28: setting, a movie, or some genre) into the fishy world of Puffy, to
29: describe some advance, event or controversy the project went through
1.108 deraadt 30: over the previous six months. To match the art released with the CD,
1.175 deraadt 31: we join up with some musicians we know to make at least one song.

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

706: <p>
1.146 guenther 707: In August of 2012, Philip Guenther started the OpenBSD work to
1.157 deraadt 708: solve this.
1.146 guenther 709: After a year of work it was ready enough for merging, and in August 2013
710: the <b>time_t</b> type was changed to int64_t on all
711: platforms and the kernel and userland were adapted to the new
712: situation. The initial work was committed right after OpenBSD 5.4,
713: then polished in tree over the next 6 months.
1.144 deraadt 714: <p>
715: The next part of the process was to drag the "ports" software
1.146 guenther 716: ecosystem along because no one else had paved the way for 32-bit
1.144 deraadt 717: machines to run with 64-bit <b>time_t</b>. This required a fair
718: bit of upstream involvement. Thousands of fixes were required to
719: make both 32-bit and 64-bit time work transparently. There will
720: be more fixing in the future, but the concept is proven.
721: <p>
722: In the past OpenBSD pushed risky theoretical ideas into mainstream
723: software practice by proving the ecosystem was ready to change.
724: No OS wants to make a ABI jump until the case for change is proven.
725: Stack protection, ASLR, and W^X principles are now in common use
726: by mainline operating systems... because things like Firefox
727: and Postgresql don't break anymore. OpenBSD built that route.
728: <p>
729: In the same way, the road is paved for the 64-bit <b>time_t</b>
730: transition. Other operating systems can now make this jump.

1.132 beck 900: Just as the original song professed its love for Brazil, "World,
901: you'll love my Linux" is the passionate call of an idealistic dreamer

903: Windows, and yet loves the situation with software that will only run
904: under particular Linux distributions.
905: <p>
906: This problem has proliferated itself into the standards bodies, with
907: Posix adopting Linuxisms ahead of any other variant of Unix.
908: <p>
909: Posix and Unix have made it where you can write reasonably portable
910: software and have it compile and run across a multitude of platforms.
1.157 deraadt 911: Now this seems to be changing as the love for Linux drives the
912: standards bodies into accepting everything Linux, good and bad.
1.132 beck 913: <p>
914: We also are faced with groups writing software that only works
915: with particular distributions of Linux. From this we get software that
916: not only isn't very portable, but often not particularly stable. Our
917: idealistic dreamer in the song loves running one, or more than one distribution
918: of Linux for a particular purpose. Unfortunately, the rest of us are left
919: with the unattractive choice of doing the same, or relying on
920: herculean efforts to port software that is being actively developed in a
1.157 deraadt 921: way to discourage porting it to other platforms.

1700: Nearly 10 years ago Kirk McKusick wrote a history of
1701: the Berkeley Unix distributions for the
1.121 deraadt 1702: O'Reilly book "Open Sources: Voices from the Open Source Revolution".
1.104 deraadt 1703: We recommend you read his story, entitled
1704: <a href="http://oreilly.com/catalog/opensources/book/kirkmck.html">
1705: "Twenty Years of Berkeley Unix
1706: From AT&T-Owned to Freely Redistributable"</a>
1707: first, to see how Kirk remembers how we got here.
1708: Sadly, since it showed up in book form originally, this text has
1709: probably not been read by enough people.
1710: <br>
1711: <br>
1712: The USL(AT&T) vs BSDI/UCB court case settlement documents were
1713: not public until recently; their disclosure has made the facts more clear.
1714: But the story of how three people decided to free the BSD codebase
1715: of corporate pollution -- and release it freely -- is more interesting
1716: than the lawsuit which followed. Sure, a stupid lawsuit happened which
1717: hindered the acceptance of the BSD code during a critical period.
1718: But how did a bunch of guys go through the effort of replacing so
1719: much AT&T code in the first place? After all, companies had
1720: lots of really evil lawyers back then too -- were they not afraid?
1721: <br>
1722: <br>
1723: After a decade of development, most of the AT&T code had
1724: already been replaced by university researchers and their associates.
1725: So Keith Bostic, Mike Karels and Kirk McKusick (the main UCB CSRG group)
1726: started going through the 4.3BSD codebase to cleanse the rest.
1727: Keith, in particular, built a ragtag team (in those days, USENIX
1728: conferences were a gold mine for such team building) and led these
1729: rebels to rewrite and replace all the Imperial AT&T code, piece by
1730: piece, starting with the libraries and userland programs.
1731: Anyone who helped only got credit as a Contributor -- people like
1732: Chris Torek and a cast of .. hundreds more.
1733: <br>
1734: <br>
1.105 deraadt 1735: Then Mike and Kirk purified the kernel. After a bit more careful
1.104 deraadt 1736: checking, this led to the release of a clean tree called Net/2 which
1737: was given to the world in June 1991 -- the largest dump of free source
1738: code the world had ever received (for those days -- not modern monsters like OpenOffice).
1739: <br>
1740: <br>
1741: Some of these ragtags formed a company (BSDi) to sell a production system
1742: based on this free code base, and a year later Unix System Laboratories
1743: (basically AT&T) sued BSDi and UCB.
1744: Eventually AT&T lost and after a few trifling fixes (described in the
1745: lawsuit documents) the codebase was free. A few newer developments
1746: (and more free code) were added, and released in June 1994 as 4.4BSD-Lite.
1747: Just over 14 years later OpenBSD is releasing its own 4.4 release (and for
1748: a lot less than <a href=orders.html>$1000 per copy</a>).
1749: <br>
1750: <br>
1751: The OpenBSD 4.4 release is dedicated to Keith Bostic, Mike Karels, Kirk McKusick,
1752: and all of those who contributed to making Net/2 and 4.4BSD-Lite free.

1870: <br>
1871: <br>
1872: In 1998 when a United Airlines plane was waiting in the queue at
1.102 deraadt 1873: Washington Dulles International Airport for take-off to New Orleans
1874: (where a Usenix conference was taking place), one man stood up from
1875: his seat, demanded that they stop waiting in the queue and be permitted
1.95 deraadt 1876: to deplane. Even after orders from the crew and a pilot from
1877: the cockpit he refused to sit down. The plane exited the queue
1.96 deraadt 1878: and returned to the airport gangway. Security personnel ran onto
1.95 deraadt 1879: the plane and removed this man, Richard Stallman, from the plane.
1880: After Richard was removed from the plane, everyone else stayed
1881: onboard and continued their journey to New Orleans. A few
1882: OpenBSD developers were on that same plane, seated very closeby,
1883: so we have an accurate story of the events.
1884: <br>
1885: <br>
1886: This is the man who presumes that he should preach to us
1887: about morality, freedom, and what is best for us. He believes
1888: it is his God-given role to tell us what is best for us, when he
1889: has shown that he takes actions which are not best for everyone.
1890: He prefers actions which he thinks are best for him -- and him
1891: alone -- and then lies to the public. Richard Stallman is no Spock.
1892: <br>
1893: <br>
1894: We release our software in ways that are maximally free. We
1895: remove all restrictions on use and distribution, but leave a
1896: requirement to be known as the authors. We follow a pattern of
1897: free source code distribution that started in the mid-1980's
1898: in Berkeley, from before Richard Stallman had any powerful
1899: influence which he could use so falsely.
1900: <br>
1901: <br>
1902: We have a development sub-tree called "ports". Our "ports" tree
1903: builds software that is 'found on the net' into packages that
1904: OpenBSD users can use more easily. A scaffold of Makefiles and
1905: scripts automatically fetch these pieces of software, apply
1906: patches as required by OpenBSD, and then build them into nice
1907: neat little tarballs. This is provided as a convenience for
1.97 okan 1908: users. The ports tree is maintained by OpenBSD entirely separately
1.95 deraadt 1909: from our main source tree. Some of the software which is fetched
1910: and compiled is not as free as we would like, but what can we do.
1911: All the other operating system projects make exactly the same
1912: decision, and provide these same conveniences to their users.
1913: <br>
1914: <br>
1915: Richard felt that this "ports tree" of ours made OpenBSD non-free.
1916: He came to our mailing lists and lectured to us specifically, yet
1917: he said nothing to the many other vendors who do the same; many of
1918: them donate to the FSF and perhaps that has something to do with it.
1919: Meanwhile, Richard has personally made sure that all the official
1920: GNU software -- including Emacs -- compiles and runs on Windows.
1921: <br>
1922: <br>
1923: That man is a false leader. He is a hypocrite. There may be some
1924: people who listen to him. But we don't listen to people who do not
1925: follow their own stupid rules.

2023: Those of us who work on OpenBSD are often asked why we do what we do.
1.91 merdely 2024: This song's lyrics express the core motivations and goals which have
1.90 deraadt 2025: remained unchanged over the years - secure, free, reliable software,
2026: that can be shared with anyone. Many other projects purport to share
2027: these same goals, and love to wrap themselves in a banner of "Open
2028: Source" and "Free Software". Given how many projects there are one
2029: would think it might be easy to stick to those goals, but it doesn't
2030: seem to work out that way. A variety of desires drag many projects
2031: away from the ideals very quickly.
2032: <p>
1.93 jmc 2033: Much of any operating system's usability depends on device support,
1.91 merdely 2034: and there are some very tempting alternative ways to support devices
1.90 deraadt 2035: available to those who will surrender their moral code. A project
2036: could compromise by entering into NDA agreements with vendors, or
2037: including binary objects in the operating system for which no source
2038: code exists, or tying their users down with contract terms hidden
2039: inside copyright notices. All of these choices surrender some subset
2040: of the ideals, and we simply will not do this. Sure, we care about
2041: getting devices working, but not at the expense of our original goals.
2042: <p>
2043: Of course since "free to share with anyone" is part of our goals,
2044: we've been at the forefront of many licensing and NDA issues,
1.91 merdely 2045: resulting in a good number of successes. This success had led to much
1.90 deraadt 2046: recognition for the advancement of Free Software causes, but has also
2047: led to other issues.
2048: <p>
2049: We fully admit that some BSD licensed software has been taken and used
2050: by many commercial entities, but contributions come back more often
2051: than people seem to know, and when they do, they're always still
2052: properly attributed to the original authors, and given back in the
2053: same spirit that they were given in the first place.
2054: <p>
2055: That's the best we can expect from companies. After all, we make our
2056: stuff so free so that everyone can benefit -- it remains a core goal;
2057: we really have not strayed at all in 10 years. But we can expect more
2058: from projects who talk about sharing -- such as the various Linux
2059: projects.
2060: <p>
2061: Now rather than seeing us as friends who can cooperatively improve all
2062: codebases, we are seen as foes who oppose the GPL. The participants
2063: of "the race" are being manipulated by the FSF and their legal arm, the
2064: SFLC, for the FSF's aims, rather than the goal of getting good source
2065: into Linux (and all other code bases). We don't want this to come off
2066: as some conspiracy theory, but we simply urge those developers caution
2067: -- they should ensure that the path they are being shown by those who
2068: have positioned themselves as leaders is still true. Run for yourself,
2069: not for their agenda.
2070: <p>
2071: The Race is there to be run, for ourselves, not for others. We do
2072: what we do to run our own race, and finish it the best we can. We
2073: don't rush off at every distraction, or worry how this will affect our
2074: image. We are here to have fun doing right.

2175: As developers of a free operating system, one of our prime responsibilities
2176: is device support. No matter how nice an operating system is, it remains
2177: useless and unusable without solid support for a wide percentage of the
2178: hardware that is available on the market. It is therefore rather unsurprising
2179: that more than half of our efforts focus on various aspects relating to
2180: device support.
2181: <p>
1.85 mbalmer 2182: Most parts of the operating system (from low kernel, through to libraries,
1.81 deraadt 2183: all the way up to X, and then even to applications) use fairly obvious
2184: interface layers, where the "communication protocols" or "argument passing"
2185: mechanisms (ie. APIs) can be understood by any developer who takes the
2186: time to read the free code. Device drivers pose an additional and significant
2187: challenge though: because many vendors refuse to document the exact behavior
2188: of their devices. The devices are black boxes. And often they are surprisingly
2189: weird, or even buggy.
2190: <p>
2191: When vendor documentation does not exist, the development process can
2192: become extremely hairy. Groups of developers have found themselves focused
2193: for months at a time, figuring out the most simple steps, simply because
2194: the hardware is a complete mystery. Access to documentation can ease
2195: these difficulties rapidly. However, getting access to the chip documentation
2196: from vendors is ... almost always a negotiation. If we had open access to
1.84 matthieu 2197: documentation, anyone would be able to see how simple all these devices
1.81 deraadt 2198: actually are, and device driver development would flourish (and not just in
2199: OpenBSD, either).
2200: <p>
2201: When we proceed into negotiations with vendors, asking for documentation,
2202: our position is often weak. One would assume that the modern market is fair,
2203: and that selling chips would be the primary focus of these vendors. But
2204: unfortunately a number of behemoth software vendors have spent the last 10 or
2205: 20 years building

1.81 deraadt 2207: political hurdles against the smaller players</a>.
2208: <p>
1.82 jsg 2209: A particularly nasty player in this regard has been the Linux vendors and
1.87 tom 2210: some Linux developers, who have played along with an American corporate model
1.81 deraadt 2211: of requiring NDAs for chip documentation. This has effectively put Linux
2212: into the club with Microsoft, but has left all the other operating system
2213: communities -- and their developers -- with much less available clout for
2214: requesting documentation. In a more fair world, the Linux vendors would
2215: work with us, and the device driver support in all free operating systems
2216: would be fantastic by now.

2226: Here's an old story ...<br>
2227: <br>
2228: <br>
2229: Puffy Baba and the 40 Vendors<br>
2230: We all know the details<br>
2231: Magic cave, magic words, some thieves,<br>
2232: some serious loot,<br>
2233: and lucky - Mister - Baba<br>
2234: Who got a bad rap if you ask me<br>
2235: The little guy who<br>
2236: did the best with what he had<br>
2237: <br>
2238: <br>
2239: Here are Mr. Baba's lessons<br>
2240: Load one ass, take a few trips and spend<br>
2241: in moderation<br>
2242: Three things the average man can't - get - right<br>
2243: <br>
2244: <br>
2245: If you know your brother is a greedy bastard<br>
2246: never give him the password<br>
2247: If he goes penguin on you,<br>
2248: stop - being - his brother.<br>
2249: When a cave is guarded by magic lawyers<br>
1.86 tom 2250: A sea of blood will be its doormat<br>
1.81 deraadt 2251: So do the best with what you have<br>
2252: <br>
2253: <br>
2254: Beyond the lessons - you must know this<br>
2255: that the Devil is as real as your address<br>
2256: But unlike Vendors,<br>
2257: he at least keeps the door open<br>
2258: <br>
2259: <br>
2260: Vendors of water that should be free<br>
2261: Look upon their words and despair<br>
2262: Their badvertising made a thief of my brother<br>
2263: then made him better off dead<br>
2264: Now he hasn't got shit to do his best with<br>
2265: <br>
2266: <br>
2267: Gratis. Free. Libre. Cuffo.<br>
2268: The companies of thieves stole every good adjective<br>
2269: and left us with open source (sores)<br>
2270: sharing smaller and smaller bandages<br>
2271: for each consecutive cut<br>
2272: But with the salty water of labour<br>
2273: parched desert becomes pregnant black soil<br>
2274: <br>
2275: <br>
2276: It's not whether you're well off<br>
2277: it's where you dig the well<br>
2278: The best the little guy can do is what<br>
2279: the little guy does right<br>

2602: This release, like every OpenBSD release, contains OpenBSD and its
2603: source code. It runs on a wide variety of hardware. It contains many
2604: new features and improvements. OpenBSD does attempt to convince
2605: vendors to release documentation, and often reverse-engineers around
2606: the need for blobs. OpenBSD remains blob-free. Anyone can look at it,
1.157 deraadt 2607: assess it, improve it. If it breaks, it can be fixed.

2746: For a multitude of (stupid) reasons, vendors often attempt to lock
2747: out our participation with their customers by refusing to give our
2748: programmers sufficient documentation so that we can properly support
2749: their devices.
2750: <p>
2751: Take Adaptec for instance. Before the 3.7 release we disabled support
2752: for the
1.168 sthen 2753: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=aac&sektion=4">aac(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 2754: Adaptec RAID driver because negotiations with the Adaptec had failed.
2755: They refused to give us documentation. Without documentation, support
2756: for their controller had always been poor. The driver had bugs (which
2757: affected some users more than others) which caused crashes, and of
2758: course there was no RAID management support. Apparently most of these
1.59 jolan 2759: bugs are because the Adaptec controllers have numerous buggy firmware
2760: issues which require careful workarounds; without documentation we
2761: cannot solve these issues.
1.58 deraadt 2762: <p>
2763: The driver was written by an OpenBSD developer, who cribbed parts
2764: of it from a FreeBSD driver written by an ex-Adaptec employee. But no
2765: public documentation exists, and Adaptec has dozens of cards with
2766: different firmware issues. All of this adds up to a very desperate
2767: development model -- it becomes very hard for the principle of
2768: "quality" to show its head.
2769: <p>
2770: RAID devices have two main qualities that people buy them for:
2771: <br>
2772: <ul>
1.60 pvalchev 2773: <li>Redundancy
1.58 deraadt 2774: <li>Repair
2775: </ul>
2776: You want a RAID unit to provide you with redundancy, so that if some drives
1.60 pvalchev 2777: fail, your data is not lost. But once a drive has failed, you require your
2778: array to (automatically, most likely) perform the operations to repair
1.58 deraadt 2779: itself, so that it is functioning perfectly again.
2780: <p>
2781: Some vendors (or like the above Adaptec case, ex-employee) have
2782: sometimes given us some documentation so that we could write drivers,
2783: so that their devices could support Redundancy. But these vendors have
2784: never given us any documentation for performing Repairs.
2785: <p>
2786: Instead these vendors have tried to pass out non-free RAID management
2787: tools. These are typically gigantic Linux binaries, or some crazy thing, that
1.67 jolan 2788: is supposed to work through a bizarre interface in the device driver, which
1.58 deraadt 2789: we are apparently supposed to write code for without any documentation.
2790: <p>
2791: And since we refuse to accept our users being forced into depending on
2792: vendor binaries, we have reverse engineered the management interface for
2793: the AMI controllers.
2794: <p>
2795: There is no great "intellectual property" in this stuff, it is all
2796: rather simple primitives. This is all that we need to implement
2797: basic RAID management:
2798: <ul>
2799: <li>SCSI transactions on the back-side busses
2800: <li>Discovering which drives are in which volumes
2801: <li>Being able to silence the buzzer
2802: <li>Marking a new drive as a Hot-Spare
2803: </ul>
2804: <p>
2805: The AMI driver needed to support these small primitive operations.
2806: And once we had that, we rely on something else which we know: Almost
2807: all the RAID controllers would need the same primitives.
2808: <p>
2809: Thus armed, we were able to write a generic framework which would later
2810: work on other vendors' RAID cards, that is, once we get documentation
2811: or do some reverse engineering for their products.
2812: <p>
1.60 pvalchev 2813: But having been ignored for so long by these vendors, it is not clear when (if
2814: ever) we will get around to writing that support for Adaptec RAID
1.58 deraadt 2815: controllers now. And Adaptec has gone and bought ICP Vortex, which
2816: may mean we can never get documentation for the
1.168 sthen 2817: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=gdt&sektion=4">gdt(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 2818: controllers.
2819: The "Open Source Friendly liar" IBM owns Mylex, and Mylex has told us we
2820: would not get documentation, either.
2821: 3Ware has lied to us and our users so many times they make politicians
2822: look saintly.
2823: <p>
2824: Until other vendors give us documentation, if you want reliable RAID
2825: in OpenBSD, please buy
2826: <a href="http://www.lsilogic.com/products/megaraid/index.html">LSI/AMI</a>
2827: RAID cards. And everything

2922: For an operating system to get anywhere in "the market" it must have
2923: good device support.<br>
2924: <br>
2925: Ethernet was our first concern. Many vendors refused to supply
2926: programmers with programming documentation for these chipsets. Donald
2927: Becker (Linux) and Bill Paul (FreeBSD) changed the rules of the game
2928: here: They wrote drivers for the chipsets that they could get
2929: documentation for, and as they succeeded in writing more and more
2930: drivers, eventually closed vendors slowly opened up until most
2931: ethernet chipset documentation was available. Today, some vendors
2932: still resist releasing ethernet chipset documentation (ie. Broadcom,
1.62 brad 2933: Intel, Marvell/SysKonnect, NVIDIA) but the driver problem is mostly
1.46 henning 2934: solved in the ethernet market.<br>
1.44 deraadt 2935: <br>
2936: Similar problems have happened in the SCSI, IDE, and RAID markets.
2937: Again, the problem was solved by writing drivers for documented
2938: devices first. If the free software user communities use those drivers
2939: preferentially, it is a market loss for the secretive vendors.
2940: Another approach that has worked is to publish email addresses and
2941: phone numbers for the marketing department managers in these
2942: companies. These email campaigns have worked almost every time.<br>
2943: <br>
2944: The new frontier: 802.11 wireless chipsets.<br>
2945: <br>
2946: Over the last six months, this came to a head in the OpenBSD project.
2947: We asked our users to help us petition numerous vendors so that we
2948: could get chipset documentation or redistributable firmware. Certainly, we did
1.52 deraadt 2949: not succeed for some vendors. But we did influence some vendors, in
1.44 deraadt 2950: particular the Taiwanese (Ralink and Realtek), who have given us
2951: everything we need. We also reverse engineered the Atheros chipsets.<br>
2952: <br>
2953:
2954: Want to help us? Avoid
1.168 sthen 2955: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=ipw">Intel Centrino</a>,
1.44 deraadt 2956: Broadcom, TI, or Connexant PrismGT chipsets.
2957: Heck, avoid buying even regular
1.168 sthen 2958: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=wi">old pre-G Prism products</a>,

1.44 deraadt 2968: <br>

2970: Send a message that open support for hardware matters. A vendor in
1.56 cloder 2971: Redmond largely continues their practices because they get
1.44 deraadt 2972: the chipset documentation years before everyone else does.
2973: What really upsets us the most is that some Linux vendors are signing
2974: Non-Disclosure Agreements with vendors, or contracts that let them

3081: What is up with some free software providers?!
3082: They say "Here's something free! Oh wait, I changed my mind."
3083: <p>
3084: While not exactly bait-and-switch, this is something which
3085: has been causing the community continual grief, and therefore
3086: we decided to honour a few of the projects that have decided
1.41 deraadt 3087: to go non-free. After all.. having gone non-free, no one is
1.37 deraadt 3088: going to remember them in the end.
3089: <p>
3090: This song is dedicated to a few worthy groups who
3091: have made this Free-to-Non-Free transition with their
3092: offerings in the last few years:
3093: <ul>
3094: <li>David Dawes worked for years with a team of
3095: developers to make a free X11 distribution for us to use,
3096: called XFree86, 98% of which was based on entirely free
3097: code from MIT. Suddenly, one day, he decided that
3098: we must give him more credit (ie. advertise his name) or
3099: stop using it. Within about 4 months every project had
3100: told him to get stuffed, and the community has created a
3101: replacement effort.
1.41 deraadt 3102: Now his team cannot even keep their web pages up to date...
1.37 deraadt 3103: <p>
3104: <li>OpenBSD was the first operating system to integrate a
3105: packet filter, and it was the ipf codebase from Darren Reed
3106: that we chose. But a few years later he told us that we
3107: were not free to make changes to the code. So we deleted ipf,
3108: and our new packet filter far exceeds the capabilities of the
3109: one he wrote. And other projects are switching too...
3110: <p>
3111: <li>The Apache group started from the humble beginnings
3112: of just being 'a patchy' set of changes to a completely free
3113: web server of dubious quality. But the years have changed them,
3114: and what they supply is now quite non-free... released under
1.40 jolan 3115: a license so entangled in legalese that we have absolutely no
1.51 jcs 3116: doubt that there are encumbrances hidden within. Legal terms
1.37 deraadt 3117: protect. Who are they protecting? Not your freedom.
3118: </ul>
3119: So here's a goodbye to those three groups, and a warning to any
3120: others who will follow them:
3121: Make your stuff non-free, and something else will
3122: replace it.

3244: A common theme used by the comedy crew Monty Python was to emphasize
3245: and exaggerate ridiculousnesses that their target had imposed upon
3246: themselves. Few things could be considered as humorous as making a
3247: redundancy protocol... redundant; e.g. being forced to replace it by
3248: Cisco lawyers and IETF policy.
3249: <p>
3250: We've been working a few years now on our packet filtering software
1.168 sthen 3251: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>
1.30 deraadt 3252: and it became time to add failover. We want to be able to set up pf
3253: firewalls side by side, and exchange the stateful information between
3254: them, so that in case of failure another could take over 'keep state'
3255: sessions. Our
1.168 sthen 3256: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>
1.30 deraadt 3257: protocol solves this problem. However, on both sides of the firewall,
3258: it is also necessary to have all the regular hosts not see a
3259: network failure. The only reliable way to do this is for both
3260: firewall machines to have and use the same IP and MAC addresses. But
3261: the only real way to do that is to use multicast protocols.
3262: <p>
3263: The IETF community proposed work in this direction in the late
3264: 90's, however in 1997 Cisco informed them that they believed some of
3265: Cisco's patents covered the proposed IETF VRRP (Virtual Router
3266: Redundancy Protocol); on
3267: <a href="http://www.ietf.org/ietf/IPR/VRRP-CISCO">
3268: March 20, 1998 they went further and specifically named their HSRP
3269: "Hot Standby Router Protocol" patent</a>. Reputedly, they were upset
3270: that IETF had not simply adopted the flawed HSRP protocol as the
3271: standard solution for this problem. Despite this legal pressure, the
3272: IETF community forged ahead and published VRRP as a standard even
3273: though there was a patent in the space. Why?
1.144 deraadt 3274: <a href="http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/doc/ietf/vrrp/vrrp-minutes-97dec.txt">
1.30 deraadt 3275: There was much deliberation</a>
3276: at all levels of the IETF, and unfortunately for all of us the
3277: politicians within eventually decided to allow patented technology in
3278: standards -- as long as the patented technology is licensed under RAND
3279: (Reasonable And Non Discriminatory) terms. As free software
3280: programmers, we therefore find ourselves in the position that these
3281: RAND standards must not be implemented by us, and we must deviate from
3282: the standard. We find all this rather Unreasonable and Discriminatory
3283: and we *will* design competing protocols. Some standards organization,
3284: eh?
3285: <p>
3286: Due to some HSRP flaws fixed by VRRP and for compatibility with the
3287: (HSRP-licensed) VRRP implementations of their competitors, Cisco in
3288: recent times has largely abandoned HSRP and now relies on VRRP instead
3289: -- a protocol designed for and by the community, but for which they
3290: claim patent rights.
3291: <p>
3292: On August 7 2002, after many communications, Robert Barr (Cisco's
3293: lawyer) firmly informed the OpenBSD community that Cisco would defend
3294: its patents for VRRP implementations -- meaning basically that it was
3295: impossible for a free software group to produce a truly free
3296: implementation of the IETF standard protocol. Perhaps this is because
3297: Cisco and Alcatel are currently engaged in a pair of patent lawsuits; a
3298: small piece of which is Cisco attempting to use the HSRP patent
3299: against Alcatel for their use of VRRP. Some IETF working group
3300: members took note of our complaints,
1.122 deraadt 3301: <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20061109082106/http://lists.microshaft.org/pipermail/dmca_discuss/2003-April/004702.html">
1.30 deraadt 3302: however an attempt in April 2003 to have the IETF abandon the use of
3303: patented technology failed to "reach consensus" in the IETF</a>.
3304: <p>
3305: A few years ago, the W3C, who designs our web protocols, tried to move
3306: to a RAND policy as well (primarily because of pressure from Microsoft
3307: and Apple), but the community outrage was so overpowering that they
3308: backed down. Some standards groups use this policy, while others
3309: avoid it -- the one differentiation being the amount of corporate
1.55 tom 3310: participation. In the IETF, the pro-RAND agents work for AT&T,
1.30 deraadt 3311: Alcatel, IBM, Cisco, Microsoft, and other large companies. Since IETF
3312: is an open forum, they can blend in as the populace, and vote just
3313: like all others, except against the community.
3314: <p>
3315: Translation: In failing to "reach consensus", the companies who
3316: benefit from RAND won, and the community lost again.
3317: <p>
3318: Left with little choice, we proceeded to reinvent the wheel or, more
3319: correctly, abandon the wheel entirely and go for a "hovercraft". We
3320: designed CARP (Common Address Redundancy Protocol) to solve the same
3321: problem that these other protocols are designed for, but without the
3322: same technological basis as HSRP and VRRP. We read the patent
3323: document carefully and ensured that CARP was fundamentally different.
3324: We also avoided many of the flaws in HSRP and VRRP (such as an inherent
3325: lack of security). And since we are OpenBSD developers, we designed
3326: it to use cryptography.
3327: <p>
3328: The combination of
1.168 sthen 3329: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>,
3330: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>, and
3331: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=carp&sektion=4">carp(4)</a>
1.30 deraadt 3332: has permitted us to build highly redundant firewalls. To date, we
3333: have built a few networks that include as many as 4 firewalls, all
3334: running random reboot cycles. As long as one firewall is alive in a
3335: group, traffic through them moves smoothly and correctly for all of
3336: our packet filter functionality. Cisco's low end products are unable
3337: to do this reliably, and if they have high end products which can do
3338: this, you most certainly cannot afford them.
3339: <p>
3340: As a final note of course, when we petitioned IANA, the IETF body
3341: regulating "official" internet protocol numbers, to give us numbers
3342: for CARP and pfsync our request was denied. Apparently we had failed
3343: to go through an official standards organization. Consequently we
3344: were forced to choose a protocol number which would not conflict with
3345: anything else of value, and decided to place CARP at IP protocol 112.
3346: We also placed pfsync at an open and unused number. We informed IANA of
3347: these decisions, but they declined to reply.
3348: <p>
3349: This ridiculous situation then inspired one of our developers to create
3350: this parody of the well-known Monty Python skit and song.

3638: Join Puffy Hood and his Funny Fish as they take on
1.26 deraadt 3639: the Sheriff (an unelected leader) and other evil
1.20 deraadt 3640: forces of the draconian government!
3641: <p>
3642: <br>
3643: As we did for the 3.3 release, we have once again tried
3644: making release artwork and music which are allegorical
3645: of recent happenings.
3646: <p>
3647: Two years ago we became involved with the University
3648: of Pennsylvania and DARPA, who were funding us to do
3649: security research and development .. on things that
3650: we were already intending to do. We provided ideas,
3651: wrote papers, and deployed cutting-edge technology;
3652: DARPA provided finances and reaped a share of the
3653: credit, and the University of Pennsylvania acted as
3654: a middle-man. We accepted funding based on the
3655: promise that our freedom to operate as we wished
3656: was unaffected. To us, freedom is more important
1.21 deraadt 3657: than funding -- heck, we were dealing with the evil
1.20 deraadt 3658: forces of government, and needed to be careful.
3659: <p>
3660: A few months prior to this release, DARPA suddenly
3661: and without warning decided to withdraw that funding;
3662: they also aggressively backed out of contractual
3663: obligations. Many articles in the <a href=press.html>press</a> followed regarding
1.67 jolan 3664: this sudden maneuver. Apparently this hoopla happened
1.20 deraadt 3665: because an OpenBSD-related article in the Canadian
1.55 tom 3666: newspaper The Globe & Mail had quoted Theo de Raadt
1.20 deraadt 3667: making anti-war statements regarding Iraq and the
3668: theft of oil.
3669: <p>
3670: The only answer given (to major media reporters) by a
3671: DARPA spokesperson (Jan Walker) was this:
3672: <p>
3673: "As a result of the DARPA review of the
3674: project, and due to world events and the evolving
3675: threat posed by increasingly capable nation-states,
3676: the Government on April 21 advised the University
3677: to suspend work on the "security fest" portion of
3678: the project."
3679: <p>
3680: That almost toes the line of calling us terrorists!
3681: We had lost financial support, but the release of the
3682: statement above suddenly made us very happy to be free
3683: of any perceived obligation to such crazy people.
3684: <p>
3685: Since the termination came near natural contract
3686: termination (about 4 months remained), less damage
3687: than expected was sustained by the project. Sponsors
3688: stepped forward and helped us make up the missing funds
3689: we needed to run our "Hackathon", and the event
1.61 grunk 3690: proceeded as planned. We even had T-shirts made with
1.20 deraadt 3691: "Workstations of Mass Development" artwork for those
3692: developers who attended (sorry, they are not for sale).
3693: <p>
3694: We could not make stories like this up. So instead,
3695: we are making up an allegory about it, using the tale
3696: of Robin Hood.
