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.

350: In January of 2038, 32-bit Unix time will overflow and wrap
351: back to 1901. This is known as the
352: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem">Year 2038 problem</a>.
353: POSIX operating systems have made strong inroads into embedded
354: roles, so this is anticipated to be substantially worse than the Y2K transition.
355: <p>
1.146 guenther 356: In August of 2012, Philip Guenther started the OpenBSD work to
1.157 deraadt 357: solve this.
1.146 guenther 358: After a year of work it was ready enough for merging, and in August 2013
359: the <b>time_t</b> type was changed to int64_t on all
360: platforms and the kernel and userland were adapted to the new
361: situation. The initial work was committed right after OpenBSD 5.4,
362: then polished in tree over the next 6 months.
1.144 deraadt 363: <p>
364: The next part of the process was to drag the "ports" software
1.146 guenther 365: ecosystem along because no one else had paved the way for 32-bit
1.144 deraadt 366: machines to run with 64-bit <b>time_t</b>. This required a fair
367: bit of upstream involvement. Thousands of fixes were required to
368: make both 32-bit and 64-bit time work transparently. There will
369: be more fixing in the future, but the concept is proven.
370: <p>
371: In the past OpenBSD pushed risky theoretical ideas into mainstream
372: software practice by proving the ecosystem was ready to change.
373: No OS wants to make a ABI jump until the case for change is proven.
374: Stack protection, ASLR, and W^X principles are now in common use
375: by mainline operating systems... because things like Firefox
376: and Postgresql don't break anymore. OpenBSD built that route.
377: <p>
378: In the same way, the road is paved for the 64-bit <b>time_t</b>
379: transition. Other operating systems can now make this jump.

1.132 beck 552: Just as the original song professed its love for Brazil, "World,
553: you'll love my Linux" is the passionate call of an idealistic dreamer
554: who can't bear the thought of software that will only run under
555: Windows, and yet loves the situation with software that will only run
556: under particular Linux distributions.
557: <p>
558: This problem has proliferated itself into the standards bodies, with
559: Posix adopting Linuxisms ahead of any other variant of Unix.
560: <p>
561: Posix and Unix have made it where you can write reasonably portable
562: software and have it compile and run across a multitude of platforms.
1.157 deraadt 563: Now this seems to be changing as the love for Linux drives the
564: standards bodies into accepting everything Linux, good and bad.
1.132 beck 565: <p>
566: We also are faced with groups writing software that only works
567: with particular distributions of Linux. From this we get software that
568: not only isn't very portable, but often not particularly stable. Our
569: idealistic dreamer in the song loves running one, or more than one distribution
570: of Linux for a particular purpose. Unfortunately, the rest of us are left
571: with the unattractive choice of doing the same, or relying on
572: herculean efforts to port software that is being actively developed in a
1.157 deraadt 573: way to discourage porting it to other platforms.

926: This release is OpenBSD 4.9. Then why is
927: the song about 4.2? Huh?<br>
928: <br>
929: The <a href="#44">OpenBSD 4.4 release artwork</a> honoured
930: the (Berkeley) CSRG guys for their efforts with the BSD 4.4
931: release -- they fought and managed to free the code.<br>
932: <br>
933: This release the artwork is based on the stories of Douglas Adams,
934: including his favorite number -- 42. Therefore we can remember
935: the previous major achievement of CSRG - BSD 4.2.<br>
936: <br>
937: BSD 4.2 was
938: not free, but it created and integrated so many new
939: technologies that we all depend on today. Take a moment
940: to consider how many things first available in BSD 4.2 you are using
941: at this moment, to read this page -- sockets, AF_INET,
942: virtual memory, etc.<br>
943: <br>
944: Today, new releases of operating systems from well-known vendors
945: contain less new features than BSD 4.2 did.<br>
946: <br>
947: If only we could stop slacking and make a release like that!

1362: <em>
1363: Nearly 10 years ago Kirk McKusick wrote a history of
1364: the Berkeley Unix distributions for the
1.121 deraadt 1365: O'Reilly book "Open Sources: Voices from the Open Source Revolution".
1.104 deraadt 1366: We recommend you read his story, entitled
1367: <a href="http://oreilly.com/catalog/opensources/book/kirkmck.html">
1368: "Twenty Years of Berkeley Unix
1369: From AT&T-Owned to Freely Redistributable"</a>
1370: first, to see how Kirk remembers how we got here.
1371: Sadly, since it showed up in book form originally, this text has
1372: probably not been read by enough people.
1373: <br>
1374: <br>
1375: The USL(AT&T) vs BSDI/UCB court case settlement documents were
1376: not public until recently; their disclosure has made the facts more clear.
1377: But the story of how three people decided to free the BSD codebase
1378: of corporate pollution -- and release it freely -- is more interesting
1379: than the lawsuit which followed. Sure, a stupid lawsuit happened which
1380: hindered the acceptance of the BSD code during a critical period.
1381: But how did a bunch of guys go through the effort of replacing so
1382: much AT&T code in the first place? After all, companies had
1383: lots of really evil lawyers back then too -- were they not afraid?
1384: <br>
1385: <br>
1386: After a decade of development, most of the AT&T code had
1387: already been replaced by university researchers and their associates.
1388: So Keith Bostic, Mike Karels and Kirk McKusick (the main UCB CSRG group)
1389: started going through the 4.3BSD codebase to cleanse the rest.
1390: Keith, in particular, built a ragtag team (in those days, USENIX
1391: conferences were a gold mine for such team building) and led these
1392: rebels to rewrite and replace all the Imperial AT&T code, piece by
1393: piece, starting with the libraries and userland programs.
1394: Anyone who helped only got credit as a Contributor -- people like
1395: Chris Torek and a cast of .. hundreds more.
1396: <br>
1397: <br>
1.105 deraadt 1398: Then Mike and Kirk purified the kernel. After a bit more careful
1.104 deraadt 1399: checking, this led to the release of a clean tree called Net/2 which
1400: was given to the world in June 1991 -- the largest dump of free source
1401: code the world had ever received (for those days -- not modern monsters like OpenOffice).
1402: <br>
1403: <br>
1404: Some of these ragtags formed a company (BSDi) to sell a production system
1405: based on this free code base, and a year later Unix System Laboratories
1406: (basically AT&T) sued BSDi and UCB.
1407: Eventually AT&T lost and after a few trifling fixes (described in the
1408: lawsuit documents) the codebase was free. A few newer developments
1409: (and more free code) were added, and released in June 1994 as 4.4BSD-Lite.
1410: Just over 14 years later OpenBSD is releasing its own 4.4 release (and for
1411: a lot less than <a href=orders.html>$1000 per copy</a>).
1412: <br>
1413: <br>
1414: The OpenBSD 4.4 release is dedicated to Keith Bostic, Mike Karels, Kirk McKusick,
1415: and all of those who contributed to making Net/2 and 4.4BSD-Lite free.

1472: every book with proper dues<br>
1473: <br>

1488: <br>
1489: And OpenBSD is here<br>

1534: <br>
1535: <br>
1536: In 1998 when a United Airlines plane was waiting in the queue at
1.102 deraadt 1537: Washington Dulles International Airport for take-off to New Orleans
1538: (where a Usenix conference was taking place), one man stood up from
1539: his seat, demanded that they stop waiting in the queue and be permitted
1.95 deraadt 1540: to deplane. Even after orders from the crew and a pilot from
1541: the cockpit he refused to sit down. The plane exited the queue
1.96 deraadt 1542: and returned to the airport gangway. Security personnel ran onto
1.95 deraadt 1543: the plane and removed this man, Richard Stallman, from the plane.
1544: After Richard was removed from the plane, everyone else stayed
1545: onboard and continued their journey to New Orleans. A few
1546: OpenBSD developers were on that same plane, seated very closeby,
1547: so we have an accurate story of the events.
1548: <br>
1549: <br>
1550: This is the man who presumes that he should preach to us
1551: about morality, freedom, and what is best for us. He believes
1552: it is his God-given role to tell us what is best for us, when he
1553: has shown that he takes actions which are not best for everyone.
1554: He prefers actions which he thinks are best for him -- and him
1555: alone -- and then lies to the public. Richard Stallman is no Spock.
1556: <br>
1557: <br>
1558: We release our software in ways that are maximally free. We
1559: remove all restrictions on use and distribution, but leave a
1560: requirement to be known as the authors. We follow a pattern of
1561: free source code distribution that started in the mid-1980's
1562: in Berkeley, from before Richard Stallman had any powerful
1563: influence which he could use so falsely.
1564: <br>
1565: <br>
1566: We have a development sub-tree called "ports". Our "ports" tree
1567: builds software that is 'found on the net' into packages that
1568: OpenBSD users can use more easily. A scaffold of Makefiles and
1569: scripts automatically fetch these pieces of software, apply
1570: patches as required by OpenBSD, and then build them into nice
1571: neat little tarballs. This is provided as a convenience for
1.97 okan 1572: users. The ports tree is maintained by OpenBSD entirely separately
1.95 deraadt 1573: from our main source tree. Some of the software which is fetched
1574: and compiled is not as free as we would like, but what can we do.
1575: All the other operating system projects make exactly the same
1576: decision, and provide these same conveniences to their users.
1577: <br>
1578: <br>
1579: Richard felt that this "ports tree" of ours made OpenBSD non-free.
1580: He came to our mailing lists and lectured to us specifically, yet
1581: he said nothing to the many other vendors who do the same; many of
1582: them donate to the FSF and perhaps that has something to do with it.
1583: Meanwhile, Richard has personally made sure that all the official
1584: GNU software -- including Emacs -- compiles and runs on Windows.
1585: <br>
1586: <br>
1587: That man is a false leader. He is a hypocrite. There may be some
1588: people who listen to him. But we don't listen to people who do not
1589: follow their own stupid rules.

1688: Those of us who work on OpenBSD are often asked why we do what we do.
1.91 merdely 1689: This song's lyrics express the core motivations and goals which have
1.90 deraadt 1690: remained unchanged over the years - secure, free, reliable software,
1691: that can be shared with anyone. Many other projects purport to share
1692: these same goals, and love to wrap themselves in a banner of "Open
1693: Source" and "Free Software". Given how many projects there are one
1694: would think it might be easy to stick to those goals, but it doesn't
1695: seem to work out that way. A variety of desires drag many projects
1696: away from the ideals very quickly.
1697: <p>
1.93 jmc 1698: Much of any operating system's usability depends on device support,
1.91 merdely 1699: and there are some very tempting alternative ways to support devices
1.90 deraadt 1700: available to those who will surrender their moral code. A project
1701: could compromise by entering into NDA agreements with vendors, or
1702: including binary objects in the operating system for which no source
1703: code exists, or tying their users down with contract terms hidden
1704: inside copyright notices. All of these choices surrender some subset
1705: of the ideals, and we simply will not do this. Sure, we care about
1706: getting devices working, but not at the expense of our original goals.
1707: <p>
1708: Of course since "free to share with anyone" is part of our goals,
1709: we've been at the forefront of many licensing and NDA issues,
1.91 merdely 1710: resulting in a good number of successes. This success had led to much
1.90 deraadt 1711: recognition for the advancement of Free Software causes, but has also
1712: led to other issues.
1713: <p>
1714: We fully admit that some BSD licensed software has been taken and used
1715: by many commercial entities, but contributions come back more often
1716: than people seem to know, and when they do, they're always still
1717: properly attributed to the original authors, and given back in the
1718: same spirit that they were given in the first place.
1719: <p>
1720: That's the best we can expect from companies. After all, we make our
1721: stuff so free so that everyone can benefit -- it remains a core goal;
1722: we really have not strayed at all in 10 years. But we can expect more
1723: from projects who talk about sharing -- such as the various Linux
1724: projects.
1725: <p>
1726: Now rather than seeing us as friends who can cooperatively improve all
1727: codebases, we are seen as foes who oppose the GPL. The participants
1728: of "the race" are being manipulated by the FSF and their legal arm, the
1729: SFLC, for the FSF's aims, rather than the goal of getting good source
1730: into Linux (and all other code bases). We don't want this to come off
1731: as some conspiracy theory, but we simply urge those developers caution
1732: -- they should ensure that the path they are being shown by those who
1733: have positioned themselves as leaders is still true. Run for yourself,
1734: not for their agenda.
1735: <p>
1736: The Race is there to be run, for ourselves, not for others. We do
1737: what we do to run our own race, and finish it the best we can. We
1738: don't rush off at every distraction, or worry how this will affect our
1739: image. We are here to have fun doing right.

1841: As developers of a free operating system, one of our prime responsibilities
1842: is device support. No matter how nice an operating system is, it remains
1843: useless and unusable without solid support for a wide percentage of the
1844: hardware that is available on the market. It is therefore rather unsurprising
1845: that more than half of our efforts focus on various aspects relating to
1846: device support.
1847: <p>
1.85 mbalmer 1848: Most parts of the operating system (from low kernel, through to libraries,
1.81 deraadt 1849: all the way up to X, and then even to applications) use fairly obvious
1850: interface layers, where the "communication protocols" or "argument passing"
1851: mechanisms (ie. APIs) can be understood by any developer who takes the
1852: time to read the free code. Device drivers pose an additional and significant
1853: challenge though: because many vendors refuse to document the exact behavior
1854: of their devices. The devices are black boxes. And often they are surprisingly
1855: weird, or even buggy.
1856: <p>
1857: When vendor documentation does not exist, the development process can
1858: become extremely hairy. Groups of developers have found themselves focused
1859: for months at a time, figuring out the most simple steps, simply because
1860: the hardware is a complete mystery. Access to documentation can ease
1861: these difficulties rapidly. However, getting access to the chip documentation
1862: from vendors is ... almost always a negotiation. If we had open access to
1.84 matthieu 1863: documentation, anyone would be able to see how simple all these devices
1.81 deraadt 1864: actually are, and device driver development would flourish (and not just in
1865: OpenBSD, either).
1866: <p>
1867: When we proceed into negotiations with vendors, asking for documentation,
1868: our position is often weak. One would assume that the modern market is fair,
1869: and that selling chips would be the primary focus of these vendors. But
1870: unfortunately a number of behemoth software vendors have spent the last 10 or
1871: 20 years building

1874: <p>
1.82 jsg 1875: A particularly nasty player in this regard has been the Linux vendors and
1.87 tom 1876: some Linux developers, who have played along with an American corporate model
1.81 deraadt 1877: of requiring NDAs for chip documentation. This has effectively put Linux
1878: into the club with Microsoft, but has left all the other operating system
1879: communities -- and their developers -- with much less available clout for
1880: requesting documentation. In a more fair world, the Linux vendors would
1881: work with us, and the device driver support in all free operating systems
1882: would be fantastic by now.

2233: OpenBSD emphasizes security. It also emphasizes openness. All the code
2234: is there for all to see. Blobs are vendor-compiled binary drivers
2235: without any source code. Hardware makers like them because they
2236: obscure the details of how to make their hardware work. They hide bugs
2237: and workarounds for bugs. Newer versions of blobs can weaken support
2238: for older hardware and motivate people to buy new hardware.<br>
2239: <br>
2240: <br>
2241: Blobs are expedient. Many other open source operating systems
2242: cheerfully incorporate them; in fact their users demand them.<br>
2243: <br>
2244: <br>
2245: But when you need to trust the system, how do you check the blob for
2246: quality? For adherence to standards? How do you know the blob contains
2247: no malicious code? No incompetent code? Inspection is impossible; you
2248: can only test the black box. And when it breaks, you have no idea why.<br>
2249: <br>
2250: <br>
2251: <ul>
2252: <li>Blobs can be 'de-supported' by vendors<br>
2253: at any time.<br>
2254: <br>
2255: <li>Blobs cannot be supported by developers.<br>
2256: <br>
2257: <li>Blobs cannot be fixed by developers.<br>
2258: <br>
2259: <li>Blobs cannot be improved.<br>
2260: <br>
2261: <li>Blobs cannot be audited.<br>
2262: <br>
2263: <li>
2264: Blobs are specific to an architecture, thus<br>
2265: less portable.<br>
2266: <br>
2267: <li>Blobs are quite often massively bloated.<br>
2268: </ul>
2269: <br>
2270: <br>
2271: This release, like every OpenBSD release, contains OpenBSD and its
2272: source code. It runs on a wide variety of hardware. It contains many
2273: new features and improvements. OpenBSD does attempt to convince
2274: vendors to release documentation, and often reverse-engineers around
2275: the need for blobs. OpenBSD remains blob-free. Anyone can look at it,
1.157 deraadt 2276: assess it, improve it. If it breaks, it can be fixed.

2416: For a multitude of (stupid) reasons, vendors often attempt to lock
2417: out our participation with their customers by refusing to give our
2418: programmers sufficient documentation so that we can properly support
2419: their devices.
2420: <p>
2421: Take Adaptec for instance. Before the 3.7 release we disabled support
2422: for the
1.70 steven 2423: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=aac&sektion=4">aac(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 2424: Adaptec RAID driver because negotiations with the Adaptec had failed.
2425: They refused to give us documentation. Without documentation, support
2426: for their controller had always been poor. The driver had bugs (which
2427: affected some users more than others) which caused crashes, and of
2428: course there was no RAID management support. Apparently most of these
1.59 jolan 2429: bugs are because the Adaptec controllers have numerous buggy firmware
2430: issues which require careful workarounds; without documentation we
2431: cannot solve these issues.
1.58 deraadt 2432: <p>
2433: The driver was written by an OpenBSD developer, who cribbed parts
2434: of it from a FreeBSD driver written by an ex-Adaptec employee. But no
2435: public documentation exists, and Adaptec has dozens of cards with
2436: different firmware issues. All of this adds up to a very desperate
2437: development model -- it becomes very hard for the principle of
2438: "quality" to show its head.
2439: <p>
2440: RAID devices have two main qualities that people buy them for:
2441: <br>
2442: <ul>
1.60 pvalchev 2443: <li>Redundancy
1.58 deraadt 2444: <li>Repair
2445: </ul>
2446: You want a RAID unit to provide you with redundancy, so that if some drives
1.60 pvalchev 2447: fail, your data is not lost. But once a drive has failed, you require your
2448: array to (automatically, most likely) perform the operations to repair
1.58 deraadt 2449: itself, so that it is functioning perfectly again.
2450: <p>
2451: Some vendors (or like the above Adaptec case, ex-employee) have
2452: sometimes given us some documentation so that we could write drivers,
2453: so that their devices could support Redundancy. But these vendors have
2454: never given us any documentation for performing Repairs.
2455: <p>
2456: Instead these vendors have tried to pass out non-free RAID management
2457: tools. These are typically gigantic Linux binaries, or some crazy thing, that
1.67 jolan 2458: is supposed to work through a bizarre interface in the device driver, which
1.58 deraadt 2459: we are apparently supposed to write code for without any documentation.
2460: <p>
2461: And since we refuse to accept our users being forced into depending on
2462: vendor binaries, we have reverse engineered the management interface for
2463: the AMI controllers.
2464: <p>
2465: There is no great "intellectual property" in this stuff, it is all
2466: rather simple primitives. This is all that we need to implement
2467: basic RAID management:
2468: <ul>
2469: <li>SCSI transactions on the back-side busses
2470: <li>Discovering which drives are in which volumes
2471: <li>Being able to silence the buzzer
2472: <li>Marking a new drive as a Hot-Spare
2473: </ul>
2474: <p>
2475: The AMI driver needed to support these small primitive operations.
2476: And once we had that, we rely on something else which we know: Almost
2477: all the RAID controllers would need the same primitives.
2478: <p>
2479: Thus armed, we were able to write a generic framework which would later
2480: work on other vendors' RAID cards, that is, once we get documentation
2481: or do some reverse engineering for their products.
2482: <p>
1.60 pvalchev 2483: But having been ignored for so long by these vendors, it is not clear when (if
2484: ever) we will get around to writing that support for Adaptec RAID
1.58 deraadt 2485: controllers now. And Adaptec has gone and bought ICP Vortex, which
2486: may mean we can never get documentation for the
1.70 steven 2487: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=gdt&sektion=4">gdt(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 2488: controllers.
2489: The "Open Source Friendly liar" IBM owns Mylex, and Mylex has told us we
2490: would not get documentation, either.
2491: 3Ware has lied to us and our users so many times they make politicians
2492: look saintly.
2493: <p>
2494: Until other vendors give us documentation, if you want reliable RAID
2495: in OpenBSD, please buy
2496: <a href="http://www.lsilogic.com/products/megaraid/index.html">LSI/AMI</a>

2593: For an operating system to get anywhere in "the market" it must have
2594: good device support.<br>
2595: <br>
2596: Ethernet was our first concern. Many vendors refused to supply
2597: programmers with programming documentation for these chipsets. Donald
2598: Becker (Linux) and Bill Paul (FreeBSD) changed the rules of the game
2599: here: They wrote drivers for the chipsets that they could get
2600: documentation for, and as they succeeded in writing more and more
2601: drivers, eventually closed vendors slowly opened up until most
2602: ethernet chipset documentation was available. Today, some vendors
2603: still resist releasing ethernet chipset documentation (ie. Broadcom,
1.62 brad 2604: Intel, Marvell/SysKonnect, NVIDIA) but the driver problem is mostly
1.46 henning 2605: solved in the ethernet market.<br>
1.44 deraadt 2606: <br>
2607: Similar problems have happened in the SCSI, IDE, and RAID markets.
2608: Again, the problem was solved by writing drivers for documented
2609: devices first. If the free software user communities use those drivers
2610: preferentially, it is a market loss for the secretive vendors.
2611: Another approach that has worked is to publish email addresses and
2612: phone numbers for the marketing department managers in these
2613: companies. These email campaigns have worked almost every time.<br>
2614: <br>
2615: The new frontier: 802.11 wireless chipsets.<br>
2616: <br>
2617: Over the last six months, this came to a head in the OpenBSD project.
2618: We asked our users to help us petition numerous vendors so that we
2619: could get chipset documentation or redistributable firmware. Certainly, we did
1.52 deraadt 2620: not succeed for some vendors. But we did influence some vendors, in
1.44 deraadt 2621: particular the Taiwanese (Ralink and Realtek), who have given us
2622: everything we need. We also reverse engineered the Atheros chipsets.<br>

2753: What is up with some free software providers?!
2754: They say "Here's something free! Oh wait, I changed my mind."
2755: <p>
2756: While not exactly bait-and-switch, this is something which
2757: has been causing the community continual grief, and therefore
2758: we decided to honour a few of the projects that have decided
1.41 deraadt 2759: to go non-free. After all.. having gone non-free, no one is
1.37 deraadt 2760: going to remember them in the end.
2761: <p>
2762: This song is dedicated to a few worthy groups who
2763: have made this Free-to-Non-Free transition with their
2764: offerings in the last few years:
2765: <ul>
2766: <li>David Dawes worked for years with a team of
2767: developers to make a free X11 distribution for us to use,
2768: called XFree86, 98% of which was based on entirely free
2769: code from MIT. Suddenly, one day, he decided that
2770: we must give him more credit (ie. advertise his name) or
2771: stop using it. Within about 4 months every project had
2772: told him to get stuffed, and the community has created a
2773: replacement effort.
1.41 deraadt 2774: Now his team cannot even keep their web pages up to date...
1.37 deraadt 2775: <p>
2776: <li>OpenBSD was the first operating system to integrate a
2777: packet filter, and it was the ipf codebase from Darren Reed
2778: that we chose. But a few years later he told us that we
2779: were not free to make changes to the code. So we deleted ipf,
2780: and our new packet filter far exceeds the capabilities of the
2781: one he wrote. And other projects are switching too...
2782: <p>
2783: <li>The Apache group started from the humble beginnings
2784: of just being 'a patchy' set of changes to a completely free
2785: web server of dubious quality. But the years have changed them,
2786: and what they supply is now quite non-free... released under
1.40 jolan 2787: a license so entangled in legalese that we have absolutely no
1.51 jcs 2788: doubt that there are encumbrances hidden within. Legal terms
1.37 deraadt 2789: protect. Who are they protecting? Not your freedom.
2790: </ul>
2791: So here's a goodbye to those three groups, and a warning to any
2792: others who will follow them:
2793: Make your stuff non-free, and something else will
2794: replace it.

2917: A common theme used by the comedy crew Monty Python was to emphasize
2918: and exaggerate ridiculousnesses that their target had imposed upon
2919: themselves. Few things could be considered as humorous as making a
2920: redundancy protocol... redundant; e.g. being forced to replace it by
2921: Cisco lawyers and IETF policy.
2922: <p>
2923: We've been working a few years now on our packet filtering software
2924: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>
2925: and it became time to add failover. We want to be able to set up pf
2926: firewalls side by side, and exchange the stateful information between
2927: them, so that in case of failure another could take over 'keep state'
2928: sessions. Our
2929: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>
2930: protocol solves this problem. However, on both sides of the firewall,
2931: it is also necessary to have all the regular hosts not see a
2932: network failure. The only reliable way to do this is for both
2933: firewall machines to have and use the same IP and MAC addresses. But
2934: the only real way to do that is to use multicast protocols.
2935: <p>
2936: The IETF community proposed work in this direction in the late
2937: 90's, however in 1997 Cisco informed them that they believed some of
2938: Cisco's patents covered the proposed IETF VRRP (Virtual Router
2939: Redundancy Protocol); on
2940: <a href="http://www.ietf.org/ietf/IPR/VRRP-CISCO">
2941: March 20, 1998 they went further and specifically named their HSRP
2942: "Hot Standby Router Protocol" patent</a>. Reputedly, they were upset
2943: that IETF had not simply adopted the flawed HSRP protocol as the
2944: standard solution for this problem. Despite this legal pressure, the
2945: IETF community forged ahead and published VRRP as a standard even
2946: though there was a patent in the space. Why?
1.144 deraadt 2947: <a href="http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/doc/ietf/vrrp/vrrp-minutes-97dec.txt">
1.30 deraadt 2948: There was much deliberation</a>
2949: at all levels of the IETF, and unfortunately for all of us the
2950: politicians within eventually decided to allow patented technology in
2951: standards -- as long as the patented technology is licensed under RAND
2952: (Reasonable And Non Discriminatory) terms. As free software
2953: programmers, we therefore find ourselves in the position that these
2954: RAND standards must not be implemented by us, and we must deviate from
2955: the standard. We find all this rather Unreasonable and Discriminatory
2956: and we *will* design competing protocols. Some standards organization,
2957: eh?
2958: <p>
2959: Due to some HSRP flaws fixed by VRRP and for compatibility with the
2960: (HSRP-licensed) VRRP implementations of their competitors, Cisco in
2961: recent times has largely abandoned HSRP and now relies on VRRP instead
2962: -- a protocol designed for and by the community, but for which they
2963: claim patent rights.
2964: <p>
2965: On August 7 2002, after many communications, Robert Barr (Cisco's
2966: lawyer) firmly informed the OpenBSD community that Cisco would defend
2967: its patents for VRRP implementations -- meaning basically that it was
2968: impossible for a free software group to produce a truly free
2969: implementation of the IETF standard protocol. Perhaps this is because
2970: Cisco and Alcatel are currently engaged in a pair of patent lawsuits; a
2971: small piece of which is Cisco attempting to use the HSRP patent
2972: against Alcatel for their use of VRRP. Some IETF working group
2973: members took note of our complaints,
1.122 deraadt 2974: <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20061109082106/http://lists.microshaft.org/pipermail/dmca_discuss/2003-April/004702.html">
1.30 deraadt 2975: however an attempt in April 2003 to have the IETF abandon the use of
2976: patented technology failed to "reach consensus" in the IETF</a>.
2977: <p>
2978: A few years ago, the W3C, who designs our web protocols, tried to move
2979: to a RAND policy as well (primarily because of pressure from Microsoft
2980: and Apple), but the community outrage was so overpowering that they
2981: backed down. Some standards groups use this policy, while others
2982: avoid it -- the one differentiation being the amount of corporate
1.55 tom 2983: participation. In the IETF, the pro-RAND agents work for AT&T,
1.30 deraadt 2984: Alcatel, IBM, Cisco, Microsoft, and other large companies. Since IETF
2985: is an open forum, they can blend in as the populace, and vote just
2986: like all others, except against the community.
2987: <p>
2988: Translation: In failing to "reach consensus", the companies who
2989: benefit from RAND won, and the community lost again.
2990: <p>
2991: Left with little choice, we proceeded to reinvent the wheel or, more
2992: correctly, abandon the wheel entirely and go for a "hovercraft". We
2993: designed CARP (Common Address Redundancy Protocol) to solve the same
2994: problem that these other protocols are designed for, but without the
2995: same technological basis as HSRP and VRRP. We read the patent
2996: document carefully and ensured that CARP was fundamentally different.
2997: We also avoided many of the flaws in HSRP and VRRP (such as an inherent
2998: lack of security). And since we are OpenBSD developers, we designed
2999: it to use cryptography.
3000: <p>
3001: The combination of
3002: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>,
3003: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>, and
3004: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=carp&sektion=4">carp(4)</a>
3005: has permitted us to build highly redundant firewalls. To date, we
3006: have built a few networks that include as many as 4 firewalls, all
3007: running random reboot cycles. As long as one firewall is alive in a
3008: group, traffic through them moves smoothly and correctly for all of
3009: our packet filter functionality. Cisco's low end products are unable
3010: to do this reliably, and if they have high end products which can do
3011: this, you most certainly cannot afford them.
3012: <p>
3013: As a final note of course, when we petitioned IANA, the IETF body
3014: regulating "official" internet protocol numbers, to give us numbers
3015: for CARP and pfsync our request was denied. Apparently we had failed
3016: to go through an official standards organization. Consequently we
3017: were forced to choose a protocol number which would not conflict with
3018: anything else of value, and decided to place CARP at IP protocol 112.
3019: We also placed pfsync at an open and unused number. We informed IANA of
3020: these decisions, but they declined to reply.
3021: <p>
3022: This ridiculous situation then inspired one of our developers to create
3023: this parody of the well-known Monty Python skit and song.

3312: Join Puffy Hood and his Funny Fish as they take on
1.26 deraadt 3313: the Sheriff (an unelected leader) and other evil
1.20 deraadt 3314: forces of the draconian government!
3315: <p>
3316: <br>
3317: As we did for the 3.3 release, we have once again tried
3318: making release artwork and music which are allegorical
3319: of recent happenings.
3320: <p>
3321: Two years ago we became involved with the University
3322: of Pennsylvania and DARPA, who were funding us to do
3323: security research and development .. on things that
3324: we were already intending to do. We provided ideas,
3325: wrote papers, and deployed cutting-edge technology;
3326: DARPA provided finances and reaped a share of the
3327: credit, and the University of Pennsylvania acted as
3328: a middle-man. We accepted funding based on the
3329: promise that our freedom to operate as we wished
3330: was unaffected. To us, freedom is more important
1.21 deraadt 3331: than funding -- heck, we were dealing with the evil
1.20 deraadt 3332: forces of government, and needed to be careful.
3333: <p>
3334: A few months prior to this release, DARPA suddenly
3335: and without warning decided to withdraw that funding;
3336: they also aggressively backed out of contractual
3337: obligations. Many articles in the <a href=press.html>press</a> followed regarding
1.67 jolan 3338: this sudden maneuver. Apparently this hoopla happened
1.20 deraadt 3339: because an OpenBSD-related article in the Canadian
1.55 tom 3340: newspaper The Globe & Mail had quoted Theo de Raadt
1.20 deraadt 3341: making anti-war statements regarding Iraq and the
3342: theft of oil.
3343: <p>
3344: The only answer given (to major media reporters) by a
3345: DARPA spokesperson (Jan Walker) was this:
3346: <p>
3347: "As a result of the DARPA review of the
3348: project, and due to world events and the evolving
3349: threat posed by increasingly capable nation-states,
3350: the Government on April 21 advised the University
3351: to suspend work on the "security fest" portion of
3352: the project."
3353: <p>
3354: That almost toes the line of calling us terrorists!
3355: We had lost financial support, but the release of the
3356: statement above suddenly made us very happy to be free
3357: of any perceived obligation to such crazy people.
3358: <p>
3359: Since the termination came near natural contract
3360: termination (about 4 months remained), less damage
3361: than expected was sustained by the project. Sponsors
3362: stepped forward and helped us make up the missing funds
3363: we needed to run our "Hackathon", and the event
1.61 grunk 3364: proceeded as planned. We even had T-shirts made with
1.20 deraadt 3365: "Workstations of Mass Development" artwork for those
3366: developers who attended (sorry, they are not for sale).
3367: <p>
3368: We could not make stories like this up. So instead,
3369: we are making up an allegory about it, using the tale
3370: of Robin Hood.
