too...
2697: <p>
2698: <li>The Apache group started from the humble beginnings
2699: of just being 'a patchy' set of changes to a completely free
2700: web server of dubious quality. But the years have changed them,
2701: and what they supply is now quite non-free... released under
1.40 jolan 2702: a license so entangled in legalese that we have absolutely no
1.51 jcs 2703: doubt that there are encumbrances hidden within. Legal terms
1.37 deraadt 2704: protect. Who are they protecting? Not your freedom.
2705: </ul>
2706: So here's a goodbye to those three groups, and a warning to any
2707: others who will follow them:
2708: Make your stuff non-free, and something else will
2709: replace it.

2832: A common theme used by the comedy crew Monty Python was to emphasize
2833: and exaggerate ridiculousnesses that their target had imposed upon
2834: themselves. Few things could be considered as humorous as making a
2835: redundancy protocol... redundant; e.g. being forced to replace it by
2836: Cisco lawyers and IETF policy.
2837: <p>
2838: We've been working a few years now on our packet filtering software
2839: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>
2840: and it became time to add failover. We want to be able to set up pf
2841: firewalls side by side, and exchange the stateful information between
2842: them, so that in case of failure another could take over 'keep state'
2843: sessions. Our
2844: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>
2845: protocol solves this problem. However, on both sides of the firewall,
2846: it is also necessary to have all the regular hosts not see a
2847: network failure. The only reliable way to do this is for both
2848: firewall machines to have and use the same IP and MAC addresses. But
2849: the only real way to do that is to use multicast protocols.
2850: <p>
2851: The IETF community proposed work in this direction in the late
2852: 90's, however in 1997 Cisco informed them that they believed some of
2853: Cisco's patents covered the proposed IETF VRRP (Virtual Router
2854: Redundancy Protocol); on
2855: <a href="http://www.ietf.org/ietf/IPR/VRRP-CISCO">
2856: March 20, 1998 they went further and specifically named their HSRP
2857: "Hot Standby Router Protocol" patent</a>. Reputedly, they were upset
2858: that IETF had not simply adopted the flawed HSRP protocol as the
2859: standard solution for this problem. Despite this legal pressure, the
2860: IETF community forged ahead and published VRRP as a standard even
2861: though there was a patent in the space. Why?
1.144 deraadt 2862: <a href="http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/doc/ietf/vrrp/vrrp-minutes-97dec.txt">
1.30 deraadt 2863: There was much deliberation</a>
2864: at all levels of the IETF, and unfortunately for all of us the
2865: politicians within eventually decided to allow patented technology in
2866: standards -- as long as the patented technology is licensed under RAND
2867: (Reasonable And Non Discriminatory) terms. As free software
2868: programmers, we therefore find ourselves in the position that these
2869: RAND standards must not be implemented by us, and we must deviate from
2870: the standard. We find all this rather Unreasonable and Discriminatory
2871: and we *will* design competing protocols. Some standards organization,
2872: eh?
2873: <p>
2874: Due to some HSRP flaws fixed by VRRP and for compatibility with the
2875: (HSRP-licensed) VRRP implementations of their competitors, Cisco in
2876: recent times has largely abandoned HSRP and now relies on VRRP instead
2877: -- a protocol designed for and by the community, but for which they
2878: claim patent rights.
2879: <p>
2880: On August 7 2002, after many communications, Robert Barr (Cisco's
2881: lawyer) firmly informed the OpenBSD community that Cisco would defend
2882: its patents for VRRP implementations -- meaning basically that it was
2883: impossible for a free software group to produce a truly free
2884: implementation of the IETF standard protocol. Perhaps this is because
2885: Cisco and Alcatel are currently engaged in a pair of patent lawsuits; a
2886: small piece of which is Cisco attempting to use the HSRP patent
2887: against Alcatel for their use of VRRP. Some IETF working group
2888: members took note of our complaints,
1.122 deraadt 2889: <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20061109082106/http://lists.microshaft.org/pipermail/dmca_discuss/2003-April/004702.html">
1.30 deraadt 2890: however an attempt in April 2003 to have the IETF abandon the use of
2891: patented technology failed to "reach consensus" in the IETF</a>.
2892: <p>
2893: A few years ago, the W3C, who designs our web protocols, tried to move
2894: to a RAND policy as well (primarily because of pressure from Microsoft
2895: and Apple), but the community outrage was so overpowering that they
2896: backed down. Some standards groups use this policy, while others
2897: avoid it -- the one differentiation being the amount of corporate
1.55 tom 2898: participation. In the IETF, the pro-RAND agents work for AT&T,
1.30 deraadt 2899: Alcatel, IBM, Cisco, Microsoft, and other large companies. Since IETF
2900: is an open forum, they can blend in as the populace, and vote just
2901: like all others, except against the community.
2902: <p>
2903: Translation: In failing to "reach consensus", the companies who
2904: benefit from RAND won, and the community lost again.
2905: <p>
2906: Left with little choice, we proceeded to reinvent the wheel or, more
2907: correctly, abandon the wheel entirely and go for a "hovercraft". We
2908: designed CARP (Common Address Redundancy Protocol) to solve the same
2909: problem that these other protocols are designed for, but without the
2910: same technological basis as HSRP and VRRP. We read the patent
2911: document carefully and ensured that CARP was fundamentally different.
2912: We also avoided many of the flaws in HSRP and VRRP (such as an inherent
2913: lack of security). And since we are OpenBSD developers, we designed
2914: it to use cryptography.
2915: <p>
2916: The combination of
2917: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>,
2918: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>, and
2919: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=carp&sektion=4">carp(4)</a>
2920: has permitted us to build highly redundant firewalls. To date, we
2921: have built a few networks that include as many as 4 firewalls, all
2922: running random reboot cycles. As long as one firewall is alive in a
2923: group, traffic through them moves smoothly and correctly for all of
2924: our packet filter functionality. Cisco's low end products are unable
2925: to do this reliably, and if they have high end products which can do
2926: this, you most certainly cannot afford them.
2927: <p>
2928: As a final note of course, when we petitioned IANA, the IETF body
2929: regulating "official" internet protocol numbers, to give us numbers
2930: for CARP and pfsync our request was denied. Apparently we had failed
2931: to go through an official standards organization. Consequently we
2932: were forced to choose a protocol number which would not conflict with
2933: anything else of value, and decided to place CARP at IP protocol 112.
2934: We also placed pfsync at an open and unused number. We informed IANA of
2935: these decisions, but they declined to reply.
2936: <p>
2937: This ridiculous situation then inspired one of our developers to create
2938: this parody of the well-known Monty Python skit and song.

3227: Join Puffy Hood and his Funny Fish as they take on
1.26 deraadt 3228: the Sheriff (an unelected leader) and other evil
1.20 deraadt 3229: forces of the draconian government!
3230: <p>
3231: <br>
3232: As we did for the 3.3 release, we have once again tried
3233: making release artwork and music which are allegorical
3234: of recent happenings.
3235: <p>
3236: Two years ago we became involved with the University
3237: of Pennsylvania and DARPA, who were funding us to do
3238: security research and development .. on things that
3239: we were already intending to do. We provided ideas,
3240: wrote papers, and deployed cutting-edge technology;
3241: DARPA provided finances and reaped a share of the
3242: credit, and the University of Pennsylvania acted as
3243: a middle-man. We accepted funding based on the
3244: promise that our freedom to operate as we wished
3245: was unaffected. To us, freedom is more important
1.21 deraadt 3246: than funding -- heck, we were dealing with the evil
1.20 deraadt 3247: forces of government, and needed to be careful.
3248: <p>
3249: A few months prior to this release, DARPA suddenly
3250: and without warning decided to withdraw that funding;
3251: they also aggressively backed out of contractual
3252: obligations. Many articles in the <a href=press.html>press</a> followed regarding
1.67 jolan 3253: this sudden maneuver. Apparently this hoopla happened
1.20 deraadt 3254: because an OpenBSD-related article in the Canadian
1.55 tom 3255: newspaper The Globe & Mail had quoted Theo de Raadt
1.20 deraadt 3256: making anti-war statements regarding Iraq and the
3257: theft of oil.
3258: <p>
3259: The only answer given (to major media reporters) by a
3260: DARPA spokesperson (Jan Walker) was this:
3261: <p>
3262: "As a result of the DARPA review of the
3263: project, and due to world events and the evolving
3264: threat posed by increasingly capable nation-states,
3265: the Government on April 21 advised the University
3266: to suspend work on the "security fest" portion of
3267: the project."
3268: <p>
3269: That almost toes the line of calling us terrorists!
3270: We had lost financial support, but the release of the
3271: statement above suddenly made us very happy to be free
3272: of any perceived obligation to such crazy people.
3273: <p>
3274: Since the termination came near natural contract
3275: termination (about 4 months remained), less damage
3276: than expected was sustained by the project. Sponsors
3277: stepped forward and helped us make up the missing funds
3278: we needed to run our "Hackathon", and the event
1.61 grunk 3279: proceeded as planned. We even had T-shirts made with
1.20 deraadt 3280: "Workstations of Mass Development" artwork for those
3281: developers who attended (sorry, they are not for sale).
3282: <p>
3283: We could not make stories like this up. So instead,
3284: we are making up an allegory about it, using the tale
3285: of Robin Hood.
