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

325: In January of 2038, 32-bit Unix time will overflow and wrap
326: back to 1901. This is known as the
327: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem">Year 2038 problem</a>.
328: POSIX operating systems have made strong inroads into embedded
329: roles, so this is anticipated to be substantially worse than the Y2K transition.
330: <p>
1.146 guenther 331: In August of 2012, Philip Guenther started the OpenBSD work to
1.157 ! deraadt 332: solve this.
1.146 guenther 333: After a year of work it was ready enough for merging, and in August 2013
334: the <b>time_t</b> type was changed to int64_t on all
335: platforms and the kernel and userland were adapted to the new
336: situation. The initial work was committed right after OpenBSD 5.4,
337: then polished in tree over the next 6 months.
1.144 deraadt 338: <p>
339: The next part of the process was to drag the "ports" software
1.146 guenther 340: ecosystem along because no one else had paved the way for 32-bit
1.144 deraadt 341: machines to run with 64-bit <b>time_t</b>. This required a fair
342: bit of upstream involvement. Thousands of fixes were required to
343: make both 32-bit and 64-bit time work transparently. There will
344: be more fixing in the future, but the concept is proven.
345: <p>
346: In the past OpenBSD pushed risky theoretical ideas into mainstream
347: software practice by proving the ecosystem was ready to change.
348: No OS wants to make a ABI jump until the case for change is proven.
349: Stack protection, ASLR, and W^X principles are now in common use
350: by mainline operating systems... because things like Firefox
351: and Postgresql don't break anymore. OpenBSD built that route.
352: <p>
353: In the same way, the road is paved for the 64-bit <b>time_t</b>
354: transition. Other operating systems can now make this jump.

1.132 beck 527: Just as the original song professed its love for Brazil, "World,
528: you'll love my Linux" is the passionate call of an idealistic dreamer
529: who can't bear the thought of software that will only run under
530: Windows, and yet loves the situation with software that will only run
531: under particular Linux distributions.
532: <p>
533: This problem has proliferated itself into the standards bodies, with
534: Posix adopting Linuxisms ahead of any other variant of Unix.
535: <p>
536: Posix and Unix have made it where you can write reasonably portable
537: software and have it compile and run across a multitude of platforms.
1.157 ! deraadt 538: Now this seems to be changing as the love for Linux drives the
! 539: standards bodies into accepting everything Linux, good and bad.
1.132 beck 540: <p>
541: We also are faced with groups writing software that only works
542: with particular distributions of Linux. From this we get software that
543: not only isn't very portable, but often not particularly stable. Our
544: idealistic dreamer in the song loves running one, or more than one distribution
545: of Linux for a particular purpose. Unfortunately, the rest of us are left
546: with the unattractive choice of doing the same, or relying on
547: herculean efforts to port software that is being actively developed in a
1.157 ! deraadt 548: way to discourage porting it to other platforms.

901: This release is OpenBSD 4.9. Then why is
902: the song about 4.2? Huh?<br>
903: <br>
904: The <a href="#44">OpenBSD 4.4 release artwork</a> honoured
905: the (Berkeley) CSRG guys for their efforts with the BSD 4.4
906: release -- they fought and managed to free the code.<br>
907: <br>
908: This release the artwork is based on the stories of Douglas Adams,
909: including his favorite number -- 42. Therefore we can remember
910: the previous major achievement of CSRG - BSD 4.2.<br>
911: <br>
912: BSD 4.2 was
913: not free, but it created and integrated so many new
914: technologies that we all depend on today. Take a moment
915: to consider how many things first available in BSD 4.2 you are using
916: at this moment, to read this page -- sockets, AF_INET,
917: virtual memory, etc.<br>
918: <br>
919: Today, new releases of operating systems from well-known vendors
920: contain less new features than BSD 4.2 did.<br>
921: <br>
922: If only we could stop slacking and make a release like that!

1338: Nearly 10 years ago Kirk McKusick wrote a history of
1339: the Berkeley Unix distributions for the
1.121 deraadt 1340: O'Reilly book "Open Sources: Voices from the Open Source Revolution".
1.104 deraadt 1341: We recommend you read his story, entitled
1342: <a href="http://oreilly.com/catalog/opensources/book/kirkmck.html">
1343: "Twenty Years of Berkeley Unix
1344: From AT&T-Owned to Freely Redistributable"</a>
1345: first, to see how Kirk remembers how we got here.
1346: Sadly, since it showed up in book form originally, this text has
1347: probably not been read by enough people.
1348: <br>
1349: <br>
1350: The USL(AT&T) vs BSDI/UCB court case settlement documents were
1351: not public until recently; their disclosure has made the facts more clear.
1352: But the story of how three people decided to free the BSD codebase
1353: of corporate pollution -- and release it freely -- is more interesting
1354: than the lawsuit which followed. Sure, a stupid lawsuit happened which
1355: hindered the acceptance of the BSD code during a critical period.
1356: But how did a bunch of guys go through the effort of replacing so
1357: much AT&T code in the first place? After all, companies had
1358: lots of really evil lawyers back then too -- were they not afraid?
1359: <br>
1360: <br>
1361: After a decade of development, most of the AT&T code had
1362: already been replaced by university researchers and their associates.
1363: So Keith Bostic, Mike Karels and Kirk McKusick (the main UCB CSRG group)
1364: started going through the 4.3BSD codebase to cleanse the rest.
1365: Keith, in particular, built a ragtag team (in those days, USENIX
1366: conferences were a gold mine for such team building) and led these
1367: rebels to rewrite and replace all the Imperial AT&T code, piece by
1368: piece, starting with the libraries and userland programs.
1369: Anyone who helped only got credit as a Contributor -- people like
1370: Chris Torek and a cast of .. hundreds more.
1371: <br>
1372: <br>
1.105 deraadt 1373: Then Mike and Kirk purified the kernel. After a bit more careful
1.104 deraadt 1374: checking, this led to the release of a clean tree called Net/2 which
1375: was given to the world in June 1991 -- the largest dump of free source
1376: code the world had ever received (for those days -- not modern monsters like OpenOffice).
1377: <br>
1378: <br>
1379: Some of these ragtags formed a company (BSDi) to sell a production system
1380: based on this free code base, and a year later Unix System Laboratories
1381: (basically AT&T) sued BSDi and UCB.
1382: Eventually AT&T lost and after a few trifling fixes (described in the
1383: lawsuit documents) the codebase was free. A few newer developments
1384: (and more free code) were added, and released in June 1994 as 4.4BSD-Lite.
1385: Just over 14 years later OpenBSD is releasing its own 4.4 release (and for
1386: a lot less than <a href=orders.html>$1000 per copy</a>).
1387: <br>
1388: <br>
1389: The OpenBSD 4.4 release is dedicated to Keith Bostic, Mike Karels, Kirk McKusick,
1390: and all of those who contributed to making Net/2 and 4.4BSD-Lite free.

1510: <br>
1511: In 1998 when a United Airlines plane was waiting in the queue at
1.102 deraadt 1512: Washington Dulles International Airport for take-off to New Orleans
1513: (where a Usenix conference was taking place), one man stood up from
1514: his seat, demanded that they stop waiting in the queue and be permitted
1.95 deraadt 1515: to deplane. Even after orders from the crew and a pilot from
1516: the cockpit he refused to sit down. The plane exited the queue
1.96 deraadt 1517: and returned to the airport gangway. Security personnel ran onto
1.95 deraadt 1518: the plane and removed this man, Richard Stallman, from the plane.
1519: After Richard was removed from the plane, everyone else stayed
1520: onboard and continued their journey to New Orleans. A few
1521: OpenBSD developers were on that same plane, seated very closeby,
1522: so we have an accurate story of the events.
1523: <br>
1524: <br>
1525: This is the man who presumes that he should preach to us
1526: about morality, freedom, and what is best for us. He believes
1527: it is his God-given role to tell us what is best for us, when he
1528: has shown that he takes actions which are not best for everyone.
1529: He prefers actions which he thinks are best for him -- and him
1530: alone -- and then lies to the public. Richard Stallman is no Spock.
1531: <br>
1532: <br>
1533: We release our software in ways that are maximally free. We
1534: remove all restrictions on use and distribution, but leave a
1535: requirement to be known as the authors. We follow a pattern of
1536: free source code distribution that started in the mid-1980's
1537: in Berkeley, from before Richard Stallman had any powerful
1538: influence which he could use so falsely.
1539: <br>
1540: <br>
1541: We have a development sub-tree called "ports". Our "ports" tree
1542: builds software that is 'found on the net' into packages that
1543: OpenBSD users can use more easily. A scaffold of Makefiles and
1544: scripts automatically fetch these pieces of software, apply
1545: patches as required by OpenBSD, and then build them into nice
1546: neat little tarballs. This is provided as a convenience for
1.97 okan 1547: users. The ports tree is maintained by OpenBSD entirely separately
1.95 deraadt 1548: from our main source tree. Some of the software which is fetched
1549: and compiled is not as free as we would like, but what can we do.
1550: All the other operating system projects make exactly the same
1551: decision, and provide these same conveniences to their users.
1552: <br>
1553: <br>
1554: Richard felt that this "ports tree" of ours made OpenBSD non-free.
1555: He came to our mailing lists and lectured to us specifically, yet
1556: he said nothing to the many other vendors who do the same; many of
1557: them donate to the FSF and perhaps that has something to do with it.
1558: Meanwhile, Richard has personally made sure that all the official
1559: GNU software -- including Emacs -- compiles and runs on Windows.
1560: <br>
1561: <br>
1562: That man is a false leader. He is a hypocrite. There may be some
1563: people who listen to him. But we don't listen to people who do not
1564: follow their own stupid rules.

1663: Those of us who work on OpenBSD are often asked why we do what we do.
1.91 merdely 1664: This song's lyrics express the core motivations and goals which have
1.90 deraadt 1665: remained unchanged over the years - secure, free, reliable software,
1666: that can be shared with anyone. Many other projects purport to share
1667: these same goals, and love to wrap themselves in a banner of "Open
1668: Source" and "Free Software". Given how many projects there are one
1669: would think it might be easy to stick to those goals, but it doesn't
1670: seem to work out that way. A variety of desires drag many projects
1671: away from the ideals very quickly.
1672: <p>
1.93 jmc 1673: Much of any operating system's usability depends on device support,
1.91 merdely 1674: and there are some very tempting alternative ways to support devices
1.90 deraadt 1675: available to those who will surrender their moral code. A project
1676: could compromise by entering into NDA agreements with vendors, or
1677: including binary objects in the operating system for which no source
1678: code exists, or tying their users down with contract terms hidden
1679: inside copyright notices. All of these choices surrender some subset
1680: of the ideals, and we simply will not do this. Sure, we care about
1681: getting devices working, but not at the expense of our original goals.
1682: <p>
1683: Of course since "free to share with anyone" is part of our goals,
1684: we've been at the forefront of many licensing and NDA issues,
1.91 merdely 1685: resulting in a good number of successes. This success had led to much
1.90 deraadt 1686: recognition for the advancement of Free Software causes, but has also
1687: led to other issues.
1688: <p>
1689: We fully admit that some BSD licensed software has been taken and used
1690: by many commercial entities, but contributions come back more often
1691: than people seem to know, and when they do, they're always still
1692: properly attributed to the original authors, and given back in the
1693: same spirit that they were given in the first place.
1694: <p>
1695: That's the best we can expect from companies. After all, we make our
1696: stuff so free so that everyone can benefit -- it remains a core goal;
1697: we really have not strayed at all in 10 years. But we can expect more
1698: from projects who talk about sharing -- such as the various Linux
1699: projects.
1700: <p>
1701: Now rather than seeing us as friends who can cooperatively improve all
1702: codebases, we are seen as foes who oppose the GPL. The participants
1703: of "the race" are being manipulated by the FSF and their legal arm, the
1704: SFLC, for the FSF's aims, rather than the goal of getting good source
1705: into Linux (and all other code bases). We don't want this to come off
1706: as some conspiracy theory, but we simply urge those developers caution
1707: -- they should ensure that the path they are being shown by those who
1708: have positioned themselves as leaders is still true. Run for yourself,
1709: not for their agenda.
1710: <p>
1711: The Race is there to be run, for ourselves, not for others. We do
1712: what we do to run our own race, and finish it the best we can. We
1713: don't rush off at every distraction, or worry how this will affect our
1714: image. We are here to have fun doing right.

1816: As developers of a free operating system, one of our prime responsibilities
1817: is device support. No matter how nice an operating system is, it remains
1818: useless and unusable without solid support for a wide percentage of the
1819: hardware that is available on the market. It is therefore rather unsurprising
1820: that more than half of our efforts focus on various aspects relating to
1821: device support.
1822: <p>
1.85 mbalmer 1823: Most parts of the operating system (from low kernel, through to libraries,
1.81 deraadt 1824: all the way up to X, and then even to applications) use fairly obvious
1825: interface layers, where the "communication protocols" or "argument passing"
1826: mechanisms (ie. APIs) can be understood by any developer who takes the
1827: time to read the free code. Device drivers pose an additional and significant
1828: challenge though: because many vendors refuse to document the exact behavior
1829: of their devices. The devices are black boxes. And often they are surprisingly
1830: weird, or even buggy.
1831: <p>
1832: When vendor documentation does not exist, the development process can
1833: become extremely hairy. Groups of developers have found themselves focused
1834: for months at a time, figuring out the most simple steps, simply because
1835: the hardware is a complete mystery. Access to documentation can ease
1836: these difficulties rapidly. However, getting access to the chip documentation
1837: from vendors is ... almost always a negotiation. If we had open access to
1.84 matthieu 1838: documentation, anyone would be able to see how simple all these devices
1.81 deraadt 1839: actually are, and device driver development would flourish (and not just in
1840: OpenBSD, either).
1841: <p>
1842: When we proceed into negotiations with vendors, asking for documentation,
1843: our position is often weak. One would assume that the modern market is fair,
1844: and that selling chips would be the primary focus of these vendors. But
1845: unfortunately a number of behemoth software vendors have spent the last 10 or
1846: 20 years building

1849: <p>
1.82 jsg 1850: A particularly nasty player in this regard has been the Linux vendors and
1.87 tom 1851: some Linux developers, who have played along with an American corporate model
1.81 deraadt 1852: of requiring NDAs for chip documentation. This has effectively put Linux
1853: into the club with Microsoft, but has left all the other operating system
1854: communities -- and their developers -- with much less available clout for
1855: requesting documentation. In a more fair world, the Linux vendors would
1856: work with us, and the device driver support in all free operating systems
1857: would be fantastic by now.

1884: <br>

2208: OpenBSD emphasizes security. It also emphasizes openness. All the code
2209: is there for all to see. Blobs are vendor-compiled binary drivers
2210: without any source code. Hardware makers like them because they
2211: obscure the details of how to make their hardware work. They hide bugs
2212: and workarounds for bugs. Newer versions of blobs can weaken support
2213: for older hardware and motivate people to buy new hardware.<br>
2214: <br>
2215: <br>
2216: Blobs are expedient. Many other open source operating systems
2217: cheerfully incorporate them; in fact their users demand them.<br>
2218: <br>
2219: <br>
2220: But when you need to trust the system, how do you check the blob for
2221: quality? For adherence to standards? How do you know the blob contains
2222: no malicious code? No incompetent code? Inspection is impossible; you
2223: can only test the black box. And when it breaks, you have no idea why.<br>
2224: <br>
2225: <br>
2226: <ul>
2227: <li>Blobs can be 'de-supported' by vendors<br>
2228: at any time.<br>
2229: <br>
2230: <li>Blobs cannot be supported by developers.<br>
2231: <br>
2232: <li>Blobs cannot be fixed by developers.<br>
2233: <br>
2234: <li>Blobs cannot be improved.<br>
2235: <br>
2236: <li>Blobs cannot be audited.<br>
2237: <br>
2238: <li>
2239: Blobs are specific to an architecture, thus<br>
2240: less portable.<br>
2241: <br>
2242: <li>Blobs are quite often massively bloated.<br>
2243: </ul>
2244: <br>
2245: <br>
2246: This release, like every OpenBSD release, contains OpenBSD and its
2247: source code. It runs on a wide variety of hardware. It contains many
2248: new features and improvements. OpenBSD does attempt to convince
2249: vendors to release documentation, and often reverse-engineers around
2250: the need for blobs. OpenBSD remains blob-free. Anyone can look at it,
1.157 ! deraadt 2251: assess it, improve it. If it breaks, it can be fixed.

2391: For a multitude of (stupid) reasons, vendors often attempt to lock
2392: out our participation with their customers by refusing to give our
2393: programmers sufficient documentation so that we can properly support
2394: their devices.
2395: <p>
2396: Take Adaptec for instance. Before the 3.7 release we disabled support
2397: for the
1.70 steven 2398: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=aac&sektion=4">aac(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 2399: Adaptec RAID driver because negotiations with the Adaptec had failed.
2400: They refused to give us documentation. Without documentation, support
2401: for their controller had always been poor. The driver had bugs (which
2402: affected some users more than others) which caused crashes, and of
2403: course there was no RAID management support. Apparently most of these
1.59 jolan 2404: bugs are because the Adaptec controllers have numerous buggy firmware
2405: issues which require careful workarounds; without documentation we
2406: cannot solve these issues.
1.58 deraadt 2407: <p>
2408: The driver was written by an OpenBSD developer, who cribbed parts
2409: of it from a FreeBSD driver written by an ex-Adaptec employee. But no
2410: public documentation exists, and Adaptec has dozens of cards with
2411: different firmware issues. All of this adds up to a very desperate
2412: development model -- it becomes very hard for the principle of
2413: "quality" to show its head.
2414: <p>
2415: RAID devices have two main qualities that people buy them for:
2416: <br>
2417: <ul>
1.60 pvalchev 2418: <li>Redundancy
1.58 deraadt 2419: <li>Repair
2420: </ul>
2421: You want a RAID unit to provide you with redundancy, so that if some drives
1.60 pvalchev 2422: fail, your data is not lost. But once a drive has failed, you require your
2423: array to (automatically, most likely) perform the operations to repair
1.58 deraadt 2424: itself, so that it is functioning perfectly again.
2425: <p>
2426: Some vendors (or like the above Adaptec case, ex-employee) have
2427: sometimes given us some documentation so that we could write drivers,
2428: so that their devices could support Redundancy. But these vendors have
2429: never given us any documentation for performing Repairs.
2430: <p>
2431: Instead these vendors have tried to pass out non-free RAID management
2432: tools. These are typically gigantic Linux binaries, or some crazy thing, that
1.67 jolan 2433: is supposed to work through a bizarre interface in the device driver, which
1.58 deraadt 2434: we are apparently supposed to write code for without any documentation.
2435: <p>
2436: And since we refuse to accept our users being forced into depending on
2437: vendor binaries, we have reverse engineered the management interface for
2438: the AMI controllers.
2439: <p>
2440: There is no great "intellectual property" in this stuff, it is all
2441: rather simple primitives. This is all that we need to implement
2442: basic RAID management:
2443: <ul>
2444: <li>SCSI transactions on the back-side busses
2445: <li>Discovering which drives are in which volumes
2446: <li>Being able to silence the buzzer
2447: <li>Marking a new drive as a Hot-Spare
2448: </ul>
2449: <p>
2450: The AMI driver needed to support these small primitive operations.
2451: And once we had that, we rely on something else which we know: Almost
2452: all the RAID controllers would need the same primitives.
2453: <p>
2454: Thus armed, we were able to write a generic framework which would later
2455: work on other vendors' RAID cards, that is, once we get documentation
2456: or do some reverse engineering for their products.
2457: <p>
1.60 pvalchev 2458: But having been ignored for so long by these vendors, it is not clear when (if
2459: ever) we will get around to writing that support for Adaptec RAID
1.58 deraadt 2460: controllers now. And Adaptec has gone and bought ICP Vortex, which
2461: may mean we can never get documentation for the
1.70 steven 2462: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=gdt&sektion=4">gdt(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 2463: controllers.
2464: The "Open Source Friendly liar" IBM owns Mylex, and Mylex has told us we
2465: would not get documentation, either.
2466: 3Ware has lied to us and our users so many times they make politicians
2467: look saintly.
2468: <p>
2469: Until other vendors give us documentation, if you want reliable RAID
2470: in OpenBSD, please buy
2471: <a href="http://www.lsilogic.com/products/megaraid/index.html">LSI/AMI</a>

2568: For an operating system to get anywhere in "the market" it must have
2569: good device support.<br>
2570: <br>
2571: Ethernet was our first concern. Many vendors refused to supply
2572: programmers with programming documentation for these chipsets. Donald
2573: Becker (Linux) and Bill Paul (FreeBSD) changed the rules of the game
2574: here: They wrote drivers for the chipsets that they could get
2575: documentation for, and as they succeeded in writing more and more
2576: drivers, eventually closed vendors slowly opened up until most
2577: ethernet chipset documentation was available. Today, some vendors
2578: still resist releasing ethernet chipset documentation (ie. Broadcom,
1.62 brad 2579: Intel, Marvell/SysKonnect, NVIDIA) but the driver problem is mostly
1.46 henning 2580: solved in the ethernet market.<br>
1.44 deraadt 2581: <br>
2582: Similar problems have happened in the SCSI, IDE, and RAID markets.
2583: Again, the problem was solved by writing drivers for documented
2584: devices first. If the free software user communities use those drivers
2585: preferentially, it is a market loss for the secretive vendors.
2586: Another approach that has worked is to publish email addresses and
2587: phone numbers for the marketing department managers in these
2588: companies. These email campaigns have worked almost every time.<br>
2589: <br>
2590: The new frontier: 802.11 wireless chipsets.<br>
2591: <br>
2592: Over the last six months, this came to a head in the OpenBSD project.
2593: We asked our users to help us petition numerous vendors so that we
2594: could get chipset documentation or redistributable firmware. Certainly, we did
1.52 deraadt 2595: not succeed for some vendors. But we did influence some vendors, in
1.44 deraadt 2596: particular the Taiwanese (Ralink and Realtek), who have given us
2597: everything we need. We also reverse engineered the Atheros chipsets.<br>
2598: <br>
2599:
2600: Want to help us? Avoid
2601: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ipw">Intel Centrino</a>,
2602: Broadcom, TI, or Connexant PrismGT chipsets.
2603: Heck, avoid buying even regular
1.48 deraadt 2604: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=wi">old pre-G Prism products</a>,
1.44 deraadt 2605: to send a message.

2611: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ath">Atheros</a>.
2612: Our manual pages attempt to explain which vendors (ie. D-Link) box
1.52 deraadt 2613: which chipsets into which product.
1.44 deraadt 2614: <br>
2615: <br>
2616: Send a message that open support for hardware matters. A vendor in
1.56 cloder 2617: Redmond largely continues their practices because they get
1.44 deraadt 2618: the chipset documentation years before everyone else does.
2619: What really upsets us the most is that some Linux vendors are signing
2620: Non-Disclosure Agreements with vendors, or contracts that let them
2621: distribute firmwares. Meanwhile both Linux and FSF head developers
1.49 nick 2622: are not asking their communities to help us in our efforts to free

2728: What is up with some free software providers?!
2729: They say "Here's something free! Oh wait, I changed my mind."
2730: <p>
2731: While not exactly bait-and-switch, this is something which
2732: has been causing the community continual grief, and therefore
2733: we decided to honour a few of the projects that have decided
1.41 deraadt 2734: to go non-free. After all.. having gone non-free, no one is
1.37 deraadt 2735: going to remember them in the end.
2736: <p>
2737: This song is dedicated to a few worthy groups who
2738: have made this Free-to-Non-Free transition with their
2739: offerings in the last few years:
2740: <ul>
2741: <li>David Dawes worked for years with a team of
2742: developers to make a free X11 distribution for us to use,
2743: called XFree86, 98% of which was based on entirely free
2744: code from MIT. Suddenly, one day, he decided that
2745: we must give him more credit (ie. advertise his name) or
2746: stop using it. Within about 4 months every project had
2747: told him to get stuffed, and the community has created a
2748: replacement effort.
1.41 deraadt 2749: Now his team cannot even keep their web pages up to date...
1.37 deraadt 2750: <p>
2751: <li>OpenBSD was the first operating system to integrate a
2752: packet filter, and it was the ipf codebase from Darren Reed
2753: that we chose. But a few years later he told us that we
2754: were not free to make changes to the code. So we deleted ipf,
2755: and our new packet filter far exceeds the capabilities of the
2756: one he wrote. And other projects are switching too...
2757: <p>
2758: <li>The Apache group started from the humble beginnings
2759: of just being 'a patchy' set of changes to a completely free
2760: web server of dubious quality. But the years have changed them,
2761: and what they supply is now quite non-free... released under
1.40 jolan 2762: a license so entangled in legalese that we have absolutely no
1.51 jcs 2763: doubt that there are encumbrances hidden within. Legal terms
1.37 deraadt 2764: protect. Who are they protecting? Not your freedom.
2765: </ul>
2766: So here's a goodbye to those three groups, and a warning to any
2767: others who will follow them:
2768: Make your stuff non-free, and something else will
2769: replace it.

2892: A common theme used by the comedy crew Monty Python was to emphasize
2893: and exaggerate ridiculousnesses that their target had imposed upon
2894: themselves. Few things could be considered as humorous as making a
2895: redundancy protocol... redundant; e.g. being forced to replace it by
2896: Cisco lawyers and IETF policy.
2897: <p>
2898: We've been working a few years now on our packet filtering software
2899: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>
2900: and it became time to add failover. We want to be able to set up pf
2901: firewalls side by side, and exchange the stateful information between
2902: them, so that in case of failure another could take over 'keep state'
2903: sessions. Our
2904: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>
2905: protocol solves this problem. However, on both sides of the firewall,
2906: it is also necessary to have all the regular hosts not see a
2907: network failure. The only reliable way to do this is for both
2908: firewall machines to have and use the same IP and MAC addresses. But
2909: the only real way to do that is to use multicast protocols.
2910: <p>
2911: The IETF community proposed work in this direction in the late
2912: 90's, however in 1997 Cisco informed them that they believed some of
2913: Cisco's patents covered the proposed IETF VRRP (Virtual Router
2914: Redundancy Protocol); on
2915: <a href="http://www.ietf.org/ietf/IPR/VRRP-CISCO">
2916: March 20, 1998 they went further and specifically named their HSRP
2917: "Hot Standby Router Protocol" patent</a>. Reputedly, they were upset
2918: that IETF had not simply adopted the flawed HSRP protocol as the
2919: standard solution for this problem. Despite this legal pressure, the
2920: IETF community forged ahead and published VRRP as a standard even
2921: though there was a patent in the space. Why?
1.144 deraadt 2922: <a href="http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/doc/ietf/vrrp/vrrp-minutes-97dec.txt">
1.30 deraadt 2923: There was much deliberation</a>
2924: at all levels of the IETF, and unfortunately for all of us the
2925: politicians within eventually decided to allow patented technology in
2926: standards -- as long as the patented technology is licensed under RAND
2927: (Reasonable And Non Discriminatory) terms. As free software
2928: programmers, we therefore find ourselves in the position that these
2929: RAND standards must not be implemented by us, and we must deviate from
2930: the standard. We find all this rather Unreasonable and Discriminatory
2931: and we *will* design competing protocols. Some standards organization,
2932: eh?
2933: <p>
2934: Due to some HSRP flaws fixed by VRRP and for compatibility with the
2935: (HSRP-licensed) VRRP implementations of their competitors, Cisco in
2936: recent times has largely abandoned HSRP and now relies on VRRP instead
2937: -- a protocol designed for and by the community, but for which they
2938: claim patent rights.
2939: <p>
2940: On August 7 2002, after many communications, Robert Barr (Cisco's
2941: lawyer) firmly informed the OpenBSD community that Cisco would defend
2942: its patents for VRRP implementations -- meaning basically that it was
2943: impossible for a free software group to produce a truly free
2944: implementation of the IETF standard protocol. Perhaps this is because
2945: Cisco and Alcatel are currently engaged in a pair of patent lawsuits; a
2946: small piece of which is Cisco attempting to use the HSRP patent
2947: against Alcatel for their use of VRRP. Some IETF working group
2948: members took note of our complaints,
1.122 deraadt 2949: <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20061109082106/http://lists.microshaft.org/pipermail/dmca_discuss/2003-April/004702.html">
1.30 deraadt 2950: however an attempt in April 2003 to have the IETF abandon the use of
2951: patented technology failed to "reach consensus" in the IETF</a>.
2952: <p>
2953: A few years ago, the W3C, who designs our web protocols, tried to move
2954: to a RAND policy as well (primarily because of pressure from Microsoft
2955: and Apple), but the community outrage was so overpowering that they
2956: backed down. Some standards groups use this policy, while others
2957: avoid it -- the one differentiation being the amount of corporate
1.55 tom 2958: participation. In the IETF, the pro-RAND agents work for AT&T,
1.30 deraadt 2959: Alcatel, IBM, Cisco, Microsoft, and other large companies. Since IETF
2960: is an open forum, they can blend in as the populace, and vote just
2961: like all others, except against the community.
2962: <p>
2963: Translation: In failing to "reach consensus", the companies who
2964: benefit from RAND won, and the community lost again.
2965: <p>
2966: Left with little choice, we proceeded to reinvent the wheel or, more
2967: correctly, abandon the wheel entirely and go for a "hovercraft". We
2968: designed CARP (Common Address Redundancy Protocol) to solve the same
2969: problem that these other protocols are designed for, but without the
2970: same technological basis as HSRP and VRRP. We read the patent
2971: document carefully and ensured that CARP was fundamentally different.
2972: We also avoided many of the flaws in HSRP and VRRP (such as an inherent
2973: lack of security). And since we are OpenBSD developers, we designed
2974: it to use cryptography.
2975: <p>
2976: The combination of
2977: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>,
2978: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>, and
2979: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=carp&sektion=4">carp(4)</a>
2980: has permitted us to build highly redundant firewalls. To date, we
2981: have built a few networks that include as many as 4 firewalls, all
2982: running random reboot cycles. As long as one firewall is alive in a
2983: group, traffic through them moves smoothly and correctly for all of
2984: our packet filter functionality. Cisco's low end products are unable
2985: to do this reliably, and if they have high end products which can do
2986: this, you most certainly cannot afford them.
2987: <p>
2988: As a final note of course, when we petitioned IANA, the IETF body
2989: regulating "official" internet protocol numbers, to give us numbers
2990: for CARP and pfsync our request was denied. Apparently we had failed
2991: to go through an official standards organization. Consequently we
2992: were forced to choose a protocol number which would not conflict with
2993: anything else of value, and decided to place CARP at IP protocol 112.
2994: We also placed pfsync at an open and unused number. We informed IANA of
2995: these decisions, but they declined to reply.
2996: <p>
2997: This ridiculous situation then inspired one of our developers to create
2998: this parody of the well-known Monty Python skit and song.

1.26 deraadt 3288: the Sheriff (an unelected leader) and other evil
1.20 deraadt 3289: forces of the draconian government!
3290: <p>
3291: <br>
3292: As we did for the 3.3 release, we have once again tried
3293: making release artwork and music which are allegorical
3294: of recent happenings.
3295: <p>
3296: Two years ago we became involved with the University
3297: of Pennsylvania and DARPA, who were funding us to do
3298: security research and development .. on things that
3299: we were already intending to do. We provided ideas,
3300: wrote papers, and deployed cutting-edge technology;
3301: DARPA provided finances and reaped a share of the
3302: credit, and the University of Pennsylvania acted as
3303: a middle-man. We accepted funding based on the
3304: promise that our freedom to operate as we wished
3305: was unaffected. To us, freedom is more important
1.21 deraadt 3306: than funding -- heck, we were dealing with the evil
1.20 deraadt 3307: forces of government, and needed to be careful.
3308: <p>
3309: A few months prior to this release, DARPA suddenly
3310: and without warning decided to withdraw that funding;
3311: they also aggressively backed out of contractual
3312: obligations. Many articles in the <a href=press.html>press</a> followed regarding
1.67 jolan 3313: this sudden maneuver. Apparently this hoopla happened
1.20 deraadt 3314: because an OpenBSD-related article in the Canadian
1.55 tom 3315: newspaper The Globe & Mail had quoted Theo de Raadt
1.20 deraadt 3316: making anti-war statements regarding Iraq and the
3317: theft of oil.
3318: <p>
3319: The only answer given (to major media reporters) by a
3320: DARPA spokesperson (Jan Walker) was this:
3321: <p>
3322: "As a result of the DARPA review of the
3323: project, and due to world events and the evolving
3324: threat posed by increasingly capable nation-states,
3325: the Government on April 21 advised the University
3326: to suspend work on the "security fest" portion of
3327: the project."
3328: <p>
3329: That almost toes the line of calling us terrorists!
3330: We had lost financial support, but the release of the
3331: statement above suddenly made us very happy to be free
3332: of any perceived obligation to such crazy people.
3333: <p>
3334: Since the termination came near natural contract
3335: termination (about 4 months remained), less damage
3336: than expected was sustained by the project. Sponsors
3337: stepped forward and helped us make up the missing funds
3338: we needed to run our "Hackathon", and the event
1.61 grunk 3339: proceeded as planned. We even had T-shirts made with
1.20 deraadt 3340: "Workstations of Mass Development" artwork for those
3341: developers who attended (sorry, they are not for sale).
3342: <p>
3343: We could not make stories like this up. So instead,
3344: we are making up an allegory about it, using the tale
3345: of Robin Hood.
