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.

248: We've done stuff about LibreSSL before, but this particular song just
249: fit with the release theme. While the lyrics can speak for themselves,
250: "A Year In The Life" is representative of more than just LibreSSL. The
251: pattern of LibreSSL development is a pattern that has repeated itself
252: many times in OpenBSD -- a decision is made by a few people to do
253: something, followed by action, and letting the world share it if they
254: like it (such as with OpenSSH). To the developers actually doing the
255: work, reactions to such efforts can often seem surreal, or
256: irrelevant. The juxtaposition of working on the very real with the
257: surreal going on around you can often make working on such projects
258: feel like you're in a bit of an altered reality.. Sort of like the
259: song. A number of us have had many years like this in the last 20.

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

1.132 beck 635: Just as the original song professed its love for Brazil, "World,
636: you'll love my Linux" is the passionate call of an idealistic dreamer
637: who can't bear the thought of software that will only run under
638: Windows, and yet loves the situation with software that will only run
639: under particular Linux distributions.
640: <p>
641: This problem has proliferated itself into the standards bodies, with
642: Posix adopting Linuxisms ahead of any other variant of Unix.
643: <p>
644: Posix and Unix have made it where you can write reasonably portable
645: software and have it compile and run across a multitude of platforms.
1.157 deraadt 646: Now this seems to be changing as the love for Linux drives the
647: standards bodies into accepting everything Linux, good and bad.
1.132 beck 648: <p>
649: We also are faced with groups writing software that only works
650: with particular distributions of Linux. From this we get software that
651: not only isn't very portable, but often not particularly stable. Our
652: idealistic dreamer in the song loves running one, or more than one distribution
653: of Linux for a particular purpose. Unfortunately, the rest of us are left
654: with the unattractive choice of doing the same, or relying on
655: herculean efforts to port software that is being actively developed in a
1.157 deraadt 656: way to discourage porting it to other platforms.

1017: including his favorite number -- 42. Therefore we can remember
1018: the previous major achievement of CSRG - BSD 4.2.<br>
1019: <br>
1020: BSD 4.2 was
1021: not free, but it created and integrated so many new
1022: technologies that we all depend on today. Take a moment
1023: to consider how many things first available in BSD 4.2 you are using
1024: at this moment, to read this page -- sockets, AF_INET,
1025: virtual memory, etc.<br>
1026: <br>
1027: Today, new releases of operating systems from well-known vendors
1028: contain less new features than BSD 4.2 did.<br>

1446: Nearly 10 years ago Kirk McKusick wrote a history of
1447: the Berkeley Unix distributions for the
1.121 deraadt 1448: O'Reilly book "Open Sources: Voices from the Open Source Revolution".
1.104 deraadt 1449: We recommend you read his story, entitled
1450: <a href="http://oreilly.com/catalog/opensources/book/kirkmck.html">
1451: "Twenty Years of Berkeley Unix
1452: From AT&T-Owned to Freely Redistributable"</a>
1453: first, to see how Kirk remembers how we got here.
1454: Sadly, since it showed up in book form originally, this text has
1455: probably not been read by enough people.
1456: <br>
1457: <br>
1458: The USL(AT&T) vs BSDI/UCB court case settlement documents were
1459: not public until recently; their disclosure has made the facts more clear.
1460: But the story of how three people decided to free the BSD codebase
1461: of corporate pollution -- and release it freely -- is more interesting
1462: than the lawsuit which followed. Sure, a stupid lawsuit happened which
1463: hindered the acceptance of the BSD code during a critical period.
1464: But how did a bunch of guys go through the effort of replacing so
1465: much AT&T code in the first place? After all, companies had
1466: lots of really evil lawyers back then too -- were they not afraid?
1467: <br>
1468: <br>
1469: After a decade of development, most of the AT&T code had
1470: already been replaced by university researchers and their associates.
1471: So Keith Bostic, Mike Karels and Kirk McKusick (the main UCB CSRG group)
1472: started going through the 4.3BSD codebase to cleanse the rest.
1473: Keith, in particular, built a ragtag team (in those days, USENIX
1474: conferences were a gold mine for such team building) and led these
1475: rebels to rewrite and replace all the Imperial AT&T code, piece by
1476: piece, starting with the libraries and userland programs.
1477: Anyone who helped only got credit as a Contributor -- people like
1478: Chris Torek and a cast of .. hundreds more.
1479: <br>
1480: <br>
1.105 deraadt 1481: Then Mike and Kirk purified the kernel. After a bit more careful
1.104 deraadt 1482: checking, this led to the release of a clean tree called Net/2 which
1483: was given to the world in June 1991 -- the largest dump of free source
1484: code the world had ever received (for those days -- not modern monsters like OpenOffice).
1485: <br>
1486: <br>
1487: Some of these ragtags formed a company (BSDi) to sell a production system
1488: based on this free code base, and a year later Unix System Laboratories
1489: (basically AT&T) sued BSDi and UCB.
1490: Eventually AT&T lost and after a few trifling fixes (described in the
1491: lawsuit documents) the codebase was free. A few newer developments
1492: (and more free code) were added, and released in June 1994 as 4.4BSD-Lite.
1493: Just over 14 years later OpenBSD is releasing its own 4.4 release (and for
1494: a lot less than <a href=orders.html>$1000 per copy</a>).
1495: <br>
1496: <br>
1497: The OpenBSD 4.4 release is dedicated to Keith Bostic, Mike Karels, Kirk McKusick,
1498: and all of those who contributed to making Net/2 and 4.4BSD-Lite free.

1617: <br>
1618: <br>
1619: In 1998 when a United Airlines plane was waiting in the queue at
1.102 deraadt 1620: Washington Dulles International Airport for take-off to New Orleans
1621: (where a Usenix conference was taking place), one man stood up from
1622: his seat, demanded that they stop waiting in the queue and be permitted
1.95 deraadt 1623: to deplane. Even after orders from the crew and a pilot from
1624: the cockpit he refused to sit down. The plane exited the queue
1.96 deraadt 1625: and returned to the airport gangway. Security personnel ran onto
1.95 deraadt 1626: the plane and removed this man, Richard Stallman, from the plane.
1627: After Richard was removed from the plane, everyone else stayed
1628: onboard and continued their journey to New Orleans. A few
1629: OpenBSD developers were on that same plane, seated very closeby,
1630: so we have an accurate story of the events.
1631: <br>
1632: <br>
1633: This is the man who presumes that he should preach to us
1634: about morality, freedom, and what is best for us. He believes
1635: it is his God-given role to tell us what is best for us, when he
1636: has shown that he takes actions which are not best for everyone.
1637: He prefers actions which he thinks are best for him -- and him
1638: alone -- and then lies to the public. Richard Stallman is no Spock.
1639: <br>
1640: <br>
1641: We release our software in ways that are maximally free. We
1642: remove all restrictions on use and distribution, but leave a
1643: requirement to be known as the authors. We follow a pattern of
1644: free source code distribution that started in the mid-1980's
1645: in Berkeley, from before Richard Stallman had any powerful
1646: influence which he could use so falsely.
1647: <br>
1648: <br>
1649: We have a development sub-tree called "ports". Our "ports" tree
1650: builds software that is 'found on the net' into packages that
1651: OpenBSD users can use more easily. A scaffold of Makefiles and
1652: scripts automatically fetch these pieces of software, apply
1653: patches as required by OpenBSD, and then build them into nice
1654: neat little tarballs. This is provided as a convenience for
1.97 okan 1655: users. The ports tree is maintained by OpenBSD entirely separately
1.95 deraadt 1656: from our main source tree. Some of the software which is fetched
1657: and compiled is not as free as we would like, but what can we do.
1658: All the other operating system projects make exactly the same
1659: decision, and provide these same conveniences to their users.
1660: <br>
1661: <br>
1662: Richard felt that this "ports tree" of ours made OpenBSD non-free.
1663: He came to our mailing lists and lectured to us specifically, yet
1664: he said nothing to the many other vendors who do the same; many of
1665: them donate to the FSF and perhaps that has something to do with it.
1666: Meanwhile, Richard has personally made sure that all the official
1667: GNU software -- including Emacs -- compiles and runs on Windows.
1668: <br>
1669: <br>
1670: That man is a false leader. He is a hypocrite. There may be some
1671: people who listen to him. But we don't listen to people who do not
1672: follow their own stupid rules.

1771: Those of us who work on OpenBSD are often asked why we do what we do.
1.91 merdely 1772: This song's lyrics express the core motivations and goals which have
1.90 deraadt 1773: remained unchanged over the years - secure, free, reliable software,
1774: that can be shared with anyone. Many other projects purport to share
1775: these same goals, and love to wrap themselves in a banner of "Open
1776: Source" and "Free Software". Given how many projects there are one
1777: would think it might be easy to stick to those goals, but it doesn't
1778: seem to work out that way. A variety of desires drag many projects
1779: away from the ideals very quickly.
1780: <p>
1.93 jmc 1781: Much of any operating system's usability depends on device support,
1.91 merdely 1782: and there are some very tempting alternative ways to support devices
1.90 deraadt 1783: available to those who will surrender their moral code. A project
1784: could compromise by entering into NDA agreements with vendors, or
1785: including binary objects in the operating system for which no source
1786: code exists, or tying their users down with contract terms hidden
1787: inside copyright notices. All of these choices surrender some subset
1788: of the ideals, and we simply will not do this. Sure, we care about
1789: getting devices working, but not at the expense of our original goals.
1790: <p>
1791: Of course since "free to share with anyone" is part of our goals,
1792: we've been at the forefront of many licensing and NDA issues,
1.91 merdely 1793: resulting in a good number of successes. This success had led to much
1.90 deraadt 1794: recognition for the advancement of Free Software causes, but has also
1795: led to other issues.
1796: <p>
1797: We fully admit that some BSD licensed software has been taken and used
1798: by many commercial entities, but contributions come back more often
1799: than people seem to know, and when they do, they're always still
1800: properly attributed to the original authors, and given back in the
1801: same spirit that they were given in the first place.
1802: <p>
1803: That's the best we can expect from companies. After all, we make our
1804: stuff so free so that everyone can benefit -- it remains a core goal;
1805: we really have not strayed at all in 10 years. But we can expect more
1806: from projects who talk about sharing -- such as the various Linux
1807: projects.
1808: <p>
1809: Now rather than seeing us as friends who can cooperatively improve all
1810: codebases, we are seen as foes who oppose the GPL. The participants
1811: of "the race" are being manipulated by the FSF and their legal arm, the
1812: SFLC, for the FSF's aims, rather than the goal of getting good source
1813: into Linux (and all other code bases). We don't want this to come off
1814: as some conspiracy theory, but we simply urge those developers caution
1815: -- they should ensure that the path they are being shown by those who
1816: have positioned themselves as leaders is still true. Run for yourself,
1817: not for their agenda.
1818: <p>
1819: The Race is there to be run, for ourselves, not for others. We do
1820: what we do to run our own race, and finish it the best we can. We
1821: don't rush off at every distraction, or worry how this will affect our
1822: image. We are here to have fun doing right.

1924: As developers of a free operating system, one of our prime responsibilities
1925: is device support. No matter how nice an operating system is, it remains
1926: useless and unusable without solid support for a wide percentage of the
1927: hardware that is available on the market. It is therefore rather unsurprising
1928: that more than half of our efforts focus on various aspects relating to
1929: device support.
1930: <p>
1.85 mbalmer 1931: Most parts of the operating system (from low kernel, through to libraries,
1.81 deraadt 1932: all the way up to X, and then even to applications) use fairly obvious
1933: interface layers, where the "communication protocols" or "argument passing"
1934: mechanisms (ie. APIs) can be understood by any developer who takes the
1935: time to read the free code. Device drivers pose an additional and significant
1936: challenge though: because many vendors refuse to document the exact behavior
1937: of their devices. The devices are black boxes. And often they are surprisingly
1938: weird, or even buggy.
1939: <p>
1940: When vendor documentation does not exist, the development process can
1941: become extremely hairy. Groups of developers have found themselves focused
1942: for months at a time, figuring out the most simple steps, simply because
1943: the hardware is a complete mystery. Access to documentation can ease
1944: these difficulties rapidly. However, getting access to the chip documentation
1945: from vendors is ... almost always a negotiation. If we had open access to
1.84 matthieu 1946: documentation, anyone would be able to see how simple all these devices
1.81 deraadt 1947: actually are, and device driver development would flourish (and not just in
1948: OpenBSD, either).
1949: <p>
1950: When we proceed into negotiations with vendors, asking for documentation,
1951: our position is often weak. One would assume that the modern market is fair,
1952: and that selling chips would be the primary focus of these vendors. But
1953: unfortunately a number of behemoth software vendors have spent the last 10 or

1.82 jsg 1958: A particularly nasty player in this regard has been the Linux vendors and
1.87 tom 1959: some Linux developers, who have played along with an American corporate model
1.81 deraadt 1960: of requiring NDAs for chip documentation. This has effectively put Linux
1961: into the club with Microsoft, but has left all the other operating system
1962: communities -- and their developers -- with much less available clout for

2316: OpenBSD emphasizes security. It also emphasizes openness. All the code
2317: is there for all to see. Blobs are vendor-compiled binary drivers
2318: without any source code. Hardware makers like them because they
2319: obscure the details of how to make their hardware work. They hide bugs
2320: and workarounds for bugs. Newer versions of blobs can weaken support
2321: for older hardware and motivate people to buy new hardware.<br>
2322: <br>
2323: <br>
2324: Blobs are expedient. Many other open source operating systems
2325: cheerfully incorporate them; in fact their users demand them.<br>
2326: <br>
2327: <br>
2328: But when you need to trust the system, how do you check the blob for
2329: quality? For adherence to standards? How do you know the blob contains
2330: no malicious code? No incompetent code? Inspection is impossible; you
2331: can only test the black box. And when it breaks, you have no idea why.<br>
2332: <br>
2333: <br>
2334: <ul>
2335: <li>Blobs can be 'de-supported' by vendors<br>
2336: at any time.<br>
2337: <br>
2338: <li>Blobs cannot be supported by developers.<br>
2339: <br>

2343: <br>
2344: <li>Blobs cannot be audited.<br>

2347: Blobs are specific to an architecture, thus<br>

2354: This release, like every OpenBSD release, contains OpenBSD and its
2355: source code. It runs on a wide variety of hardware. It contains many
2356: new features and improvements. OpenBSD does attempt to convince
2357: vendors to release documentation, and often reverse-engineers around
2358: the need for blobs. OpenBSD remains blob-free. Anyone can look at it,

2499: For a multitude of (stupid) reasons, vendors often attempt to lock
2500: out our participation with their customers by refusing to give our
2501: programmers sufficient documentation so that we can properly support
2502: their devices.
2503: <p>
2504: Take Adaptec for instance. Before the 3.7 release we disabled support
2505: for the
1.70 steven 2506: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=aac&sektion=4">aac(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 2507: Adaptec RAID driver because negotiations with the Adaptec had failed.
2508: They refused to give us documentation. Without documentation, support
2509: for their controller had always been poor. The driver had bugs (which
2510: affected some users more than others) which caused crashes, and of
2511: course there was no RAID management support. Apparently most of these
1.59 jolan 2512: bugs are because the Adaptec controllers have numerous buggy firmware
2513: issues which require careful workarounds; without documentation we
2514: cannot solve these issues.
1.58 deraadt 2515: <p>
2516: The driver was written by an OpenBSD developer, who cribbed parts
2517: of it from a FreeBSD driver written by an ex-Adaptec employee. But no
2518: public documentation exists, and Adaptec has dozens of cards with
2519: different firmware issues. All of this adds up to a very desperate
2520: development model -- it becomes very hard for the principle of
2521: "quality" to show its head.
2522: <p>
2523: RAID devices have two main qualities that people buy them for:
2524: <br>
2525: <ul>
1.60 pvalchev 2526: <li>Redundancy
1.58 deraadt 2527: <li>Repair
2528: </ul>
2529: You want a RAID unit to provide you with redundancy, so that if some drives
1.60 pvalchev 2530: fail, your data is not lost. But once a drive has failed, you require your
2531: array to (automatically, most likely) perform the operations to repair
1.58 deraadt 2532: itself, so that it is functioning perfectly again.
2533: <p>
2534: Some vendors (or like the above Adaptec case, ex-employee) have
2535: sometimes given us some documentation so that we could write drivers,
2536: so that their devices could support Redundancy. But these vendors have
2537: never given us any documentation for performing Repairs.
2538: <p>
2539: Instead these vendors have tried to pass out non-free RAID management
2540: tools. These are typically gigantic Linux binaries, or some crazy thing, that
1.67 jolan 2541: is supposed to work through a bizarre interface in the device driver, which
1.58 deraadt 2542: we are apparently supposed to write code for without any documentation.
2543: <p>
2544: And since we refuse to accept our users being forced into depending on
2545: vendor binaries, we have reverse engineered the management interface for
2546: the AMI controllers.
2547: <p>
2548: There is no great "intellectual property" in this stuff, it is all
2549: rather simple primitives. This is all that we need to implement
2550: basic RAID management:
2551: <ul>
2552: <li>SCSI transactions on the back-side busses
2553: <li>Discovering which drives are in which volumes
2554: <li>Being able to silence the buzzer
2555: <li>Marking a new drive as a Hot-Spare
2556: </ul>
2557: <p>
2558: The AMI driver needed to support these small primitive operations.
2559: And once we had that, we rely on something else which we know: Almost
2560: all the RAID controllers would need the same primitives.
2561: <p>
2562: Thus armed, we were able to write a generic framework which would later
2563: work on other vendors' RAID cards, that is, once we get documentation
2564: or do some reverse engineering for their products.
2565: <p>
1.60 pvalchev 2566: But having been ignored for so long by these vendors, it is not clear when (if
2567: ever) we will get around to writing that support for Adaptec RAID
1.58 deraadt 2568: controllers now. And Adaptec has gone and bought ICP Vortex, which
2569: may mean we can never get documentation for the
1.70 steven 2570: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=gdt&sektion=4">gdt(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 2571: controllers.
2572: The "Open Source Friendly liar" IBM owns Mylex, and Mylex has told us we
2573: would not get documentation, either.
2574: 3Ware has lied to us and our users so many times they make politicians
2575: look saintly.
2576: <p>
2577: Until other vendors give us documentation, if you want reliable RAID
2578: in OpenBSD, please buy
2579: <a href="http://www.lsilogic.com/products/megaraid/index.html">LSI/AMI</a>

2676: For an operating system to get anywhere in "the market" it must have
2677: good device support.<br>
2678: <br>
2679: Ethernet was our first concern. Many vendors refused to supply
2680: programmers with programming documentation for these chipsets. Donald
2681: Becker (Linux) and Bill Paul (FreeBSD) changed the rules of the game
2682: here: They wrote drivers for the chipsets that they could get
2683: documentation for, and as they succeeded in writing more and more
2684: drivers, eventually closed vendors slowly opened up until most
2685: ethernet chipset documentation was available. Today, some vendors
2686: still resist releasing ethernet chipset documentation (ie. Broadcom,
1.62 brad 2687: Intel, Marvell/SysKonnect, NVIDIA) but the driver problem is mostly
1.46 henning 2688: solved in the ethernet market.<br>
1.44 deraadt 2689: <br>
2690: Similar problems have happened in the SCSI, IDE, and RAID markets.
2691: Again, the problem was solved by writing drivers for documented
2692: devices first. If the free software user communities use those drivers
2693: preferentially, it is a market loss for the secretive vendors.
2694: Another approach that has worked is to publish email addresses and
2695: phone numbers for the marketing department managers in these
2696: companies. These email campaigns have worked almost every time.<br>
2697: <br>
2698: The new frontier: 802.11 wireless chipsets.<br>
2699: <br>
2700: Over the last six months, this came to a head in the OpenBSD project.
2701: We asked our users to help us petition numerous vendors so that we
2702: could get chipset documentation or redistributable firmware. Certainly, we did
1.52 deraadt 2703: not succeed for some vendors. But we did influence some vendors, in
1.44 deraadt 2704: particular the Taiwanese (Ralink and Realtek), who have given us
2705: everything we need. We also reverse engineered the Atheros chipsets.<br>
2706: <br>
2707:
2708: Want to help us? Avoid
2709: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ipw">Intel Centrino</a>,
2710: Broadcom, TI, or Connexant PrismGT chipsets.
2711: Heck, avoid buying even regular
1.48 deraadt 2712: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=wi">old pre-G Prism products</a>,
1.44 deraadt 2713: to send a message.
1.48 deraadt 2714: If you can, buy 802.11 products using chips by
1.44 deraadt 2715: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=rtw">Realtek</a>,
2716: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ral">Ralink</a>,
2717: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=atu">Atmel</a>,

2719: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ath">Atheros</a>.
2720: Our manual pages attempt to explain which vendors (ie. D-Link) box
1.52 deraadt 2721: which chipsets into which product.
1.44 deraadt 2722: <br>
2723: <br>
2724: Send a message that open support for hardware matters. A vendor in
1.56 cloder 2725: Redmond largely continues their practices because they get
1.44 deraadt 2726: the chipset documentation years before everyone else does.
2727: What really upsets us the most is that some Linux vendors are signing
2728: Non-Disclosure Agreements with vendors, or contracts that let them
2729: distribute firmwares. Meanwhile both Linux and FSF head developers
1.49 nick 2730: are not asking their communities to help us in our efforts to free
1.44 deraadt 2731: development information for all, but are even going further and
2732: telling their development communities to not work with us at
2733: pressuring vendors. It is ridiculous.

2836: What is up with some free software providers?!
2837: They say "Here's something free! Oh wait, I changed my mind."
2838: <p>
2839: While not exactly bait-and-switch, this is something which
2840: has been causing the community continual grief, and therefore
2841: we decided to honour a few of the projects that have decided
1.41 deraadt 2842: to go non-free. After all.. having gone non-free, no one is
1.37 deraadt 2843: going to remember them in the end.
2844: <p>
2845: This song is dedicated to a few worthy groups who
2846: have made this Free-to-Non-Free transition with their
2847: offerings in the last few years:
2848: <ul>
2849: <li>David Dawes worked for years with a team of
2850: developers to make a free X11 distribution for us to use,
2851: called XFree86, 98% of which was based on entirely free
2852: code from MIT. Suddenly, one day, he decided that
2853: we must give him more credit (ie. advertise his name) or
2854: stop using it. Within about 4 months every project had
2855: told him to get stuffed, and the community has created a
2856: replacement effort.
1.41 deraadt 2857: Now his team cannot even keep their web pages up to date...
1.37 deraadt 2858: <p>
2859: <li>OpenBSD was the first operating system to integrate a
2860: packet filter, and it was the ipf codebase from Darren Reed
2861: that we chose. But a few years later he told us that we
2862: were not free to make changes to the code. So we deleted ipf,
2863: and our new packet filter far exceeds the capabilities of the
2864: one he wrote. And other projects are switching too...
2865: <p>
2866: <li>The Apache group started from the humble beginnings
2867: of just being 'a patchy' set of changes to a completely free
2868: web server of dubious quality. But the years have changed them,
2869: and what they supply is now quite non-free... released under
1.40 jolan 2870: a license so entangled in legalese that we have absolutely no
1.51 jcs 2871: doubt that there are encumbrances hidden within. Legal terms
1.37 deraadt 2872: protect. Who are they protecting? Not your freedom.
2873: </ul>
2874: So here's a goodbye to those three groups, and a warning to any
2875: others who will follow them:
2876: Make your stuff non-free, and something else will
2877: replace it.

3000: A common theme used by the comedy crew Monty Python was to emphasize
3001: and exaggerate ridiculousnesses that their target had imposed upon
3002: themselves. Few things could be considered as humorous as making a
3003: redundancy protocol... redundant; e.g. being forced to replace it by
3004: Cisco lawyers and IETF policy.
3005: <p>
3006: We've been working a few years now on our packet filtering software
3007: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>
3008: and it became time to add failover. We want to be able to set up pf
3009: firewalls side by side, and exchange the stateful information between
3010: them, so that in case of failure another could take over 'keep state'
3011: sessions. Our
3012: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>
3013: protocol solves this problem. However, on both sides of the firewall,
3014: it is also necessary to have all the regular hosts not see a
3015: network failure. The only reliable way to do this is for both
3016: firewall machines to have and use the same IP and MAC addresses. But
3017: the only real way to do that is to use multicast protocols.
3018: <p>
3019: The IETF community proposed work in this direction in the late
3020: 90's, however in 1997 Cisco informed them that they believed some of
3021: Cisco's patents covered the proposed IETF VRRP (Virtual Router
3022: Redundancy Protocol); on
3023: <a href="http://www.ietf.org/ietf/IPR/VRRP-CISCO">
3024: March 20, 1998 they went further and specifically named their HSRP
3025: "Hot Standby Router Protocol" patent</a>. Reputedly, they were upset
3026: that IETF had not simply adopted the flawed HSRP protocol as the
3027: standard solution for this problem. Despite this legal pressure, the
3028: IETF community forged ahead and published VRRP as a standard even
3029: though there was a patent in the space. Why?
1.144 deraadt 3030: <a href="http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/doc/ietf/vrrp/vrrp-minutes-97dec.txt">
1.30 deraadt 3031: There was much deliberation</a>
3032: at all levels of the IETF, and unfortunately for all of us the
3033: politicians within eventually decided to allow patented technology in
3034: standards -- as long as the patented technology is licensed under RAND
3035: (Reasonable And Non Discriminatory) terms. As free software
3036: programmers, we therefore find ourselves in the position that these
3037: RAND standards must not be implemented by us, and we must deviate from
3038: the standard. We find all this rather Unreasonable and Discriminatory
3039: and we *will* design competing protocols. Some standards organization,
3040: eh?
3041: <p>
3042: Due to some HSRP flaws fixed by VRRP and for compatibility with the
3043: (HSRP-licensed) VRRP implementations of their competitors, Cisco in
3044: recent times has largely abandoned HSRP and now relies on VRRP instead
3045: -- a protocol designed for and by the community, but for which they
3046: claim patent rights.
3047: <p>
3048: On August 7 2002, after many communications, Robert Barr (Cisco's
3049: lawyer) firmly informed the OpenBSD community that Cisco would defend
3050: its patents for VRRP implementations -- meaning basically that it was
3051: impossible for a free software group to produce a truly free
3052: implementation of the IETF standard protocol. Perhaps this is because
3053: Cisco and Alcatel are currently engaged in a pair of patent lawsuits; a
3054: small piece of which is Cisco attempting to use the HSRP patent
3055: against Alcatel for their use of VRRP. Some IETF working group
3056: members took note of our complaints,
1.122 deraadt 3057: <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20061109082106/http://lists.microshaft.org/pipermail/dmca_discuss/2003-April/004702.html">
1.30 deraadt 3058: however an attempt in April 2003 to have the IETF abandon the use of
3059: patented technology failed to "reach consensus" in the IETF</a>.
3060: <p>
3061: A few years ago, the W3C, who designs our web protocols, tried to move
3062: to a RAND policy as well (primarily because of pressure from Microsoft
3063: and Apple), but the community outrage was so overpowering that they
3064: backed down. Some standards groups use this policy, while others
3065: avoid it -- the one differentiation being the amount of corporate
1.55 tom 3066: participation. In the IETF, the pro-RAND agents work for AT&T,
1.30 deraadt 3067: Alcatel, IBM, Cisco, Microsoft, and other large companies. Since IETF
3068: is an open forum, they can blend in as the populace, and vote just
3069: like all others, except against the community.
3070: <p>
3071: Translation: In failing to "reach consensus", the companies who
3072: benefit from RAND won, and the community lost again.
3073: <p>
3074: Left with little choice, we proceeded to reinvent the wheel or, more
3075: correctly, abandon the wheel entirely and go for a "hovercraft". We
3076: designed CARP (Common Address Redundancy Protocol) to solve the same
3077: problem that these other protocols are designed for, but without the
3078: same technological basis as HSRP and VRRP. We read the patent
3079: document carefully and ensured that CARP was fundamentally different.
3080: We also avoided many of the flaws in HSRP and VRRP (such as an inherent
3081: lack of security). And since we are OpenBSD developers, we designed
3082: it to use cryptography.
3083: <p>
3084: The combination of
3085: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>,
3086: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>, and
3087: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=carp&sektion=4">carp(4)</a>
3088: has permitted us to build highly redundant firewalls. To date, we
3089: have built a few networks that include as many as 4 firewalls, all
3090: running random reboot cycles. As long as one firewall is alive in a
3091: group, traffic through them moves smoothly and correctly for all of
3092: our packet filter functionality. Cisco's low end products are unable
3093: to do this reliably, and if they have high end products which can do
3094: this, you most certainly cannot afford them.
3095: <p>
3096: As a final note of course, when we petitioned IANA, the IETF body
3097: regulating "official" internet protocol numbers, to give us numbers
3098: for CARP and pfsync our request was denied. Apparently we had failed
3099: to go through an official standards organization. Consequently we
3100: were forced to choose a protocol number which would not conflict with
3101: anything else of value, and decided to place CARP at IP protocol 112.
3102: We also placed pfsync at an open and unused number. We informed IANA of
3103: these decisions, but they declined to reply.
3104: <p>
3105: This ridiculous situation then inspired one of our developers to create
3106: this parody of the well-known Monty Python skit and song.

3400: As we did for the 3.3 release, we have once again tried
3401: making release artwork and music which are allegorical
3402: of recent happenings.
3403: <p>
3404: Two years ago we became involved with the University

3406: security research and development .. on things that
3407: we were already intending to do. We provided ideas,
3408: wrote papers, and deployed cutting-edge technology;
3409: DARPA provided finances and reaped a share of the
3410: credit, and the University of Pennsylvania acted as
3411: a middle-man. We accepted funding based on the
3412: promise that our freedom to operate as we wished

1.21 deraadt 3414: than funding -- heck, we were dealing with the evil
1.20 deraadt 3415: forces of government, and needed to be careful.
3416: <p>
3417: A few months prior to this release, DARPA suddenly
3418: and without warning decided to withdraw that funding;
3419: they also aggressively backed out of contractual
3420: obligations. Many articles in the <a href=press.html>press</a> followed regarding
1.67 jolan 3421: this sudden maneuver. Apparently this hoopla happened
1.20 deraadt 3422: because an OpenBSD-related article in the Canadian
1.55 tom 3423: newspaper The Globe & Mail had quoted Theo de Raadt
1.20 deraadt 3424: making anti-war statements regarding Iraq and the
3425: theft of oil.
3426: <p>
3427: The only answer given (to major media reporters) by a
3428: DARPA spokesperson (Jan Walker) was this:
3429: <p>
3430: "As a result of the DARPA review of the
3431: project, and due to world events and the evolving
3432: threat posed by increasingly capable nation-states,
3433: the Government on April 21 advised the University
3434: to suspend work on the "security fest" portion of
3435: the project."
3436: <p>
3437: That almost toes the line of calling us terrorists!
3438: We had lost financial support, but the release of the
3439: statement above suddenly made us very happy to be free
3440: of any perceived obligation to such crazy people.
3441: <p>
3442: Since the termination came near natural contract
3443: termination (about 4 months remained), less damage
3444: than expected was sustained by the project. Sponsors
3445: stepped forward and helped us make up the missing funds
3446: we needed to run our "Hackathon", and the event
1.61 grunk 3447: proceeded as planned. We even had T-shirts made with
1.20 deraadt 3448: "Workstations of Mass Development" artwork for those
3449: developers who attended (sorry, they are not for sale).
3450: <p>
3451: We could not make stories like this up. So instead,
3452: we are making up an allegory about it, using the tale
3453: of Robin Hood.
