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

700: back to 1901. This is known as the

702: POSIX operating systems have made strong inroads into embedded
703: roles, so this is anticipated to be substantially worse than the Y2K transition.
704: <p>
1.146 guenther 705: In August of 2012, Philip Guenther started the OpenBSD work to
1.157 deraadt 706: solve this.
1.146 guenther 707: After a year of work it was ready enough for merging, and in August 2013
708: the <b>time_t</b> type was changed to int64_t on all
709: platforms and the kernel and userland were adapted to the new
710: situation. The initial work was committed right after OpenBSD 5.4,
711: then polished in tree over the next 6 months.
1.144 deraadt 712: <p>
713: The next part of the process was to drag the "ports" software
1.146 guenther 714: ecosystem along because no one else had paved the way for 32-bit
1.144 deraadt 715: machines to run with 64-bit <b>time_t</b>. This required a fair
716: bit of upstream involvement. Thousands of fixes were required to
717: make both 32-bit and 64-bit time work transparently. There will
718: be more fixing in the future, but the concept is proven.
719: <p>
720: In the past OpenBSD pushed risky theoretical ideas into mainstream
721: software practice by proving the ecosystem was ready to change.
722: No OS wants to make a ABI jump until the case for change is proven.
723: Stack protection, ASLR, and W^X principles are now in common use
724: by mainline operating systems... because things like Firefox
725: and Postgresql don't break anymore. OpenBSD built that route.
726: <p>
727: In the same way, the road is paved for the 64-bit <b>time_t</b>
728: transition. Other operating systems can now make this jump.

1.132 beck 898: Just as the original song professed its love for Brazil, "World,
899: you'll love my Linux" is the passionate call of an idealistic dreamer
900: who can't bear the thought of software that will only run under
901: Windows, and yet loves the situation with software that will only run
902: under particular Linux distributions.
903: <p>
904: This problem has proliferated itself into the standards bodies, with
905: Posix adopting Linuxisms ahead of any other variant of Unix.
906: <p>
907: Posix and Unix have made it where you can write reasonably portable
908: software and have it compile and run across a multitude of platforms.
1.157 deraadt 909: Now this seems to be changing as the love for Linux drives the
910: standards bodies into accepting everything Linux, good and bad.
1.132 beck 911: <p>
912: We also are faced with groups writing software that only works
913: with particular distributions of Linux. From this we get software that
914: not only isn't very portable, but often not particularly stable. Our
915: idealistic dreamer in the song loves running one, or more than one distribution
916: of Linux for a particular purpose. Unfortunately, the rest of us are left
917: with the unattractive choice of doing the same, or relying on
918: herculean efforts to port software that is being actively developed in a
1.157 deraadt 919: way to discourage porting it to other platforms.

1698: Nearly 10 years ago Kirk McKusick wrote a history of
1699: the Berkeley Unix distributions for the
1.121 deraadt 1700: O'Reilly book "Open Sources: Voices from the Open Source Revolution".
1.104 deraadt 1701: We recommend you read his story, entitled

1703: "Twenty Years of Berkeley Unix
1704: From AT&T-Owned to Freely Redistributable"</a>
1705: first, to see how Kirk remembers how we got here.
1706: Sadly, since it showed up in book form originally, this text has
1707: probably not been read by enough people.
1708: <br>
1709: <br>
1710: The USL(AT&T) vs BSDI/UCB court case settlement documents were
1711: not public until recently; their disclosure has made the facts more clear.
1712: But the story of how three people decided to free the BSD codebase
1713: of corporate pollution -- and release it freely -- is more interesting
1714: than the lawsuit which followed. Sure, a stupid lawsuit happened which
1715: hindered the acceptance of the BSD code during a critical period.
1716: But how did a bunch of guys go through the effort of replacing so
1717: much AT&T code in the first place? After all, companies had
1718: lots of really evil lawyers back then too -- were they not afraid?
1719: <br>
1720: <br>
1721: After a decade of development, most of the AT&T code had
1722: already been replaced by university researchers and their associates.
1723: So Keith Bostic, Mike Karels and Kirk McKusick (the main UCB CSRG group)
1724: started going through the 4.3BSD codebase to cleanse the rest.
1725: Keith, in particular, built a ragtag team (in those days, USENIX
1726: conferences were a gold mine for such team building) and led these
1727: rebels to rewrite and replace all the Imperial AT&T code, piece by
1728: piece, starting with the libraries and userland programs.
1729: Anyone who helped only got credit as a Contributor -- people like
1730: Chris Torek and a cast of .. hundreds more.
1731: <br>

1.105 deraadt 1733: Then Mike and Kirk purified the kernel. After a bit more careful
1.104 deraadt 1734: checking, this led to the release of a clean tree called Net/2 which
1735: was given to the world in June 1991 -- the largest dump of free source
1736: code the world had ever received (for those days -- not modern monsters like OpenOffice).
1737: <br>
1738: <br>
1739: Some of these ragtags formed a company (BSDi) to sell a production system
1740: based on this free code base, and a year later Unix System Laboratories
1741: (basically AT&T) sued BSDi and UCB.
1742: Eventually AT&T lost and after a few trifling fixes (described in the
1743: lawsuit documents) the codebase was free. A few newer developments
1744: (and more free code) were added, and released in June 1994 as 4.4BSD-Lite.
1745: Just over 14 years later OpenBSD is releasing its own 4.4 release (and for
1746: a lot less than <a href=orders.html>$1000 per copy</a>).
1747: <br>
1748: <br>
1749: The OpenBSD 4.4 release is dedicated to Keith Bostic, Mike Karels, Kirk McKusick,
1750: and all of those who contributed to making Net/2 and 4.4BSD-Lite free.

1868: <br>
1869: <br>
1870: In 1998 when a United Airlines plane was waiting in the queue at
1.102 deraadt 1871: Washington Dulles International Airport for take-off to New Orleans
1872: (where a Usenix conference was taking place), one man stood up from
1873: his seat, demanded that they stop waiting in the queue and be permitted
1.95 deraadt 1874: to deplane. Even after orders from the crew and a pilot from
1875: the cockpit he refused to sit down. The plane exited the queue
1.96 deraadt 1876: and returned to the airport gangway. Security personnel ran onto
1.95 deraadt 1877: the plane and removed this man, Richard Stallman, from the plane.
1878: After Richard was removed from the plane, everyone else stayed
1879: onboard and continued their journey to New Orleans. A few
1880: OpenBSD developers were on that same plane, seated very closeby,
1881: so we have an accurate story of the events.
1882: <br>
1883: <br>
1884: This is the man who presumes that he should preach to us
1885: about morality, freedom, and what is best for us. He believes
1886: it is his God-given role to tell us what is best for us, when he
1887: has shown that he takes actions which are not best for everyone.
1888: He prefers actions which he thinks are best for him -- and him
1889: alone -- and then lies to the public. Richard Stallman is no Spock.
1890: <br>
1891: <br>
1892: We release our software in ways that are maximally free. We
1893: remove all restrictions on use and distribution, but leave a
1894: requirement to be known as the authors. We follow a pattern of
1895: free source code distribution that started in the mid-1980's
1896: in Berkeley, from before Richard Stallman had any powerful
1897: influence which he could use so falsely.
1898: <br>
1899: <br>
1900: We have a development sub-tree called "ports". Our "ports" tree
1901: builds software that is 'found on the net' into packages that
1902: OpenBSD users can use more easily. A scaffold of Makefiles and
1903: scripts automatically fetch these pieces of software, apply
1904: patches as required by OpenBSD, and then build them into nice
1905: neat little tarballs. This is provided as a convenience for
1.97 okan 1906: users. The ports tree is maintained by OpenBSD entirely separately
1.95 deraadt 1907: from our main source tree. Some of the software which is fetched
1908: and compiled is not as free as we would like, but what can we do.
1909: All the other operating system projects make exactly the same
1910: decision, and provide these same conveniences to their users.
1911: <br>
1912: <br>
1913: Richard felt that this "ports tree" of ours made OpenBSD non-free.
1914: He came to our mailing lists and lectured to us specifically, yet
1915: he said nothing to the many other vendors who do the same; many of
1916: them donate to the FSF and perhaps that has something to do with it.
1917: Meanwhile, Richard has personally made sure that all the official
1918: GNU software -- including Emacs -- compiles and runs on Windows.
1919: <br>
1920: <br>
1921: That man is a false leader. He is a hypocrite. There may be some
1922: people who listen to him. But we don't listen to people who do not
1923: follow their own stupid rules.

2021: Those of us who work on OpenBSD are often asked why we do what we do.
1.91 merdely 2022: This song's lyrics express the core motivations and goals which have
1.90 deraadt 2023: remained unchanged over the years - secure, free, reliable software,
2024: that can be shared with anyone. Many other projects purport to share
2025: these same goals, and love to wrap themselves in a banner of "Open
2026: Source" and "Free Software". Given how many projects there are one
2027: would think it might be easy to stick to those goals, but it doesn't
2028: seem to work out that way. A variety of desires drag many projects
2029: away from the ideals very quickly.
2030: <p>
1.93 jmc 2031: Much of any operating system's usability depends on device support,
1.91 merdely 2032: and there are some very tempting alternative ways to support devices
1.90 deraadt 2033: available to those who will surrender their moral code. A project
2034: could compromise by entering into NDA agreements with vendors, or
2035: including binary objects in the operating system for which no source
2036: code exists, or tying their users down with contract terms hidden
2037: inside copyright notices. All of these choices surrender some subset
2038: of the ideals, and we simply will not do this. Sure, we care about
2039: getting devices working, but not at the expense of our original goals.
2040: <p>
2041: Of course since "free to share with anyone" is part of our goals,
2042: we've been at the forefront of many licensing and NDA issues,
1.91 merdely 2043: resulting in a good number of successes. This success had led to much
1.90 deraadt 2044: recognition for the advancement of Free Software causes, but has also
2045: led to other issues.
2046: <p>
2047: We fully admit that some BSD licensed software has been taken and used
2048: by many commercial entities, but contributions come back more often
2049: than people seem to know, and when they do, they're always still
2050: properly attributed to the original authors, and given back in the
2051: same spirit that they were given in the first place.
2052: <p>
2053: That's the best we can expect from companies. After all, we make our
2054: stuff so free so that everyone can benefit -- it remains a core goal;
2055: we really have not strayed at all in 10 years. But we can expect more
2056: from projects who talk about sharing -- such as the various Linux
2057: projects.
2058: <p>
2059: Now rather than seeing us as friends who can cooperatively improve all
2060: codebases, we are seen as foes who oppose the GPL. The participants
2061: of "the race" are being manipulated by the FSF and their legal arm, the
2062: SFLC, for the FSF's aims, rather than the goal of getting good source
2063: into Linux (and all other code bases). We don't want this to come off
2064: as some conspiracy theory, but we simply urge those developers caution
2065: -- they should ensure that the path they are being shown by those who
2066: have positioned themselves as leaders is still true. Run for yourself,
2067: not for their agenda.
2068: <p>
2069: The Race is there to be run, for ourselves, not for others. We do
2070: what we do to run our own race, and finish it the best we can. We
2071: don't rush off at every distraction, or worry how this will affect our
2072: image. We are here to have fun doing right.

2173: As developers of a free operating system, one of our prime responsibilities
2174: is device support. No matter how nice an operating system is, it remains
2175: useless and unusable without solid support for a wide percentage of the
2176: hardware that is available on the market. It is therefore rather unsurprising
2177: that more than half of our efforts focus on various aspects relating to
2178: device support.
2179: <p>
1.85 mbalmer 2180: Most parts of the operating system (from low kernel, through to libraries,
1.81 deraadt 2181: all the way up to X, and then even to applications) use fairly obvious
2182: interface layers, where the "communication protocols" or "argument passing"
2183: mechanisms (ie. APIs) can be understood by any developer who takes the
2184: time to read the free code. Device drivers pose an additional and significant
2185: challenge though: because many vendors refuse to document the exact behavior
2186: of their devices. The devices are black boxes. And often they are surprisingly
2187: weird, or even buggy.
2188: <p>
2189: When vendor documentation does not exist, the development process can
2190: become extremely hairy. Groups of developers have found themselves focused
2191: for months at a time, figuring out the most simple steps, simply because
2192: the hardware is a complete mystery. Access to documentation can ease
2193: these difficulties rapidly. However, getting access to the chip documentation
2194: from vendors is ... almost always a negotiation. If we had open access to
1.84 matthieu 2195: documentation, anyone would be able to see how simple all these devices
1.81 deraadt 2196: actually are, and device driver development would flourish (and not just in
2197: OpenBSD, either).
2198: <p>
2199: When we proceed into negotiations with vendors, asking for documentation,
2200: our position is often weak. One would assume that the modern market is fair,
2201: and that selling chips would be the primary focus of these vendors. But
2202: unfortunately a number of behemoth software vendors have spent the last 10 or
2203: 20 years building

1.81 deraadt 2205: political hurdles against the smaller players</a>.
2206: <p>
1.82 jsg 2207: A particularly nasty player in this regard has been the Linux vendors and
1.87 tom 2208: some Linux developers, who have played along with an American corporate model
1.81 deraadt 2209: of requiring NDAs for chip documentation. This has effectively put Linux
2210: into the club with Microsoft, but has left all the other operating system
2211: communities -- and their developers -- with much less available clout for
2212: requesting documentation. In a more fair world, the Linux vendors would
2213: work with us, and the device driver support in all free operating systems
2214: would be fantastic by now.

2225: <br>
2226: <br>
2227: Puffy Baba and the 40 Vendors<br>
2228: We all know the details<br>
2229: Magic cave, magic words, some thieves,<br>
2230: some serious loot,<br>
2231: and lucky - Mister - Baba<br>
2232: Who got a bad rap if you ask me<br>
2233: The little guy who<br>
2234: did the best with what he had<br>
2235: <br>
2236: <br>
2237: Here are Mr. Baba's lessons<br>
2238: Load one ass, take a few trips and spend<br>
2239: in moderation<br>
2240: Three things the average man can't - get - right<br>
2241: <br>
2242: <br>
2243: If you know your brother is a greedy bastard<br>
2244: never give him the password<br>
2245: If he goes penguin on you,<br>
2246: stop - being - his brother.<br>
2247: When a cave is guarded by magic lawyers<br>
1.86 tom 2248: A sea of blood will be its doormat<br>
1.81 deraadt 2249: So do the best with what you have<br>
2250: <br>
2251: <br>
2252: Beyond the lessons - you must know this<br>
2253: that the Devil is as real as your address<br>
2254: But unlike Vendors,<br>
2255: he at least keeps the door open<br>
2256: <br>
2257: <br>
2258: Vendors of water that should be free<br>
2259: Look upon their words and despair<br>
2260: Their badvertising made a thief of my brother<br>
2261: then made him better off dead<br>
2262: Now he hasn't got shit to do his best with<br>
2263: <br>
2264: <br>
2265: Gratis. Free. Libre. Cuffo.<br>
2266: The companies of thieves stole every good adjective<br>
2267: and left us with open source (sores)<br>
2268: sharing smaller and smaller bandages<br>
2269: for each consecutive cut<br>
2270: But with the salty water of labour<br>
2271: parched desert becomes pregnant black soil<br>
2272: <br>
2273: <br>
2274: It's not whether you're well off<br>
2275: it's where you dig the well<br>

2600: This release, like every OpenBSD release, contains OpenBSD and its
2601: source code. It runs on a wide variety of hardware. It contains many
2602: new features and improvements. OpenBSD does attempt to convince
2603: vendors to release documentation, and often reverse-engineers around
2604: the need for blobs. OpenBSD remains blob-free. Anyone can look at it,
1.157 deraadt 2605: assess it, improve it. If it breaks, it can be fixed.

2744: For a multitude of (stupid) reasons, vendors often attempt to lock
2745: out our participation with their customers by refusing to give our
2746: programmers sufficient documentation so that we can properly support
2747: their devices.
2748: <p>
2749: Take Adaptec for instance. Before the 3.7 release we disabled support
2750: for the
1.168 sthen 2751: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=aac&sektion=4">aac(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 2752: Adaptec RAID driver because negotiations with the Adaptec had failed.
2753: They refused to give us documentation. Without documentation, support
2754: for their controller had always been poor. The driver had bugs (which
2755: affected some users more than others) which caused crashes, and of
2756: course there was no RAID management support. Apparently most of these
1.59 jolan 2757: bugs are because the Adaptec controllers have numerous buggy firmware
2758: issues which require careful workarounds; without documentation we
2759: cannot solve these issues.
1.58 deraadt 2760: <p>
2761: The driver was written by an OpenBSD developer, who cribbed parts
2762: of it from a FreeBSD driver written by an ex-Adaptec employee. But no
2763: public documentation exists, and Adaptec has dozens of cards with
2764: different firmware issues. All of this adds up to a very desperate
2765: development model -- it becomes very hard for the principle of
2766: "quality" to show its head.
2767: <p>
2768: RAID devices have two main qualities that people buy them for:
2769: <br>
2770: <ul>
1.60 pvalchev 2771: <li>Redundancy
1.58 deraadt 2772: <li>Repair
2773: </ul>
2774: You want a RAID unit to provide you with redundancy, so that if some drives
1.60 pvalchev 2775: fail, your data is not lost. But once a drive has failed, you require your
2776: array to (automatically, most likely) perform the operations to repair
1.58 deraadt 2777: itself, so that it is functioning perfectly again.
2778: <p>
2779: Some vendors (or like the above Adaptec case, ex-employee) have
2780: sometimes given us some documentation so that we could write drivers,
2781: so that their devices could support Redundancy. But these vendors have
2782: never given us any documentation for performing Repairs.
2783: <p>
2784: Instead these vendors have tried to pass out non-free RAID management
2785: tools. These are typically gigantic Linux binaries, or some crazy thing, that
1.67 jolan 2786: is supposed to work through a bizarre interface in the device driver, which
1.58 deraadt 2787: we are apparently supposed to write code for without any documentation.
2788: <p>
2789: And since we refuse to accept our users being forced into depending on
2790: vendor binaries, we have reverse engineered the management interface for
2791: the AMI controllers.
2792: <p>
2793: There is no great "intellectual property" in this stuff, it is all
2794: rather simple primitives. This is all that we need to implement
2795: basic RAID management:
2796: <ul>
2797: <li>SCSI transactions on the back-side busses
2798: <li>Discovering which drives are in which volumes
2799: <li>Being able to silence the buzzer
2800: <li>Marking a new drive as a Hot-Spare
2801: </ul>
2802: <p>
2803: The AMI driver needed to support these small primitive operations.
2804: And once we had that, we rely on something else which we know: Almost
2805: all the RAID controllers would need the same primitives.
2806: <p>
2807: Thus armed, we were able to write a generic framework which would later
2808: work on other vendors' RAID cards, that is, once we get documentation
2809: or do some reverse engineering for their products.
2810: <p>
1.60 pvalchev 2811: But having been ignored for so long by these vendors, it is not clear when (if
2812: ever) we will get around to writing that support for Adaptec RAID
1.58 deraadt 2813: controllers now. And Adaptec has gone and bought ICP Vortex, which
2814: may mean we can never get documentation for the
1.168 sthen 2815: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=gdt&sektion=4">gdt(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 2816: controllers.
2817: The "Open Source Friendly liar" IBM owns Mylex, and Mylex has told us we
2818: would not get documentation, either.
2819: 3Ware has lied to us and our users so many times they make politicians
2820: look saintly.
2821: <p>
2822: Until other vendors give us documentation, if you want reliable RAID
2823: in OpenBSD, please buy
2824: <a href="http://www.lsilogic.com/products/megaraid/index.html">LSI/AMI</a>
2825: RAID cards. And everything

2829: And keep pestering the other vendors.

2920: For an operating system to get anywhere in "the market" it must have
2921: good device support.<br>
2922: <br>
2923: Ethernet was our first concern. Many vendors refused to supply
2924: programmers with programming documentation for these chipsets. Donald
2925: Becker (Linux) and Bill Paul (FreeBSD) changed the rules of the game
2926: here: They wrote drivers for the chipsets that they could get
2927: documentation for, and as they succeeded in writing more and more
2928: drivers, eventually closed vendors slowly opened up until most
2929: ethernet chipset documentation was available. Today, some vendors
2930: still resist releasing ethernet chipset documentation (ie. Broadcom,
1.62 brad 2931: Intel, Marvell/SysKonnect, NVIDIA) but the driver problem is mostly
1.46 henning 2932: solved in the ethernet market.<br>
1.44 deraadt 2933: <br>
2934: Similar problems have happened in the SCSI, IDE, and RAID markets.
2935: Again, the problem was solved by writing drivers for documented
2936: devices first. If the free software user communities use those drivers
2937: preferentially, it is a market loss for the secretive vendors.
2938: Another approach that has worked is to publish email addresses and
2939: phone numbers for the marketing department managers in these
2940: companies. These email campaigns have worked almost every time.<br>
2941: <br>
2942: The new frontier: 802.11 wireless chipsets.<br>
2943: <br>
2944: Over the last six months, this came to a head in the OpenBSD project.
2945: We asked our users to help us petition numerous vendors so that we
2946: could get chipset documentation or redistributable firmware. Certainly, we did
1.52 deraadt 2947: not succeed for some vendors. But we did influence some vendors, in
1.44 deraadt 2948: particular the Taiwanese (Ralink and Realtek), who have given us
2949: everything we need. We also reverse engineered the Atheros chipsets.<br>
2950: <br>
2951:
2952: Want to help us? Avoid
1.168 sthen 2953: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=ipw">Intel Centrino</a>,
1.44 deraadt 2954: Broadcom, TI, or Connexant PrismGT chipsets.
2955: Heck, avoid buying even regular
1.168 sthen 2956: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=wi">old pre-G Prism products</a>,
1.44 deraadt 2957: to send a message.

1.44 deraadt 2966: <br>

2968: Send a message that open support for hardware matters. A vendor in
1.56 cloder 2969: Redmond largely continues their practices because they get
1.44 deraadt 2970: the chipset documentation years before everyone else does.
2971: What really upsets us the most is that some Linux vendors are signing
2972: Non-Disclosure Agreements with vendors, or contracts that let them
2973: distribute firmwares. Meanwhile both Linux and FSF head developers
1.49 nick 2974: are not asking their communities to help us in our efforts to free

3079: What is up with some free software providers?!
3080: They say "Here's something free! Oh wait, I changed my mind."
3081: <p>
3082: While not exactly bait-and-switch, this is something which
3083: has been causing the community continual grief, and therefore
3084: we decided to honour a few of the projects that have decided
1.41 deraadt 3085: to go non-free. After all.. having gone non-free, no one is
1.37 deraadt 3086: going to remember them in the end.
3087: <p>
3088: This song is dedicated to a few worthy groups who
3089: have made this Free-to-Non-Free transition with their
3090: offerings in the last few years:
3091: <ul>
3092: <li>David Dawes worked for years with a team of
3093: developers to make a free X11 distribution for us to use,
3094: called XFree86, 98% of which was based on entirely free
3095: code from MIT. Suddenly, one day, he decided that
3096: we must give him more credit (ie. advertise his name) or
3097: stop using it. Within about 4 months every project had
3098: told him to get stuffed, and the community has created a
3099: replacement effort.
1.41 deraadt 3100: Now his team cannot even keep their web pages up to date...
1.37 deraadt 3101: <p>
3102: <li>OpenBSD was the first operating system to integrate a
3103: packet filter, and it was the ipf codebase from Darren Reed
3104: that we chose. But a few years later he told us that we
3105: were not free to make changes to the code. So we deleted ipf,
3106: and our new packet filter far exceeds the capabilities of the
3107: one he wrote. And other projects are switching too...
3108: <p>
3109: <li>The Apache group started from the humble beginnings
3110: of just being 'a patchy' set of changes to a completely free
3111: web server of dubious quality. But the years have changed them,
3112: and what they supply is now quite non-free... released under
1.40 jolan 3113: a license so entangled in legalese that we have absolutely no
1.51 jcs 3114: doubt that there are encumbrances hidden within. Legal terms
1.37 deraadt 3115: protect. Who are they protecting? Not your freedom.
3116: </ul>
3117: So here's a goodbye to those three groups, and a warning to any
3118: others who will follow them:
3119: Make your stuff non-free, and something else will
3120: replace it.

3242: A common theme used by the comedy crew Monty Python was to emphasize
3243: and exaggerate ridiculousnesses that their target had imposed upon
3244: themselves. Few things could be considered as humorous as making a
3245: redundancy protocol... redundant; e.g. being forced to replace it by
3246: Cisco lawyers and IETF policy.
3247: <p>
3248: We've been working a few years now on our packet filtering software
1.168 sthen 3249: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>
1.30 deraadt 3250: and it became time to add failover. We want to be able to set up pf
3251: firewalls side by side, and exchange the stateful information between
3252: them, so that in case of failure another could take over 'keep state'
3253: sessions. Our
1.168 sthen 3254: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>
1.30 deraadt 3255: protocol solves this problem. However, on both sides of the firewall,
3256: it is also necessary to have all the regular hosts not see a
3257: network failure. The only reliable way to do this is for both
3258: firewall machines to have and use the same IP and MAC addresses. But
3259: the only real way to do that is to use multicast protocols.
3260: <p>
3261: The IETF community proposed work in this direction in the late
3262: 90's, however in 1997 Cisco informed them that they believed some of
3263: Cisco's patents covered the proposed IETF VRRP (Virtual Router
3264: Redundancy Protocol); on
3265: <a href="http://www.ietf.org/ietf/IPR/VRRP-CISCO">
3266: March 20, 1998 they went further and specifically named their HSRP
3267: "Hot Standby Router Protocol" patent</a>. Reputedly, they were upset
3268: that IETF had not simply adopted the flawed HSRP protocol as the
3269: standard solution for this problem. Despite this legal pressure, the
3270: IETF community forged ahead and published VRRP as a standard even
3271: though there was a patent in the space. Why?
1.144 deraadt 3272: <a href="http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/doc/ietf/vrrp/vrrp-minutes-97dec.txt">
1.30 deraadt 3273: There was much deliberation</a>
3274: at all levels of the IETF, and unfortunately for all of us the
3275: politicians within eventually decided to allow patented technology in
3276: standards -- as long as the patented technology is licensed under RAND
3277: (Reasonable And Non Discriminatory) terms. As free software
3278: programmers, we therefore find ourselves in the position that these
3279: RAND standards must not be implemented by us, and we must deviate from
3280: the standard. We find all this rather Unreasonable and Discriminatory
3281: and we *will* design competing protocols. Some standards organization,
3282: eh?
3283: <p>
3284: Due to some HSRP flaws fixed by VRRP and for compatibility with the
3285: (HSRP-licensed) VRRP implementations of their competitors, Cisco in
3286: recent times has largely abandoned HSRP and now relies on VRRP instead
3287: -- a protocol designed for and by the community, but for which they
3288: claim patent rights.
3289: <p>
3290: On August 7 2002, after many communications, Robert Barr (Cisco's
3291: lawyer) firmly informed the OpenBSD community that Cisco would defend
3292: its patents for VRRP implementations -- meaning basically that it was
3293: impossible for a free software group to produce a truly free
3294: implementation of the IETF standard protocol. Perhaps this is because
3295: Cisco and Alcatel are currently engaged in a pair of patent lawsuits; a
3296: small piece of which is Cisco attempting to use the HSRP patent
3297: against Alcatel for their use of VRRP. Some IETF working group
3298: members took note of our complaints,
1.122 deraadt 3299: <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20061109082106/http://lists.microshaft.org/pipermail/dmca_discuss/2003-April/004702.html">
1.30 deraadt 3300: however an attempt in April 2003 to have the IETF abandon the use of
3301: patented technology failed to "reach consensus" in the IETF</a>.
3302: <p>
3303: A few years ago, the W3C, who designs our web protocols, tried to move
3304: to a RAND policy as well (primarily because of pressure from Microsoft
3305: and Apple), but the community outrage was so overpowering that they
3306: backed down. Some standards groups use this policy, while others
3307: avoid it -- the one differentiation being the amount of corporate
1.55 tom 3308: participation. In the IETF, the pro-RAND agents work for AT&T,
1.30 deraadt 3309: Alcatel, IBM, Cisco, Microsoft, and other large companies. Since IETF
3310: is an open forum, they can blend in as the populace, and vote just
3311: like all others, except against the community.
3312: <p>
3313: Translation: In failing to "reach consensus", the companies who
3314: benefit from RAND won, and the community lost again.
3315: <p>
3316: Left with little choice, we proceeded to reinvent the wheel or, more
3317: correctly, abandon the wheel entirely and go for a "hovercraft". We
3318: designed CARP (Common Address Redundancy Protocol) to solve the same
3319: problem that these other protocols are designed for, but without the
3320: same technological basis as HSRP and VRRP. We read the patent
3321: document carefully and ensured that CARP was fundamentally different.
3322: We also avoided many of the flaws in HSRP and VRRP (such as an inherent
3323: lack of security). And since we are OpenBSD developers, we designed
3324: it to use cryptography.
3325: <p>
3326: The combination of
1.168 sthen 3327: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>,
3328: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>, and
3329: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=carp&sektion=4">carp(4)</a>
1.30 deraadt 3330: has permitted us to build highly redundant firewalls. To date, we
3331: have built a few networks that include as many as 4 firewalls, all
3332: running random reboot cycles. As long as one firewall is alive in a
3333: group, traffic through them moves smoothly and correctly for all of
3334: our packet filter functionality. Cisco's low end products are unable
3335: to do this reliably, and if they have high end products which can do
3336: this, you most certainly cannot afford them.
3337: <p>
3338: As a final note of course, when we petitioned IANA, the IETF body
3339: regulating "official" internet protocol numbers, to give us numbers
3340: for CARP and pfsync our request was denied. Apparently we had failed
3341: to go through an official standards organization. Consequently we
3342: were forced to choose a protocol number which would not conflict with
3343: anything else of value, and decided to place CARP at IP protocol 112.
3344: We also placed pfsync at an open and unused number. We informed IANA of
3345: these decisions, but they declined to reply.
3346: <p>
3347: This ridiculous situation then inspired one of our developers to create
3348: this parody of the well-known Monty Python skit and song.

3636: Join Puffy Hood and his Funny Fish as they take on
1.26 deraadt 3637: the Sheriff (an unelected leader) and other evil
1.20 deraadt 3638: forces of the draconian government!
3639: <p>
3640: <br>
3641: As we did for the 3.3 release, we have once again tried
3642: making release artwork and music which are allegorical
3643: of recent happenings.
3644: <p>
3645: Two years ago we became involved with the University
3646: of Pennsylvania and DARPA, who were funding us to do
3647: security research and development .. on things that
3648: we were already intending to do. We provided ideas,
3649: wrote papers, and deployed cutting-edge technology;
3650: DARPA provided finances and reaped a share of the
3651: credit, and the University of Pennsylvania acted as
3652: a middle-man. We accepted funding based on the
3653: promise that our freedom to operate as we wished
3654: was unaffected. To us, freedom is more important
1.21 deraadt 3655: than funding -- heck, we were dealing with the evil
1.20 deraadt 3656: forces of government, and needed to be careful.
3657: <p>
3658: A few months prior to this release, DARPA suddenly
3659: and without warning decided to withdraw that funding;
3660: they also aggressively backed out of contractual
3661: obligations. Many articles in the <a href=press.html>press</a> followed regarding
1.67 jolan 3662: this sudden maneuver. Apparently this hoopla happened
1.20 deraadt 3663: because an OpenBSD-related article in the Canadian
1.55 tom 3664: newspaper The Globe & Mail had quoted Theo de Raadt
1.20 deraadt 3665: making anti-war statements regarding Iraq and the
3666: theft of oil.
3667: <p>
3668: The only answer given (to major media reporters) by a
3669: DARPA spokesperson (Jan Walker) was this:
3670: <p>
3671: "As a result of the DARPA review of the
3672: project, and due to world events and the evolving
3673: threat posed by increasingly capable nation-states,
3674: the Government on April 21 advised the University
3675: to suspend work on the "security fest" portion of
3676: the project."
3677: <p>
3678: That almost toes the line of calling us terrorists!
3679: We had lost financial support, but the release of the
3680: statement above suddenly made us very happy to be free
3681: of any perceived obligation to such crazy people.
3682: <p>
3683: Since the termination came near natural contract
3684: termination (about 4 months remained), less damage
3685: than expected was sustained by the project. Sponsors
3686: stepped forward and helped us make up the missing funds
3687: we needed to run our "Hackathon", and the event
1.61 grunk 3688: proceeded as planned. We even had T-shirts made with
1.20 deraadt 3689: "Workstations of Mass Development" artwork for those
3690: developers who attended (sorry, they are not for sale).
3691: <p>
3692: We could not make stories like this up. So instead,
3693: we are making up an allegory about it, using the tale
3694: of Robin Hood.
