25: Every 6 months the OpenBSD project has the pleasure to release
26: software on an official CDROM set, with artwork and a matching song.
1.139 deraadt 27: Theo and some other developers mutate a theme (from a classical
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.

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

702: <p>
1.146 guenther 703: In August of 2012, Philip Guenther started the OpenBSD work to
1.157 deraadt 704: solve this.
1.146 guenther 705: After a year of work it was ready enough for merging, and in August 2013
706: the <b>time_t</b> type was changed to int64_t on all
707: platforms and the kernel and userland were adapted to the new
708: situation. The initial work was committed right after OpenBSD 5.4,
709: then polished in tree over the next 6 months.
1.144 deraadt 710: <p>
711: The next part of the process was to drag the "ports" software
1.146 guenther 712: ecosystem along because no one else had paved the way for 32-bit
1.144 deraadt 713: machines to run with 64-bit <b>time_t</b>. This required a fair
714: bit of upstream involvement. Thousands of fixes were required to
715: make both 32-bit and 64-bit time work transparently. There will
716: be more fixing in the future, but the concept is proven.
717: <p>
718: In the past OpenBSD pushed risky theoretical ideas into mainstream
719: software practice by proving the ecosystem was ready to change.
720: No OS wants to make a ABI jump until the case for change is proven.
721: Stack protection, ASLR, and W^X principles are now in common use
722: by mainline operating systems... because things like Firefox
723: and Postgresql don't break anymore. OpenBSD built that route.
724: <p>
725: In the same way, the road is paved for the 64-bit <b>time_t</b>
726: transition. Other operating systems can now make this jump.

1.132 beck 896: Just as the original song professed its love for Brazil, "World,
897: you'll love my Linux" is the passionate call of an idealistic dreamer
898: who can't bear the thought of software that will only run under
899: Windows, and yet loves the situation with software that will only run
900: under particular Linux distributions.
901: <p>
902: This problem has proliferated itself into the standards bodies, with
903: Posix adopting Linuxisms ahead of any other variant of Unix.
904: <p>
905: Posix and Unix have made it where you can write reasonably portable
906: software and have it compile and run across a multitude of platforms.
1.157 deraadt 907: Now this seems to be changing as the love for Linux drives the
908: standards bodies into accepting everything Linux, good and bad.
1.132 beck 909: <p>
910: We also are faced with groups writing software that only works
911: with particular distributions of Linux. From this we get software that
912: not only isn't very portable, but often not particularly stable. Our
913: idealistic dreamer in the song loves running one, or more than one distribution
914: of Linux for a particular purpose. Unfortunately, the rest of us are left
915: with the unattractive choice of doing the same, or relying on
916: herculean efforts to port software that is being actively developed in a
1.157 deraadt 917: way to discourage porting it to other platforms.

1274: the previous major achievement of CSRG - BSD 4.2.<br>
1275: <br>
1276: BSD 4.2 was
1277: not free, but it created and integrated so many new
1278: technologies that we all depend on today. Take a moment

1696: Nearly 10 years ago Kirk McKusick wrote a history of
1697: the Berkeley Unix distributions for the
1.121 deraadt 1698: O'Reilly book "Open Sources: Voices from the Open Source Revolution".
1.104 deraadt 1699: We recommend you read his story, entitled
1700: <a href="http://oreilly.com/catalog/opensources/book/kirkmck.html">
1701: "Twenty Years of Berkeley Unix
1702: From AT&T-Owned to Freely Redistributable"</a>
1703: first, to see how Kirk remembers how we got here.
1704: Sadly, since it showed up in book form originally, this text has
1705: probably not been read by enough people.
1706: <br>
1707: <br>
1708: The USL(AT&T) vs BSDI/UCB court case settlement documents were
1709: not public until recently; their disclosure has made the facts more clear.
1710: But the story of how three people decided to free the BSD codebase
1711: of corporate pollution -- and release it freely -- is more interesting
1712: than the lawsuit which followed. Sure, a stupid lawsuit happened which
1713: hindered the acceptance of the BSD code during a critical period.
1714: But how did a bunch of guys go through the effort of replacing so
1715: much AT&T code in the first place? After all, companies had
1716: lots of really evil lawyers back then too -- were they not afraid?
1717: <br>
1718: <br>
1719: After a decade of development, most of the AT&T code had
1720: already been replaced by university researchers and their associates.
1721: So Keith Bostic, Mike Karels and Kirk McKusick (the main UCB CSRG group)
1722: started going through the 4.3BSD codebase to cleanse the rest.
1723: Keith, in particular, built a ragtag team (in those days, USENIX
1724: conferences were a gold mine for such team building) and led these
1725: rebels to rewrite and replace all the Imperial AT&T code, piece by
1726: piece, starting with the libraries and userland programs.
1727: Anyone who helped only got credit as a Contributor -- people like
1728: Chris Torek and a cast of .. hundreds more.
1729: <br>
1730: <br>
1.105 deraadt 1731: Then Mike and Kirk purified the kernel. After a bit more careful
1.104 deraadt 1732: checking, this led to the release of a clean tree called Net/2 which
1733: was given to the world in June 1991 -- the largest dump of free source
1734: code the world had ever received (for those days -- not modern monsters like OpenOffice).
1735: <br>
1736: <br>
1737: Some of these ragtags formed a company (BSDi) to sell a production system
1738: based on this free code base, and a year later Unix System Laboratories
1739: (basically AT&T) sued BSDi and UCB.
1740: Eventually AT&T lost and after a few trifling fixes (described in the
1741: lawsuit documents) the codebase was free. A few newer developments
1742: (and more free code) were added, and released in June 1994 as 4.4BSD-Lite.
1743: Just over 14 years later OpenBSD is releasing its own 4.4 release (and for
1744: a lot less than <a href=orders.html>$1000 per copy</a>).
1745: <br>
1746: <br>
1747: The OpenBSD 4.4 release is dedicated to Keith Bostic, Mike Karels, Kirk McKusick,
1748: and all of those who contributed to making Net/2 and 4.4BSD-Lite free.

1866: <br>
1867: <br>
1868: In 1998 when a United Airlines plane was waiting in the queue at
1.102 deraadt 1869: Washington Dulles International Airport for take-off to New Orleans
1870: (where a Usenix conference was taking place), one man stood up from
1871: his seat, demanded that they stop waiting in the queue and be permitted
1.95 deraadt 1872: to deplane. Even after orders from the crew and a pilot from
1873: the cockpit he refused to sit down. The plane exited the queue
1.96 deraadt 1874: and returned to the airport gangway. Security personnel ran onto
1.95 deraadt 1875: the plane and removed this man, Richard Stallman, from the plane.
1876: After Richard was removed from the plane, everyone else stayed
1877: onboard and continued their journey to New Orleans. A few
1878: OpenBSD developers were on that same plane, seated very closeby,
1879: so we have an accurate story of the events.
1880: <br>
1881: <br>
1882: This is the man who presumes that he should preach to us
1883: about morality, freedom, and what is best for us. He believes
1884: it is his God-given role to tell us what is best for us, when he
1885: has shown that he takes actions which are not best for everyone.
1886: He prefers actions which he thinks are best for him -- and him
1887: alone -- and then lies to the public. Richard Stallman is no Spock.
1888: <br>
1889: <br>
1890: We release our software in ways that are maximally free. We
1891: remove all restrictions on use and distribution, but leave a
1892: requirement to be known as the authors. We follow a pattern of
1893: free source code distribution that started in the mid-1980's
1894: in Berkeley, from before Richard Stallman had any powerful
1895: influence which he could use so falsely.
1896: <br>
1897: <br>
1898: We have a development sub-tree called "ports". Our "ports" tree
1899: builds software that is 'found on the net' into packages that
1900: OpenBSD users can use more easily. A scaffold of Makefiles and
1901: scripts automatically fetch these pieces of software, apply
1902: patches as required by OpenBSD, and then build them into nice
1903: neat little tarballs. This is provided as a convenience for
1.97 okan 1904: users. The ports tree is maintained by OpenBSD entirely separately
1.95 deraadt 1905: from our main source tree. Some of the software which is fetched
1906: and compiled is not as free as we would like, but what can we do.
1907: All the other operating system projects make exactly the same
1908: decision, and provide these same conveniences to their users.
1909: <br>
1910: <br>
1911: Richard felt that this "ports tree" of ours made OpenBSD non-free.
1912: He came to our mailing lists and lectured to us specifically, yet
1913: he said nothing to the many other vendors who do the same; many of
1914: them donate to the FSF and perhaps that has something to do with it.
1915: Meanwhile, Richard has personally made sure that all the official
1916: GNU software -- including Emacs -- compiles and runs on Windows.
1917: <br>
1918: <br>
1919: That man is a false leader. He is a hypocrite. There may be some
1920: people who listen to him. But we don't listen to people who do not
1921: follow their own stupid rules.

2019: Those of us who work on OpenBSD are often asked why we do what we do.
1.91 merdely 2020: This song's lyrics express the core motivations and goals which have
1.90 deraadt 2021: remained unchanged over the years - secure, free, reliable software,
2022: that can be shared with anyone. Many other projects purport to share
2023: these same goals, and love to wrap themselves in a banner of "Open
2024: Source" and "Free Software". Given how many projects there are one
2025: would think it might be easy to stick to those goals, but it doesn't
2026: seem to work out that way. A variety of desires drag many projects
2027: away from the ideals very quickly.
2028: <p>
1.93 jmc 2029: Much of any operating system's usability depends on device support,
1.91 merdely 2030: and there are some very tempting alternative ways to support devices
1.90 deraadt 2031: available to those who will surrender their moral code. A project
2032: could compromise by entering into NDA agreements with vendors, or
2033: including binary objects in the operating system for which no source
2034: code exists, or tying their users down with contract terms hidden
2035: inside copyright notices. All of these choices surrender some subset
2036: of the ideals, and we simply will not do this. Sure, we care about
2037: getting devices working, but not at the expense of our original goals.
2038: <p>
2039: Of course since "free to share with anyone" is part of our goals,
2040: we've been at the forefront of many licensing and NDA issues,
1.91 merdely 2041: resulting in a good number of successes. This success had led to much
1.90 deraadt 2042: recognition for the advancement of Free Software causes, but has also
2043: led to other issues.
2044: <p>
2045: We fully admit that some BSD licensed software has been taken and used
2046: by many commercial entities, but contributions come back more often
2047: than people seem to know, and when they do, they're always still
2048: properly attributed to the original authors, and given back in the
2049: same spirit that they were given in the first place.
2050: <p>
2051: That's the best we can expect from companies. After all, we make our
2052: stuff so free so that everyone can benefit -- it remains a core goal;
2053: we really have not strayed at all in 10 years. But we can expect more
2054: from projects who talk about sharing -- such as the various Linux
2055: projects.
2056: <p>
2057: Now rather than seeing us as friends who can cooperatively improve all
2058: codebases, we are seen as foes who oppose the GPL. The participants
2059: of "the race" are being manipulated by the FSF and their legal arm, the
2060: SFLC, for the FSF's aims, rather than the goal of getting good source
2061: into Linux (and all other code bases). We don't want this to come off
2062: as some conspiracy theory, but we simply urge those developers caution
2063: -- they should ensure that the path they are being shown by those who
2064: have positioned themselves as leaders is still true. Run for yourself,
2065: not for their agenda.
2066: <p>
2067: The Race is there to be run, for ourselves, not for others. We do
2068: what we do to run our own race, and finish it the best we can. We
2069: don't rush off at every distraction, or worry how this will affect our
2070: image. We are here to have fun doing right.

2171: As developers of a free operating system, one of our prime responsibilities
2172: is device support. No matter how nice an operating system is, it remains
2173: useless and unusable without solid support for a wide percentage of the
2174: hardware that is available on the market. It is therefore rather unsurprising
2175: that more than half of our efforts focus on various aspects relating to
2176: device support.
2177: <p>
1.85 mbalmer 2178: Most parts of the operating system (from low kernel, through to libraries,
1.81 deraadt 2179: all the way up to X, and then even to applications) use fairly obvious
2180: interface layers, where the "communication protocols" or "argument passing"
2181: mechanisms (ie. APIs) can be understood by any developer who takes the
2182: time to read the free code. Device drivers pose an additional and significant
2183: challenge though: because many vendors refuse to document the exact behavior
2184: of their devices. The devices are black boxes. And often they are surprisingly
2185: weird, or even buggy.
2186: <p>
2187: When vendor documentation does not exist, the development process can
2188: become extremely hairy. Groups of developers have found themselves focused
2189: for months at a time, figuring out the most simple steps, simply because
2190: the hardware is a complete mystery. Access to documentation can ease
2191: these difficulties rapidly. However, getting access to the chip documentation
2192: from vendors is ... almost always a negotiation. If we had open access to
1.84 matthieu 2193: documentation, anyone would be able to see how simple all these devices
1.81 deraadt 2194: actually are, and device driver development would flourish (and not just in
2195: OpenBSD, either).
2196: <p>
2197: When we proceed into negotiations with vendors, asking for documentation,
2198: our position is often weak. One would assume that the modern market is fair,
2199: and that selling chips would be the primary focus of these vendors. But
2200: unfortunately a number of behemoth software vendors have spent the last 10 or
2201: 20 years building

1.81 deraadt 2203: political hurdles against the smaller players</a>.
2204: <p>
1.82 jsg 2205: A particularly nasty player in this regard has been the Linux vendors and
1.87 tom 2206: some Linux developers, who have played along with an American corporate model
1.81 deraadt 2207: of requiring NDAs for chip documentation. This has effectively put Linux
2208: into the club with Microsoft, but has left all the other operating system
2209: communities -- and their developers -- with much less available clout for
2210: requesting documentation. In a more fair world, the Linux vendors would
2211: work with us, and the device driver support in all free operating systems
2212: would be fantastic by now.

2223: <br>
2224: <br>
2225: Puffy Baba and the 40 Vendors<br>
2226: We all know the details<br>
2227: Magic cave, magic words, some thieves,<br>
2228: some serious loot,<br>
2229: and lucky - Mister - Baba<br>
2230: Who got a bad rap if you ask me<br>
2231: The little guy who<br>
2232: did the best with what he had<br>
2233: <br>
2234: <br>
2235: Here are Mr. Baba's lessons<br>
2236: Load one ass, take a few trips and spend<br>
2237: in moderation<br>
2238: Three things the average man can't - get - right<br>
2239: <br>
2240: <br>
2241: If you know your brother is a greedy bastard<br>
2242: never give him the password<br>
2243: If he goes penguin on you,<br>
2244: stop - being - his brother.<br>
2245: When a cave is guarded by magic lawyers<br>
1.86 tom 2246: A sea of blood will be its doormat<br>
1.81 deraadt 2247: So do the best with what you have<br>
2248: <br>
2249: <br>
2250: Beyond the lessons - you must know this<br>
2251: that the Devil is as real as your address<br>
2252: But unlike Vendors,<br>
2253: he at least keeps the door open<br>
2254: <br>
2255: <br>
2256: Vendors of water that should be free<br>
2257: Look upon their words and despair<br>
2258: Their badvertising made a thief of my brother<br>
2259: then made him better off dead<br>
2260: Now he hasn't got shit to do his best with<br>
2261: <br>
2262: <br>
2263: Gratis. Free. Libre. Cuffo.<br>
2264: The companies of thieves stole every good adjective<br>
2265: and left us with open source (sores)<br>
2266: sharing smaller and smaller bandages<br>
2267: for each consecutive cut<br>
2268: But with the salty water of labour<br>
2269: parched desert becomes pregnant black soil<br>
2270: <br>
2271: <br>
2272: It's not whether you're well off<br>

2600: new features and improvements. OpenBSD does attempt to convince
2601: vendors to release documentation, and often reverse-engineers around
2602: the need for blobs. OpenBSD remains blob-free. Anyone can look at it,
1.157 deraadt 2603: assess it, improve it. If it breaks, it can be fixed.

2742: For a multitude of (stupid) reasons, vendors often attempt to lock
2743: out our participation with their customers by refusing to give our
2744: programmers sufficient documentation so that we can properly support
2745: their devices.
2746: <p>
2747: Take Adaptec for instance. Before the 3.7 release we disabled support
2748: for the
1.168 sthen 2749: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=aac&sektion=4">aac(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 2750: Adaptec RAID driver because negotiations with the Adaptec had failed.
2751: They refused to give us documentation. Without documentation, support
2752: for their controller had always been poor. The driver had bugs (which
2753: affected some users more than others) which caused crashes, and of
2754: course there was no RAID management support. Apparently most of these
1.59 jolan 2755: bugs are because the Adaptec controllers have numerous buggy firmware
2756: issues which require careful workarounds; without documentation we
2757: cannot solve these issues.
1.58 deraadt 2758: <p>
2759: The driver was written by an OpenBSD developer, who cribbed parts
2760: of it from a FreeBSD driver written by an ex-Adaptec employee. But no
2761: public documentation exists, and Adaptec has dozens of cards with
2762: different firmware issues. All of this adds up to a very desperate
2763: development model -- it becomes very hard for the principle of
2764: "quality" to show its head.
2765: <p>
2766: RAID devices have two main qualities that people buy them for:
2767: <br>
2768: <ul>
1.60 pvalchev 2769: <li>Redundancy
1.58 deraadt 2770: <li>Repair
2771: </ul>
2772: You want a RAID unit to provide you with redundancy, so that if some drives
1.60 pvalchev 2773: fail, your data is not lost. But once a drive has failed, you require your
2774: array to (automatically, most likely) perform the operations to repair
1.58 deraadt 2775: itself, so that it is functioning perfectly again.
2776: <p>
2777: Some vendors (or like the above Adaptec case, ex-employee) have
2778: sometimes given us some documentation so that we could write drivers,
2779: so that their devices could support Redundancy. But these vendors have
2780: never given us any documentation for performing Repairs.
2781: <p>
2782: Instead these vendors have tried to pass out non-free RAID management
2783: tools. These are typically gigantic Linux binaries, or some crazy thing, that
1.67 jolan 2784: is supposed to work through a bizarre interface in the device driver, which
1.58 deraadt 2785: we are apparently supposed to write code for without any documentation.
2786: <p>
2787: And since we refuse to accept our users being forced into depending on
2788: vendor binaries, we have reverse engineered the management interface for
2789: the AMI controllers.
2790: <p>
2791: There is no great "intellectual property" in this stuff, it is all
2792: rather simple primitives. This is all that we need to implement
2793: basic RAID management:
2794: <ul>
2795: <li>SCSI transactions on the back-side busses
2796: <li>Discovering which drives are in which volumes
2797: <li>Being able to silence the buzzer
2798: <li>Marking a new drive as a Hot-Spare
2799: </ul>
2800: <p>
2801: The AMI driver needed to support these small primitive operations.
2802: And once we had that, we rely on something else which we know: Almost
2803: all the RAID controllers would need the same primitives.
2804: <p>
2805: Thus armed, we were able to write a generic framework which would later
2806: work on other vendors' RAID cards, that is, once we get documentation
2807: or do some reverse engineering for their products.
2808: <p>
1.60 pvalchev 2809: But having been ignored for so long by these vendors, it is not clear when (if
2810: ever) we will get around to writing that support for Adaptec RAID
1.58 deraadt 2811: controllers now. And Adaptec has gone and bought ICP Vortex, which
2812: may mean we can never get documentation for the
1.168 sthen 2813: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=gdt&sektion=4">gdt(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 2814: controllers.
2815: The "Open Source Friendly liar" IBM owns Mylex, and Mylex has told us we
2816: would not get documentation, either.
2817: 3Ware has lied to us and our users so many times they make politicians
2818: look saintly.
2819: <p>
2820: Until other vendors give us documentation, if you want reliable RAID
2821: in OpenBSD, please buy
2822: <a href="http://www.lsilogic.com/products/megaraid/index.html">LSI/AMI</a>
2823: RAID cards. And everything

2827: And keep pestering the other vendors.

2918: For an operating system to get anywhere in "the market" it must have
2919: good device support.<br>
2920: <br>
2921: Ethernet was our first concern. Many vendors refused to supply
2922: programmers with programming documentation for these chipsets. Donald
2923: Becker (Linux) and Bill Paul (FreeBSD) changed the rules of the game
2924: here: They wrote drivers for the chipsets that they could get
2925: documentation for, and as they succeeded in writing more and more
2926: drivers, eventually closed vendors slowly opened up until most
2927: ethernet chipset documentation was available. Today, some vendors
2928: still resist releasing ethernet chipset documentation (ie. Broadcom,
1.62 brad 2929: Intel, Marvell/SysKonnect, NVIDIA) but the driver problem is mostly
1.46 henning 2930: solved in the ethernet market.<br>
1.44 deraadt 2931: <br>
2932: Similar problems have happened in the SCSI, IDE, and RAID markets.
2933: Again, the problem was solved by writing drivers for documented
2934: devices first. If the free software user communities use those drivers
2935: preferentially, it is a market loss for the secretive vendors.
2936: Another approach that has worked is to publish email addresses and
2937: phone numbers for the marketing department managers in these
2938: companies. These email campaigns have worked almost every time.<br>
2939: <br>
2940: The new frontier: 802.11 wireless chipsets.<br>
2941: <br>
2942: Over the last six months, this came to a head in the OpenBSD project.
2943: We asked our users to help us petition numerous vendors so that we
2944: could get chipset documentation or redistributable firmware. Certainly, we did
1.52 deraadt 2945: not succeed for some vendors. But we did influence some vendors, in
1.44 deraadt 2946: particular the Taiwanese (Ralink and Realtek), who have given us
2947: everything we need. We also reverse engineered the Atheros chipsets.<br>
2948: <br>
2949:
2950: Want to help us? Avoid
1.168 sthen 2951: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=ipw">Intel Centrino</a>,
1.44 deraadt 2952: Broadcom, TI, or Connexant PrismGT chipsets.
2953: Heck, avoid buying even regular
1.168 sthen 2954: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=wi">old pre-G Prism products</a>,
1.44 deraadt 2955: to send a message.

1.44 deraadt 2964: <br>

2966: Send a message that open support for hardware matters. A vendor in
1.56 cloder 2967: Redmond largely continues their practices because they get
1.44 deraadt 2968: the chipset documentation years before everyone else does.
2969: What really upsets us the most is that some Linux vendors are signing
2970: Non-Disclosure Agreements with vendors, or contracts that let them
2971: distribute firmwares. Meanwhile both Linux and FSF head developers
1.49 nick 2972: are not asking their communities to help us in our efforts to free

3077: What is up with some free software providers?!
3078: They say "Here's something free! Oh wait, I changed my mind."
3079: <p>
3080: While not exactly bait-and-switch, this is something which
3081: has been causing the community continual grief, and therefore
3082: we decided to honour a few of the projects that have decided
1.41 deraadt 3083: to go non-free. After all.. having gone non-free, no one is
1.37 deraadt 3084: going to remember them in the end.
3085: <p>
3086: This song is dedicated to a few worthy groups who
3087: have made this Free-to-Non-Free transition with their
3088: offerings in the last few years:
3089: <ul>
3090: <li>David Dawes worked for years with a team of
3091: developers to make a free X11 distribution for us to use,
3092: called XFree86, 98% of which was based on entirely free
3093: code from MIT. Suddenly, one day, he decided that
3094: we must give him more credit (ie. advertise his name) or
3095: stop using it. Within about 4 months every project had
3096: told him to get stuffed, and the community has created a
3097: replacement effort.
1.41 deraadt 3098: Now his team cannot even keep their web pages up to date...
1.37 deraadt 3099: <p>
3100: <li>OpenBSD was the first operating system to integrate a
3101: packet filter, and it was the ipf codebase from Darren Reed
3102: that we chose. But a few years later he told us that we
3103: were not free to make changes to the code. So we deleted ipf,
3104: and our new packet filter far exceeds the capabilities of the
3105: one he wrote. And other projects are switching too...
3106: <p>
3107: <li>The Apache group started from the humble beginnings
3108: of just being 'a patchy' set of changes to a completely free
3109: web server of dubious quality. But the years have changed them,
3110: and what they supply is now quite non-free... released under
1.40 jolan 3111: a license so entangled in legalese that we have absolutely no
1.51 jcs 3112: doubt that there are encumbrances hidden within. Legal terms
1.37 deraadt 3113: protect. Who are they protecting? Not your freedom.
3114: </ul>
3115: So here's a goodbye to those three groups, and a warning to any
3116: others who will follow them:
3117: Make your stuff non-free, and something else will
3118: replace it.

3240: A common theme used by the comedy crew Monty Python was to emphasize
3241: and exaggerate ridiculousnesses that their target had imposed upon
3242: themselves. Few things could be considered as humorous as making a
3243: redundancy protocol... redundant; e.g. being forced to replace it by
3244: Cisco lawyers and IETF policy.
3245: <p>
3246: We've been working a few years now on our packet filtering software
1.168 sthen 3247: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>
1.30 deraadt 3248: and it became time to add failover. We want to be able to set up pf
3249: firewalls side by side, and exchange the stateful information between
3250: them, so that in case of failure another could take over 'keep state'
3251: sessions. Our
1.168 sthen 3252: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>
1.30 deraadt 3253: protocol solves this problem. However, on both sides of the firewall,
3254: it is also necessary to have all the regular hosts not see a
3255: network failure. The only reliable way to do this is for both
3256: firewall machines to have and use the same IP and MAC addresses. But
3257: the only real way to do that is to use multicast protocols.
3258: <p>
3259: The IETF community proposed work in this direction in the late
3260: 90's, however in 1997 Cisco informed them that they believed some of
3261: Cisco's patents covered the proposed IETF VRRP (Virtual Router
3262: Redundancy Protocol); on
3263: <a href="http://www.ietf.org/ietf/IPR/VRRP-CISCO">
3264: March 20, 1998 they went further and specifically named their HSRP
3265: "Hot Standby Router Protocol" patent</a>. Reputedly, they were upset
3266: that IETF had not simply adopted the flawed HSRP protocol as the
3267: standard solution for this problem. Despite this legal pressure, the
3268: IETF community forged ahead and published VRRP as a standard even
3269: though there was a patent in the space. Why?
1.144 deraadt 3270: <a href="http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/doc/ietf/vrrp/vrrp-minutes-97dec.txt">
1.30 deraadt 3271: There was much deliberation</a>
3272: at all levels of the IETF, and unfortunately for all of us the
3273: politicians within eventually decided to allow patented technology in
3274: standards -- as long as the patented technology is licensed under RAND
3275: (Reasonable And Non Discriminatory) terms. As free software
3276: programmers, we therefore find ourselves in the position that these
3277: RAND standards must not be implemented by us, and we must deviate from
3278: the standard. We find all this rather Unreasonable and Discriminatory
3279: and we *will* design competing protocols. Some standards organization,
3280: eh?
3281: <p>
3282: Due to some HSRP flaws fixed by VRRP and for compatibility with the
3283: (HSRP-licensed) VRRP implementations of their competitors, Cisco in
3284: recent times has largely abandoned HSRP and now relies on VRRP instead
3285: -- a protocol designed for and by the community, but for which they
3286: claim patent rights.
3287: <p>
3288: On August 7 2002, after many communications, Robert Barr (Cisco's
3289: lawyer) firmly informed the OpenBSD community that Cisco would defend
3290: its patents for VRRP implementations -- meaning basically that it was
3291: impossible for a free software group to produce a truly free
3292: implementation of the IETF standard protocol. Perhaps this is because
3293: Cisco and Alcatel are currently engaged in a pair of patent lawsuits; a
3294: small piece of which is Cisco attempting to use the HSRP patent
3295: against Alcatel for their use of VRRP. Some IETF working group
3296: members took note of our complaints,
1.122 deraadt 3297: <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20061109082106/http://lists.microshaft.org/pipermail/dmca_discuss/2003-April/004702.html">
1.30 deraadt 3298: however an attempt in April 2003 to have the IETF abandon the use of
3299: patented technology failed to "reach consensus" in the IETF</a>.
3300: <p>
3301: A few years ago, the W3C, who designs our web protocols, tried to move
3302: to a RAND policy as well (primarily because of pressure from Microsoft
3303: and Apple), but the community outrage was so overpowering that they
3304: backed down. Some standards groups use this policy, while others
3305: avoid it -- the one differentiation being the amount of corporate
1.55 tom 3306: participation. In the IETF, the pro-RAND agents work for AT&T,
1.30 deraadt 3307: Alcatel, IBM, Cisco, Microsoft, and other large companies. Since IETF
3308: is an open forum, they can blend in as the populace, and vote just
3309: like all others, except against the community.
3310: <p>
3311: Translation: In failing to "reach consensus", the companies who
3312: benefit from RAND won, and the community lost again.
3313: <p>
3314: Left with little choice, we proceeded to reinvent the wheel or, more
3315: correctly, abandon the wheel entirely and go for a "hovercraft". We
3316: designed CARP (Common Address Redundancy Protocol) to solve the same
3317: problem that these other protocols are designed for, but without the
3318: same technological basis as HSRP and VRRP. We read the patent
3319: document carefully and ensured that CARP was fundamentally different.
3320: We also avoided many of the flaws in HSRP and VRRP (such as an inherent
3321: lack of security). And since we are OpenBSD developers, we designed
3322: it to use cryptography.
3323: <p>
3324: The combination of
1.168 sthen 3325: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>,
3326: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>, and
3327: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=carp&sektion=4">carp(4)</a>
1.30 deraadt 3328: has permitted us to build highly redundant firewalls. To date, we
3329: have built a few networks that include as many as 4 firewalls, all
3330: running random reboot cycles. As long as one firewall is alive in a
3331: group, traffic through them moves smoothly and correctly for all of
3332: our packet filter functionality. Cisco's low end products are unable
3333: to do this reliably, and if they have high end products which can do
3334: this, you most certainly cannot afford them.
3335: <p>
3336: As a final note of course, when we petitioned IANA, the IETF body
3337: regulating "official" internet protocol numbers, to give us numbers
3338: for CARP and pfsync our request was denied. Apparently we had failed
3339: to go through an official standards organization. Consequently we
3340: were forced to choose a protocol number which would not conflict with
3341: anything else of value, and decided to place CARP at IP protocol 112.
3342: We also placed pfsync at an open and unused number. We informed IANA of
3343: these decisions, but they declined to reply.
3344: <p>
3345: This ridiculous situation then inspired one of our developers to create
3346: this parody of the well-known Monty Python skit and song.

3634: Join Puffy Hood and his Funny Fish as they take on
1.26 deraadt 3635: the Sheriff (an unelected leader) and other evil
1.20 deraadt 3636: forces of the draconian government!
3637: <p>
3638: <br>
3639: As we did for the 3.3 release, we have once again tried
3640: making release artwork and music which are allegorical
3641: of recent happenings.
3642: <p>
3643: Two years ago we became involved with the University
3644: of Pennsylvania and DARPA, who were funding us to do
3645: security research and development .. on things that
3646: we were already intending to do. We provided ideas,
3647: wrote papers, and deployed cutting-edge technology;
3648: DARPA provided finances and reaped a share of the
3649: credit, and the University of Pennsylvania acted as
3650: a middle-man. We accepted funding based on the
3651: promise that our freedom to operate as we wished
3652: was unaffected. To us, freedom is more important
1.21 deraadt 3653: than funding -- heck, we were dealing with the evil
1.20 deraadt 3654: forces of government, and needed to be careful.
3655: <p>
3656: A few months prior to this release, DARPA suddenly
3657: and without warning decided to withdraw that funding;
3658: they also aggressively backed out of contractual
3659: obligations. Many articles in the <a href=press.html>press</a> followed regarding
1.67 jolan 3660: this sudden maneuver. Apparently this hoopla happened
1.20 deraadt 3661: because an OpenBSD-related article in the Canadian
1.55 tom 3662: newspaper The Globe & Mail had quoted Theo de Raadt
1.20 deraadt 3663: making anti-war statements regarding Iraq and the
3664: theft of oil.
3665: <p>
3666: The only answer given (to major media reporters) by a
3667: DARPA spokesperson (Jan Walker) was this:
3668: <p>
3669: "As a result of the DARPA review of the
3670: project, and due to world events and the evolving
3671: threat posed by increasingly capable nation-states,
3672: the Government on April 21 advised the University
3673: to suspend work on the "security fest" portion of
3674: the project."
3675: <p>
3676: That almost toes the line of calling us terrorists!
3677: We had lost financial support, but the release of the
3678: statement above suddenly made us very happy to be free
3679: of any perceived obligation to such crazy people.
3680: <p>
3681: Since the termination came near natural contract
3682: termination (about 4 months remained), less damage
3683: than expected was sustained by the project. Sponsors
3684: stepped forward and helped us make up the missing funds
3685: we needed to run our "Hackathon", and the event
1.61 grunk 3686: proceeded as planned. We even had T-shirts made with
1.20 deraadt 3687: "Workstations of Mass Development" artwork for those
3688: developers who attended (sorry, they are not for sale).
3689: <p>
3690: We could not make stories like this up. So instead,
3691: we are making up an allegory about it, using the tale
3692: of Robin Hood.
