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.

! 247: We've done stuff about LibreSSL before, but this particular song just
! 248: fit with the release theme. While the lyrics can speak for themselves,
! 249: "A Year In The Life" is representative of more than just LibreSSL. The
! 250: pattern of LibreSSL development is a pattern that has repeated itself
! 251: many times in OpenBSD -- a decision is made by a few people to do
! 252: something, followed by action, and letting the world share it if they
! 253: like it (such as with OpenSSH). To the developers actually doing the
! 254: work, reactions to such efforts can often seem surreal, or
! 255: irrelevant. The juxtaposition of working on the very real with the
! 256: surreal going on around you can often make working on such projects
! 257: feel like you're in a bit of an altered reality.. Sort of like the

432: In January of 2038, 32-bit Unix time will overflow and wrap
433: back to 1901. This is known as the
434: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem">Year 2038 problem</a>.
435: POSIX operating systems have made strong inroads into embedded
436: roles, so this is anticipated to be substantially worse than the Y2K transition.
437: <p>
1.146 guenther 438: In August of 2012, Philip Guenther started the OpenBSD work to
1.157 deraadt 439: solve this.
1.146 guenther 440: After a year of work it was ready enough for merging, and in August 2013
441: the <b>time_t</b> type was changed to int64_t on all
442: platforms and the kernel and userland were adapted to the new
443: situation. The initial work was committed right after OpenBSD 5.4,
444: then polished in tree over the next 6 months.
1.144 deraadt 445: <p>
446: The next part of the process was to drag the "ports" software
1.146 guenther 447: ecosystem along because no one else had paved the way for 32-bit
1.144 deraadt 448: machines to run with 64-bit <b>time_t</b>. This required a fair
449: bit of upstream involvement. Thousands of fixes were required to
450: make both 32-bit and 64-bit time work transparently. There will
451: be more fixing in the future, but the concept is proven.
452: <p>
453: In the past OpenBSD pushed risky theoretical ideas into mainstream
454: software practice by proving the ecosystem was ready to change.
455: No OS wants to make a ABI jump until the case for change is proven.
456: Stack protection, ASLR, and W^X principles are now in common use
457: by mainline operating systems... because things like Firefox
458: and Postgresql don't break anymore. OpenBSD built that route.
459: <p>
460: In the same way, the road is paved for the 64-bit <b>time_t</b>
461: transition. Other operating systems can now make this jump.

1.132 beck 634: Just as the original song professed its love for Brazil, "World,
635: you'll love my Linux" is the passionate call of an idealistic dreamer
636: who can't bear the thought of software that will only run under
637: Windows, and yet loves the situation with software that will only run
638: under particular Linux distributions.
639: <p>
640: This problem has proliferated itself into the standards bodies, with
641: Posix adopting Linuxisms ahead of any other variant of Unix.
642: <p>
643: Posix and Unix have made it where you can write reasonably portable
644: software and have it compile and run across a multitude of platforms.
1.157 deraadt 645: Now this seems to be changing as the love for Linux drives the
646: standards bodies into accepting everything Linux, good and bad.
1.132 beck 647: <p>
648: We also are faced with groups writing software that only works
649: with particular distributions of Linux. From this we get software that
650: not only isn't very portable, but often not particularly stable. Our
651: idealistic dreamer in the song loves running one, or more than one distribution
652: of Linux for a particular purpose. Unfortunately, the rest of us are left
653: with the unattractive choice of doing the same, or relying on
654: herculean efforts to port software that is being actively developed in a
1.157 deraadt 655: way to discourage porting it to other platforms.

1010: <br>
1011: The <a href="#44">OpenBSD 4.4 release artwork</a> honoured
1012: the (Berkeley) CSRG guys for their efforts with the BSD 4.4
1013: release -- they fought and managed to free the code.<br>
1014: <br>
1015: This release the artwork is based on the stories of Douglas Adams,
1016: including his favorite number -- 42. Therefore we can remember
1017: the previous major achievement of CSRG - BSD 4.2.<br>
1018: <br>
1019: BSD 4.2 was
1020: not free, but it created and integrated so many new
1021: technologies that we all depend on today. Take a moment
1022: to consider how many things first available in BSD 4.2 you are using
1023: at this moment, to read this page -- sockets, AF_INET,
1024: virtual memory, etc.<br>
1025: <br>
1026: Today, new releases of operating systems from well-known vendors
1027: contain less new features than BSD 4.2 did.<br>
1028: <br>

1445: Nearly 10 years ago Kirk McKusick wrote a history of
1446: the Berkeley Unix distributions for the
1.121 deraadt 1447: O'Reilly book "Open Sources: Voices from the Open Source Revolution".
1.104 deraadt 1448: We recommend you read his story, entitled
1449: <a href="http://oreilly.com/catalog/opensources/book/kirkmck.html">
1450: "Twenty Years of Berkeley Unix
1451: From AT&T-Owned to Freely Redistributable"</a>
1452: first, to see how Kirk remembers how we got here.
1453: Sadly, since it showed up in book form originally, this text has
1454: probably not been read by enough people.
1455: <br>
1456: <br>
1457: The USL(AT&T) vs BSDI/UCB court case settlement documents were
1458: not public until recently; their disclosure has made the facts more clear.
1459: But the story of how three people decided to free the BSD codebase
1460: of corporate pollution -- and release it freely -- is more interesting
1461: than the lawsuit which followed. Sure, a stupid lawsuit happened which
1462: hindered the acceptance of the BSD code during a critical period.
1463: But how did a bunch of guys go through the effort of replacing so
1464: much AT&T code in the first place? After all, companies had
1465: lots of really evil lawyers back then too -- were they not afraid?
1466: <br>
1467: <br>
1468: After a decade of development, most of the AT&T code had
1469: already been replaced by university researchers and their associates.
1470: So Keith Bostic, Mike Karels and Kirk McKusick (the main UCB CSRG group)
1471: started going through the 4.3BSD codebase to cleanse the rest.
1472: Keith, in particular, built a ragtag team (in those days, USENIX
1473: conferences were a gold mine for such team building) and led these
1474: rebels to rewrite and replace all the Imperial AT&T code, piece by
1475: piece, starting with the libraries and userland programs.
1476: Anyone who helped only got credit as a Contributor -- people like
1477: Chris Torek and a cast of .. hundreds more.
1478: <br>
1479: <br>
1.105 deraadt 1480: Then Mike and Kirk purified the kernel. After a bit more careful
1.104 deraadt 1481: checking, this led to the release of a clean tree called Net/2 which
1482: was given to the world in June 1991 -- the largest dump of free source
1483: code the world had ever received (for those days -- not modern monsters like OpenOffice).
1484: <br>
1485: <br>
1486: Some of these ragtags formed a company (BSDi) to sell a production system
1487: based on this free code base, and a year later Unix System Laboratories
1488: (basically AT&T) sued BSDi and UCB.
1489: Eventually AT&T lost and after a few trifling fixes (described in the
1490: lawsuit documents) the codebase was free. A few newer developments
1491: (and more free code) were added, and released in June 1994 as 4.4BSD-Lite.
1492: Just over 14 years later OpenBSD is releasing its own 4.4 release (and for
1493: a lot less than <a href=orders.html>$1000 per copy</a>).
1494: <br>
1495: <br>
1496: The OpenBSD 4.4 release is dedicated to Keith Bostic, Mike Karels, Kirk McKusick,
1497: and all of those who contributed to making Net/2 and 4.4BSD-Lite free.

1616: <br>
1617: <br>
1618: In 1998 when a United Airlines plane was waiting in the queue at
1.102 deraadt 1619: Washington Dulles International Airport for take-off to New Orleans
1620: (where a Usenix conference was taking place), one man stood up from
1621: his seat, demanded that they stop waiting in the queue and be permitted
1.95 deraadt 1622: to deplane. Even after orders from the crew and a pilot from
1623: the cockpit he refused to sit down. The plane exited the queue
1.96 deraadt 1624: and returned to the airport gangway. Security personnel ran onto
1.95 deraadt 1625: the plane and removed this man, Richard Stallman, from the plane.
1626: After Richard was removed from the plane, everyone else stayed
1627: onboard and continued their journey to New Orleans. A few
1628: OpenBSD developers were on that same plane, seated very closeby,
1629: so we have an accurate story of the events.
1630: <br>
1631: <br>
1632: This is the man who presumes that he should preach to us
1633: about morality, freedom, and what is best for us. He believes
1634: it is his God-given role to tell us what is best for us, when he
1635: has shown that he takes actions which are not best for everyone.
1636: He prefers actions which he thinks are best for him -- and him
1637: alone -- and then lies to the public. Richard Stallman is no Spock.
1638: <br>
1639: <br>
1640: We release our software in ways that are maximally free. We
1641: remove all restrictions on use and distribution, but leave a
1642: requirement to be known as the authors. We follow a pattern of
1643: free source code distribution that started in the mid-1980's
1644: in Berkeley, from before Richard Stallman had any powerful
1645: influence which he could use so falsely.
1646: <br>
1647: <br>
1648: We have a development sub-tree called "ports". Our "ports" tree
1649: builds software that is 'found on the net' into packages that
1650: OpenBSD users can use more easily. A scaffold of Makefiles and
1651: scripts automatically fetch these pieces of software, apply
1652: patches as required by OpenBSD, and then build them into nice
1653: neat little tarballs. This is provided as a convenience for
1.97 okan 1654: users. The ports tree is maintained by OpenBSD entirely separately
1.95 deraadt 1655: from our main source tree. Some of the software which is fetched
1656: and compiled is not as free as we would like, but what can we do.
1657: All the other operating system projects make exactly the same
1658: decision, and provide these same conveniences to their users.
1659: <br>
1660: <br>
1661: Richard felt that this "ports tree" of ours made OpenBSD non-free.
1662: He came to our mailing lists and lectured to us specifically, yet
1663: he said nothing to the many other vendors who do the same; many of
1664: them donate to the FSF and perhaps that has something to do with it.
1665: Meanwhile, Richard has personally made sure that all the official
1666: GNU software -- including Emacs -- compiles and runs on Windows.
1667: <br>
1668: <br>
1669: That man is a false leader. He is a hypocrite. There may be some
1670: people who listen to him. But we don't listen to people who do not
1671: follow their own stupid rules.

1770: Those of us who work on OpenBSD are often asked why we do what we do.
1.91 merdely 1771: This song's lyrics express the core motivations and goals which have
1.90 deraadt 1772: remained unchanged over the years - secure, free, reliable software,
1773: that can be shared with anyone. Many other projects purport to share
1774: these same goals, and love to wrap themselves in a banner of "Open
1775: Source" and "Free Software". Given how many projects there are one
1776: would think it might be easy to stick to those goals, but it doesn't
1777: seem to work out that way. A variety of desires drag many projects
1778: away from the ideals very quickly.
1779: <p>
1.93 jmc 1780: Much of any operating system's usability depends on device support,
1.91 merdely 1781: and there are some very tempting alternative ways to support devices
1.90 deraadt 1782: available to those who will surrender their moral code. A project
1783: could compromise by entering into NDA agreements with vendors, or
1784: including binary objects in the operating system for which no source
1785: code exists, or tying their users down with contract terms hidden
1786: inside copyright notices. All of these choices surrender some subset
1787: of the ideals, and we simply will not do this. Sure, we care about
1788: getting devices working, but not at the expense of our original goals.
1789: <p>
1790: Of course since "free to share with anyone" is part of our goals,
1791: we've been at the forefront of many licensing and NDA issues,
1.91 merdely 1792: resulting in a good number of successes. This success had led to much
1.90 deraadt 1793: recognition for the advancement of Free Software causes, but has also
1794: led to other issues.
1795: <p>
1796: We fully admit that some BSD licensed software has been taken and used
1797: by many commercial entities, but contributions come back more often
1798: than people seem to know, and when they do, they're always still
1799: properly attributed to the original authors, and given back in the
1800: same spirit that they were given in the first place.
1801: <p>
1802: That's the best we can expect from companies. After all, we make our
1803: stuff so free so that everyone can benefit -- it remains a core goal;
1804: we really have not strayed at all in 10 years. But we can expect more
1805: from projects who talk about sharing -- such as the various Linux
1806: projects.
1807: <p>
1808: Now rather than seeing us as friends who can cooperatively improve all
1809: codebases, we are seen as foes who oppose the GPL. The participants
1810: of "the race" are being manipulated by the FSF and their legal arm, the
1811: SFLC, for the FSF's aims, rather than the goal of getting good source
1812: into Linux (and all other code bases). We don't want this to come off
1813: as some conspiracy theory, but we simply urge those developers caution
1814: -- they should ensure that the path they are being shown by those who
1815: have positioned themselves as leaders is still true. Run for yourself,
1816: not for their agenda.
1817: <p>
1818: The Race is there to be run, for ourselves, not for others. We do
1819: what we do to run our own race, and finish it the best we can. We
1820: don't rush off at every distraction, or worry how this will affect our
1821: image. We are here to have fun doing right.

1923: As developers of a free operating system, one of our prime responsibilities
1924: is device support. No matter how nice an operating system is, it remains
1925: useless and unusable without solid support for a wide percentage of the
1926: hardware that is available on the market. It is therefore rather unsurprising
1927: that more than half of our efforts focus on various aspects relating to
1928: device support.
1929: <p>
1.85 mbalmer 1930: Most parts of the operating system (from low kernel, through to libraries,
1.81 deraadt 1931: all the way up to X, and then even to applications) use fairly obvious
1932: interface layers, where the "communication protocols" or "argument passing"
1933: mechanisms (ie. APIs) can be understood by any developer who takes the
1934: time to read the free code. Device drivers pose an additional and significant
1935: challenge though: because many vendors refuse to document the exact behavior
1936: of their devices. The devices are black boxes. And often they are surprisingly
1937: weird, or even buggy.
1938: <p>
1939: When vendor documentation does not exist, the development process can
1940: become extremely hairy. Groups of developers have found themselves focused
1941: for months at a time, figuring out the most simple steps, simply because
1942: the hardware is a complete mystery. Access to documentation can ease
1943: these difficulties rapidly. However, getting access to the chip documentation
1944: from vendors is ... almost always a negotiation. If we had open access to
1.84 matthieu 1945: documentation, anyone would be able to see how simple all these devices
1.81 deraadt 1946: actually are, and device driver development would flourish (and not just in
1947: OpenBSD, either).
1948: <p>
1949: When we proceed into negotiations with vendors, asking for documentation,
1950: our position is often weak. One would assume that the modern market is fair,
1951: and that selling chips would be the primary focus of these vendors. But
1952: unfortunately a number of behemoth software vendors have spent the last 10 or

1.82 jsg 1957: A particularly nasty player in this regard has been the Linux vendors and
1.87 tom 1958: some Linux developers, who have played along with an American corporate model
1.81 deraadt 1959: of requiring NDAs for chip documentation. This has effectively put Linux
1960: into the club with Microsoft, but has left all the other operating system
1961: communities -- and their developers -- with much less available clout for

2315: OpenBSD emphasizes security. It also emphasizes openness. All the code
2316: is there for all to see. Blobs are vendor-compiled binary drivers
2317: without any source code. Hardware makers like them because they
2318: obscure the details of how to make their hardware work. They hide bugs
2319: and workarounds for bugs. Newer versions of blobs can weaken support
2320: for older hardware and motivate people to buy new hardware.<br>
2321: <br>
2322: <br>
2323: Blobs are expedient. Many other open source operating systems
2324: cheerfully incorporate them; in fact their users demand them.<br>
2325: <br>
2326: <br>
2327: But when you need to trust the system, how do you check the blob for
2328: quality? For adherence to standards? How do you know the blob contains
2329: no malicious code? No incompetent code? Inspection is impossible; you
2330: can only test the black box. And when it breaks, you have no idea why.<br>
2331: <br>
2332: <br>
2333: <ul>
2334: <li>Blobs can be 'de-supported' by vendors<br>
2335: at any time.<br>
2336: <br>
2337: <li>Blobs cannot be supported by developers.<br>
2338: <br>
2339: <li>Blobs cannot be fixed by developers.<br>
2340: <br>
2341: <li>Blobs cannot be improved.<br>
2342: <br>
2343: <li>Blobs cannot be audited.<br>
2344: <br>
2345: <li>
2346: Blobs are specific to an architecture, thus<br>
2347: less portable.<br>
2348: <br>
2349: <li>Blobs are quite often massively bloated.<br>
2350: </ul>
2351: <br>
2352: <br>
2353: This release, like every OpenBSD release, contains OpenBSD and its
2354: source code. It runs on a wide variety of hardware. It contains many
2355: new features and improvements. OpenBSD does attempt to convince
2356: vendors to release documentation, and often reverse-engineers around
2357: the need for blobs. OpenBSD remains blob-free. Anyone can look at it,
1.157 deraadt 2358: assess it, improve it. If it breaks, it can be fixed.

2498: For a multitude of (stupid) reasons, vendors often attempt to lock
2499: out our participation with their customers by refusing to give our
2500: programmers sufficient documentation so that we can properly support
2501: their devices.
2502: <p>
2503: Take Adaptec for instance. Before the 3.7 release we disabled support
2504: for the
1.70 steven 2505: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=aac&sektion=4">aac(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 2506: Adaptec RAID driver because negotiations with the Adaptec had failed.
2507: They refused to give us documentation. Without documentation, support
2508: for their controller had always been poor. The driver had bugs (which
2509: affected some users more than others) which caused crashes, and of
2510: course there was no RAID management support. Apparently most of these
1.59 jolan 2511: bugs are because the Adaptec controllers have numerous buggy firmware
2512: issues which require careful workarounds; without documentation we
2513: cannot solve these issues.
1.58 deraadt 2514: <p>
2515: The driver was written by an OpenBSD developer, who cribbed parts
2516: of it from a FreeBSD driver written by an ex-Adaptec employee. But no
2517: public documentation exists, and Adaptec has dozens of cards with
2518: different firmware issues. All of this adds up to a very desperate
2519: development model -- it becomes very hard for the principle of
2520: "quality" to show its head.
2521: <p>
2522: RAID devices have two main qualities that people buy them for:
2523: <br>
2524: <ul>
1.60 pvalchev 2525: <li>Redundancy
1.58 deraadt 2526: <li>Repair
2527: </ul>
2528: You want a RAID unit to provide you with redundancy, so that if some drives
1.60 pvalchev 2529: fail, your data is not lost. But once a drive has failed, you require your
2530: array to (automatically, most likely) perform the operations to repair
1.58 deraadt 2531: itself, so that it is functioning perfectly again.
2532: <p>
2533: Some vendors (or like the above Adaptec case, ex-employee) have
2534: sometimes given us some documentation so that we could write drivers,
2535: so that their devices could support Redundancy. But these vendors have
2536: never given us any documentation for performing Repairs.
2537: <p>
2538: Instead these vendors have tried to pass out non-free RAID management
2539: tools. These are typically gigantic Linux binaries, or some crazy thing, that
1.67 jolan 2540: is supposed to work through a bizarre interface in the device driver, which
1.58 deraadt 2541: we are apparently supposed to write code for without any documentation.
2542: <p>
2543: And since we refuse to accept our users being forced into depending on
2544: vendor binaries, we have reverse engineered the management interface for
2545: the AMI controllers.
2546: <p>
2547: There is no great "intellectual property" in this stuff, it is all
2548: rather simple primitives. This is all that we need to implement
2549: basic RAID management:
2550: <ul>
2551: <li>SCSI transactions on the back-side busses
2552: <li>Discovering which drives are in which volumes
2553: <li>Being able to silence the buzzer
2554: <li>Marking a new drive as a Hot-Spare
2555: </ul>
2556: <p>
2557: The AMI driver needed to support these small primitive operations.
2558: And once we had that, we rely on something else which we know: Almost
2559: all the RAID controllers would need the same primitives.
2560: <p>
2561: Thus armed, we were able to write a generic framework which would later
2562: work on other vendors' RAID cards, that is, once we get documentation
2563: or do some reverse engineering for their products.
2564: <p>
1.60 pvalchev 2565: But having been ignored for so long by these vendors, it is not clear when (if
2566: ever) we will get around to writing that support for Adaptec RAID
1.58 deraadt 2567: controllers now. And Adaptec has gone and bought ICP Vortex, which
2568: may mean we can never get documentation for the
1.70 steven 2569: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=gdt&sektion=4">gdt(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 2570: controllers.
2571: The "Open Source Friendly liar" IBM owns Mylex, and Mylex has told us we
2572: would not get documentation, either.
2573: 3Ware has lied to us and our users so many times they make politicians
2574: look saintly.
2575: <p>
2576: Until other vendors give us documentation, if you want reliable RAID
2577: in OpenBSD, please buy
2578: <a href="http://www.lsilogic.com/products/megaraid/index.html">LSI/AMI</a>

2675: For an operating system to get anywhere in "the market" it must have
2676: good device support.<br>
2677: <br>
2678: Ethernet was our first concern. Many vendors refused to supply
2679: programmers with programming documentation for these chipsets. Donald
2680: Becker (Linux) and Bill Paul (FreeBSD) changed the rules of the game
2681: here: They wrote drivers for the chipsets that they could get
2682: documentation for, and as they succeeded in writing more and more
2683: drivers, eventually closed vendors slowly opened up until most
2684: ethernet chipset documentation was available. Today, some vendors
2685: still resist releasing ethernet chipset documentation (ie. Broadcom,
1.62 brad 2686: Intel, Marvell/SysKonnect, NVIDIA) but the driver problem is mostly
1.46 henning 2687: solved in the ethernet market.<br>
1.44 deraadt 2688: <br>
2689: Similar problems have happened in the SCSI, IDE, and RAID markets.
2690: Again, the problem was solved by writing drivers for documented
2691: devices first. If the free software user communities use those drivers
2692: preferentially, it is a market loss for the secretive vendors.
2693: Another approach that has worked is to publish email addresses and
2694: phone numbers for the marketing department managers in these
2695: companies. These email campaigns have worked almost every time.<br>
2696: <br>
2697: The new frontier: 802.11 wireless chipsets.<br>
2698: <br>
2699: Over the last six months, this came to a head in the OpenBSD project.
2700: We asked our users to help us petition numerous vendors so that we
2701: could get chipset documentation or redistributable firmware. Certainly, we did
1.52 deraadt 2702: not succeed for some vendors. But we did influence some vendors, in
1.44 deraadt 2703: particular the Taiwanese (Ralink and Realtek), who have given us
2704: everything we need. We also reverse engineered the Atheros chipsets.<br>
2705: <br>
2706:
2707: Want to help us? Avoid
2708: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ipw">Intel Centrino</a>,
2709: Broadcom, TI, or Connexant PrismGT chipsets.
2710: Heck, avoid buying even regular
1.48 deraadt 2711: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=wi">old pre-G Prism products</a>,
1.44 deraadt 2712: to send a message.
1.48 deraadt 2713: If you can, buy 802.11 products using chips by
1.44 deraadt 2714: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=rtw">Realtek</a>,
2715: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ral">Ralink</a>,

2718: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ath">Atheros</a>.
2719: Our manual pages attempt to explain which vendors (ie. D-Link) box
1.52 deraadt 2720: which chipsets into which product.
1.44 deraadt 2721: <br>
2722: <br>
2723: Send a message that open support for hardware matters. A vendor in
1.56 cloder 2724: Redmond largely continues their practices because they get
1.44 deraadt 2725: the chipset documentation years before everyone else does.
2726: What really upsets us the most is that some Linux vendors are signing
2727: Non-Disclosure Agreements with vendors, or contracts that let them
2728: distribute firmwares. Meanwhile both Linux and FSF head developers
1.49 nick 2729: are not asking their communities to help us in our efforts to free
1.44 deraadt 2730: development information for all, but are even going further and
2731: telling their development communities to not work with us at

2835: What is up with some free software providers?!
2836: They say "Here's something free! Oh wait, I changed my mind."
2837: <p>
2838: While not exactly bait-and-switch, this is something which
2839: has been causing the community continual grief, and therefore
2840: we decided to honour a few of the projects that have decided
1.41 deraadt 2841: to go non-free. After all.. having gone non-free, no one is
1.37 deraadt 2842: going to remember them in the end.
2843: <p>
2844: This song is dedicated to a few worthy groups who
2845: have made this Free-to-Non-Free transition with their
2846: offerings in the last few years:
2847: <ul>
2848: <li>David Dawes worked for years with a team of
2849: developers to make a free X11 distribution for us to use,
2850: called XFree86, 98% of which was based on entirely free
2851: code from MIT. Suddenly, one day, he decided that
2852: we must give him more credit (ie. advertise his name) or
2853: stop using it. Within about 4 months every project had
2854: told him to get stuffed, and the community has created a
2855: replacement effort.
1.41 deraadt 2856: Now his team cannot even keep their web pages up to date...
1.37 deraadt 2857: <p>
2858: <li>OpenBSD was the first operating system to integrate a
2859: packet filter, and it was the ipf codebase from Darren Reed
2860: that we chose. But a few years later he told us that we
2861: were not free to make changes to the code. So we deleted ipf,
2862: and our new packet filter far exceeds the capabilities of the
2863: one he wrote. And other projects are switching too...
2864: <p>
2865: <li>The Apache group started from the humble beginnings
2866: of just being 'a patchy' set of changes to a completely free
2867: web server of dubious quality. But the years have changed them,
2868: and what they supply is now quite non-free... released under
1.40 jolan 2869: a license so entangled in legalese that we have absolutely no
1.51 jcs 2870: doubt that there are encumbrances hidden within. Legal terms
1.37 deraadt 2871: protect. Who are they protecting? Not your freedom.
2872: </ul>
2873: So here's a goodbye to those three groups, and a warning to any
2874: others who will follow them:
2875: Make your stuff non-free, and something else will
2876: replace it.

2999: A common theme used by the comedy crew Monty Python was to emphasize
3000: and exaggerate ridiculousnesses that their target had imposed upon
3001: themselves. Few things could be considered as humorous as making a
3002: redundancy protocol... redundant; e.g. being forced to replace it by
3003: Cisco lawyers and IETF policy.
3004: <p>
3005: We've been working a few years now on our packet filtering software
3006: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>
3007: and it became time to add failover. We want to be able to set up pf
3008: firewalls side by side, and exchange the stateful information between
3009: them, so that in case of failure another could take over 'keep state'
3010: sessions. Our
3011: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>
3012: protocol solves this problem. However, on both sides of the firewall,
3013: it is also necessary to have all the regular hosts not see a
3014: network failure. The only reliable way to do this is for both
3015: firewall machines to have and use the same IP and MAC addresses. But
3016: the only real way to do that is to use multicast protocols.
3017: <p>
3018: The IETF community proposed work in this direction in the late
3019: 90's, however in 1997 Cisco informed them that they believed some of
3020: Cisco's patents covered the proposed IETF VRRP (Virtual Router
3021: Redundancy Protocol); on
3022: <a href="http://www.ietf.org/ietf/IPR/VRRP-CISCO">
3023: March 20, 1998 they went further and specifically named their HSRP
3024: "Hot Standby Router Protocol" patent</a>. Reputedly, they were upset
3025: that IETF had not simply adopted the flawed HSRP protocol as the
3026: standard solution for this problem. Despite this legal pressure, the
3027: IETF community forged ahead and published VRRP as a standard even
3028: though there was a patent in the space. Why?
1.144 deraadt 3029: <a href="http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/doc/ietf/vrrp/vrrp-minutes-97dec.txt">
1.30 deraadt 3030: There was much deliberation</a>
3031: at all levels of the IETF, and unfortunately for all of us the
3032: politicians within eventually decided to allow patented technology in
3033: standards -- as long as the patented technology is licensed under RAND
3034: (Reasonable And Non Discriminatory) terms. As free software
3035: programmers, we therefore find ourselves in the position that these
3036: RAND standards must not be implemented by us, and we must deviate from
3037: the standard. We find all this rather Unreasonable and Discriminatory
3038: and we *will* design competing protocols. Some standards organization,
3039: eh?
3040: <p>
3041: Due to some HSRP flaws fixed by VRRP and for compatibility with the
3042: (HSRP-licensed) VRRP implementations of their competitors, Cisco in
3043: recent times has largely abandoned HSRP and now relies on VRRP instead
3044: -- a protocol designed for and by the community, but for which they
3045: claim patent rights.
3046: <p>
3047: On August 7 2002, after many communications, Robert Barr (Cisco's
3048: lawyer) firmly informed the OpenBSD community that Cisco would defend
3049: its patents for VRRP implementations -- meaning basically that it was
3050: impossible for a free software group to produce a truly free
3051: implementation of the IETF standard protocol. Perhaps this is because
3052: Cisco and Alcatel are currently engaged in a pair of patent lawsuits; a
3053: small piece of which is Cisco attempting to use the HSRP patent
3054: against Alcatel for their use of VRRP. Some IETF working group
3055: members took note of our complaints,
1.122 deraadt 3056: <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20061109082106/http://lists.microshaft.org/pipermail/dmca_discuss/2003-April/004702.html">
1.30 deraadt 3057: however an attempt in April 2003 to have the IETF abandon the use of
3058: patented technology failed to "reach consensus" in the IETF</a>.
3059: <p>
3060: A few years ago, the W3C, who designs our web protocols, tried to move
3061: to a RAND policy as well (primarily because of pressure from Microsoft
3062: and Apple), but the community outrage was so overpowering that they
3063: backed down. Some standards groups use this policy, while others
3064: avoid it -- the one differentiation being the amount of corporate
1.55 tom 3065: participation. In the IETF, the pro-RAND agents work for AT&T,
1.30 deraadt 3066: Alcatel, IBM, Cisco, Microsoft, and other large companies. Since IETF
3067: is an open forum, they can blend in as the populace, and vote just
3068: like all others, except against the community.
3069: <p>
3070: Translation: In failing to "reach consensus", the companies who
3071: benefit from RAND won, and the community lost again.
3072: <p>
3073: Left with little choice, we proceeded to reinvent the wheel or, more
3074: correctly, abandon the wheel entirely and go for a "hovercraft". We
3075: designed CARP (Common Address Redundancy Protocol) to solve the same
3076: problem that these other protocols are designed for, but without the
3077: same technological basis as HSRP and VRRP. We read the patent
3078: document carefully and ensured that CARP was fundamentally different.
3079: We also avoided many of the flaws in HSRP and VRRP (such as an inherent
3080: lack of security). And since we are OpenBSD developers, we designed
3081: it to use cryptography.
3082: <p>
3083: The combination of
3084: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>,
3085: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>, and
3086: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=carp&sektion=4">carp(4)</a>
3087: has permitted us to build highly redundant firewalls. To date, we
3088: have built a few networks that include as many as 4 firewalls, all
3089: running random reboot cycles. As long as one firewall is alive in a
3090: group, traffic through them moves smoothly and correctly for all of
3091: our packet filter functionality. Cisco's low end products are unable
3092: to do this reliably, and if they have high end products which can do
3093: this, you most certainly cannot afford them.
3094: <p>
3095: As a final note of course, when we petitioned IANA, the IETF body
3096: regulating "official" internet protocol numbers, to give us numbers
3097: for CARP and pfsync our request was denied. Apparently we had failed
3098: to go through an official standards organization. Consequently we
3099: were forced to choose a protocol number which would not conflict with
3100: anything else of value, and decided to place CARP at IP protocol 112.
3101: We also placed pfsync at an open and unused number. We informed IANA of
3102: these decisions, but they declined to reply.
3103: <p>
3104: This ridiculous situation then inspired one of our developers to create
3105: this parody of the well-known Monty Python skit and song.

3399: As we did for the 3.3 release, we have once again tried
3400: making release artwork and music which are allegorical
3401: of recent happenings.
3402: <p>
3403: Two years ago we became involved with the University

3405: security research and development .. on things that
3406: we were already intending to do. We provided ideas,
3407: wrote papers, and deployed cutting-edge technology;
3408: DARPA provided finances and reaped a share of the
3409: credit, and the University of Pennsylvania acted as
3410: a middle-man. We accepted funding based on the
3411: promise that our freedom to operate as we wished

1.21 deraadt 3413: than funding -- heck, we were dealing with the evil
1.20 deraadt 3414: forces of government, and needed to be careful.
3415: <p>
3416: A few months prior to this release, DARPA suddenly
3417: and without warning decided to withdraw that funding;
3418: they also aggressively backed out of contractual
3419: obligations. Many articles in the <a href=press.html>press</a> followed regarding
1.67 jolan 3420: this sudden maneuver. Apparently this hoopla happened
1.20 deraadt 3421: because an OpenBSD-related article in the Canadian
1.55 tom 3422: newspaper The Globe & Mail had quoted Theo de Raadt
1.20 deraadt 3423: making anti-war statements regarding Iraq and the
3424: theft of oil.
3425: <p>
3426: The only answer given (to major media reporters) by a
3427: DARPA spokesperson (Jan Walker) was this:
3428: <p>
3429: "As a result of the DARPA review of the
3430: project, and due to world events and the evolving
3431: threat posed by increasingly capable nation-states,
3432: the Government on April 21 advised the University
3433: to suspend work on the "security fest" portion of
3434: the project."
3435: <p>
3436: That almost toes the line of calling us terrorists!
3437: We had lost financial support, but the release of the
3438: statement above suddenly made us very happy to be free
3439: of any perceived obligation to such crazy people.
3440: <p>
3441: Since the termination came near natural contract
3442: termination (about 4 months remained), less damage
3443: than expected was sustained by the project. Sponsors
3444: stepped forward and helped us make up the missing funds
3445: we needed to run our "Hackathon", and the event
1.61 grunk 3446: proceeded as planned. We even had T-shirts made with
1.20 deraadt 3447: "Workstations of Mass Development" artwork for those
3448: developers who attended (sorry, they are not for sale).
3449: <p>
3450: We could not make stories like this up. So instead,

3452: of Robin Hood.
