666: We've done stuff about LibreSSL before, but this particular song just
667: fit with the release theme. While the lyrics can speak for themselves,
668: "A Year In The Life" is representative of more than just LibreSSL. The
669: pattern of LibreSSL development is a pattern that has repeated itself
670: many times in OpenBSD -- a decision is made by a few people to do

672: like it (such as with OpenSSH). To the developers actually doing the

852: In January of 2038, 32-bit Unix time will overflow and wrap
853: back to 1901. This is known as the
854: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem">Year 2038 problem</a>.
855: POSIX operating systems have made strong inroads into embedded
856: roles, so this is anticipated to be substantially worse than the Y2K transition.
857: <p>
1.146 guenther 858: In August of 2012, Philip Guenther started the OpenBSD work to
1.157 deraadt 859: solve this.
1.146 guenther 860: After a year of work it was ready enough for merging, and in August 2013
861: the <b>time_t</b> type was changed to int64_t on all
862: platforms and the kernel and userland were adapted to the new
863: situation. The initial work was committed right after OpenBSD 5.4,
864: then polished in tree over the next 6 months.
1.144 deraadt 865: <p>
866: The next part of the process was to drag the "ports" software
1.146 guenther 867: ecosystem along because no one else had paved the way for 32-bit
1.144 deraadt 868: machines to run with 64-bit <b>time_t</b>. This required a fair
869: bit of upstream involvement. Thousands of fixes were required to
870: make both 32-bit and 64-bit time work transparently. There will
871: be more fixing in the future, but the concept is proven.
872: <p>
873: In the past OpenBSD pushed risky theoretical ideas into mainstream
874: software practice by proving the ecosystem was ready to change.
875: No OS wants to make a ABI jump until the case for change is proven.
876: Stack protection, ASLR, and W^X principles are now in common use
877: by mainline operating systems... because things like Firefox
878: and Postgresql don't break anymore. OpenBSD built that route.
879: <p>
880: In the same way, the road is paved for the 64-bit <b>time_t</b>
881: transition. Other operating systems can now make this jump.

1.132 beck 1050: Just as the original song professed its love for Brazil, "World,
1051: you'll love my Linux" is the passionate call of an idealistic dreamer

1053: Windows, and yet loves the situation with software that will only run
1054: under particular Linux distributions.
1055: <p>
1056: This problem has proliferated itself into the standards bodies, with
1057: Posix adopting Linuxisms ahead of any other variant of Unix.
1058: <p>
1059: Posix and Unix have made it where you can write reasonably portable
1060: software and have it compile and run across a multitude of platforms.
1.157 deraadt 1061: Now this seems to be changing as the love for Linux drives the
1062: standards bodies into accepting everything Linux, good and bad.
1.132 beck 1063: <p>
1064: We also are faced with groups writing software that only works
1065: with particular distributions of Linux. From this we get software that
1066: not only isn't very portable, but often not particularly stable. Our
1067: idealistic dreamer in the song loves running one, or more than one distribution
1068: of Linux for a particular purpose. Unfortunately, the rest of us are left
1069: with the unattractive choice of doing the same, or relying on
1070: herculean efforts to port software that is being actively developed in a
1.157 deraadt 1071: way to discourage porting it to other platforms.

1423: including his favorite number -- 42. Therefore we can remember
1424: the previous major achievement of CSRG - BSD 4.2.<br>
1425: <br>
1426: BSD 4.2 was
1427: not free, but it created and integrated so many new
1428: technologies that we all depend on today. Take a moment
1429: to consider how many things first available in BSD 4.2 you are using
1430: at this moment, to read this page -- sockets, AF_INET,
1431: virtual memory, etc.<br>
1432: <br>
1433: Today, new releases of operating systems from well-known vendors
1434: contain less new features than BSD 4.2 did.<br>

1841: Nearly 10 years ago Kirk McKusick wrote a history of
1842: the Berkeley Unix distributions for the
1.121 deraadt 1843: O'Reilly book "Open Sources: Voices from the Open Source Revolution".
1.104 deraadt 1844: We recommend you read his story, entitled
1845: <a href="http://oreilly.com/catalog/opensources/book/kirkmck.html">
1846: "Twenty Years of Berkeley Unix
1847: From AT&T-Owned to Freely Redistributable"</a>
1848: first, to see how Kirk remembers how we got here.
1849: Sadly, since it showed up in book form originally, this text has
1850: probably not been read by enough people.
1851: <br>
1852: <br>
1853: The USL(AT&T) vs BSDI/UCB court case settlement documents were
1854: not public until recently; their disclosure has made the facts more clear.
1855: But the story of how three people decided to free the BSD codebase
1856: of corporate pollution -- and release it freely -- is more interesting
1857: than the lawsuit which followed. Sure, a stupid lawsuit happened which
1858: hindered the acceptance of the BSD code during a critical period.
1859: But how did a bunch of guys go through the effort of replacing so
1860: much AT&T code in the first place? After all, companies had
1861: lots of really evil lawyers back then too -- were they not afraid?
1862: <br>
1863: <br>
1864: After a decade of development, most of the AT&T code had
1865: already been replaced by university researchers and their associates.
1866: So Keith Bostic, Mike Karels and Kirk McKusick (the main UCB CSRG group)
1867: started going through the 4.3BSD codebase to cleanse the rest.
1868: Keith, in particular, built a ragtag team (in those days, USENIX
1869: conferences were a gold mine for such team building) and led these
1870: rebels to rewrite and replace all the Imperial AT&T code, piece by
1871: piece, starting with the libraries and userland programs.
1872: Anyone who helped only got credit as a Contributor -- people like
1873: Chris Torek and a cast of .. hundreds more.
1874: <br>
1875: <br>
1.105 deraadt 1876: Then Mike and Kirk purified the kernel. After a bit more careful
1.104 deraadt 1877: checking, this led to the release of a clean tree called Net/2 which
1878: was given to the world in June 1991 -- the largest dump of free source
1879: code the world had ever received (for those days -- not modern monsters like OpenOffice).
1880: <br>
1881: <br>
1882: Some of these ragtags formed a company (BSDi) to sell a production system
1883: based on this free code base, and a year later Unix System Laboratories
1884: (basically AT&T) sued BSDi and UCB.
1885: Eventually AT&T lost and after a few trifling fixes (described in the
1886: lawsuit documents) the codebase was free. A few newer developments
1887: (and more free code) were added, and released in June 1994 as 4.4BSD-Lite.
1888: Just over 14 years later OpenBSD is releasing its own 4.4 release (and for
1889: a lot less than <a href=orders.html>$1000 per copy</a>).
1890: <br>
1891: <br>
1892: The OpenBSD 4.4 release is dedicated to Keith Bostic, Mike Karels, Kirk McKusick,
1893: and all of those who contributed to making Net/2 and 4.4BSD-Lite free.

2010: <br>
2011: <br>
2012: In 1998 when a United Airlines plane was waiting in the queue at
1.102 deraadt 2013: Washington Dulles International Airport for take-off to New Orleans
2014: (where a Usenix conference was taking place), one man stood up from
2015: his seat, demanded that they stop waiting in the queue and be permitted
1.95 deraadt 2016: to deplane. Even after orders from the crew and a pilot from
2017: the cockpit he refused to sit down. The plane exited the queue
1.96 deraadt 2018: and returned to the airport gangway. Security personnel ran onto
1.95 deraadt 2019: the plane and removed this man, Richard Stallman, from the plane.
2020: After Richard was removed from the plane, everyone else stayed
2021: onboard and continued their journey to New Orleans. A few
2022: OpenBSD developers were on that same plane, seated very closeby,
2023: so we have an accurate story of the events.
2024: <br>
2025: <br>
2026: This is the man who presumes that he should preach to us
2027: about morality, freedom, and what is best for us. He believes
2028: it is his God-given role to tell us what is best for us, when he
2029: has shown that he takes actions which are not best for everyone.
2030: He prefers actions which he thinks are best for him -- and him
2031: alone -- and then lies to the public. Richard Stallman is no Spock.
2032: <br>
2033: <br>
2034: We release our software in ways that are maximally free. We
2035: remove all restrictions on use and distribution, but leave a
2036: requirement to be known as the authors. We follow a pattern of
2037: free source code distribution that started in the mid-1980's
2038: in Berkeley, from before Richard Stallman had any powerful
2039: influence which he could use so falsely.
2040: <br>
2041: <br>
2042: We have a development sub-tree called "ports". Our "ports" tree
2043: builds software that is 'found on the net' into packages that
2044: OpenBSD users can use more easily. A scaffold of Makefiles and
2045: scripts automatically fetch these pieces of software, apply
2046: patches as required by OpenBSD, and then build them into nice
2047: neat little tarballs. This is provided as a convenience for
1.97 okan 2048: users. The ports tree is maintained by OpenBSD entirely separately
1.95 deraadt 2049: from our main source tree. Some of the software which is fetched
2050: and compiled is not as free as we would like, but what can we do.
2051: All the other operating system projects make exactly the same
2052: decision, and provide these same conveniences to their users.
2053: <br>
2054: <br>
2055: Richard felt that this "ports tree" of ours made OpenBSD non-free.
2056: He came to our mailing lists and lectured to us specifically, yet
2057: he said nothing to the many other vendors who do the same; many of
2058: them donate to the FSF and perhaps that has something to do with it.
2059: Meanwhile, Richard has personally made sure that all the official
2060: GNU software -- including Emacs -- compiles and runs on Windows.
2061: <br>
2062: <br>
2063: That man is a false leader. He is a hypocrite. There may be some
2064: people who listen to him. But we don't listen to people who do not
2065: follow their own stupid rules.

2160: Those of us who work on OpenBSD are often asked why we do what we do.
1.91 merdely 2161: This song's lyrics express the core motivations and goals which have
1.90 deraadt 2162: remained unchanged over the years - secure, free, reliable software,
2163: that can be shared with anyone. Many other projects purport to share
2164: these same goals, and love to wrap themselves in a banner of "Open
2165: Source" and "Free Software". Given how many projects there are one
2166: would think it might be easy to stick to those goals, but it doesn't
2167: seem to work out that way. A variety of desires drag many projects
2168: away from the ideals very quickly.
2169: <p>
1.93 jmc 2170: Much of any operating system's usability depends on device support,
1.91 merdely 2171: and there are some very tempting alternative ways to support devices
1.90 deraadt 2172: available to those who will surrender their moral code. A project
2173: could compromise by entering into NDA agreements with vendors, or
2174: including binary objects in the operating system for which no source
2175: code exists, or tying their users down with contract terms hidden
2176: inside copyright notices. All of these choices surrender some subset
2177: of the ideals, and we simply will not do this. Sure, we care about
2178: getting devices working, but not at the expense of our original goals.
2179: <p>
2180: Of course since "free to share with anyone" is part of our goals,
2181: we've been at the forefront of many licensing and NDA issues,
1.91 merdely 2182: resulting in a good number of successes. This success had led to much
1.90 deraadt 2183: recognition for the advancement of Free Software causes, but has also
2184: led to other issues.
2185: <p>
2186: We fully admit that some BSD licensed software has been taken and used
2187: by many commercial entities, but contributions come back more often
2188: than people seem to know, and when they do, they're always still
2189: properly attributed to the original authors, and given back in the
2190: same spirit that they were given in the first place.
2191: <p>
2192: That's the best we can expect from companies. After all, we make our
2193: stuff so free so that everyone can benefit -- it remains a core goal;
2194: we really have not strayed at all in 10 years. But we can expect more
2195: from projects who talk about sharing -- such as the various Linux
2196: projects.
2197: <p>
2198: Now rather than seeing us as friends who can cooperatively improve all
2199: codebases, we are seen as foes who oppose the GPL. The participants
2200: of "the race" are being manipulated by the FSF and their legal arm, the
2201: SFLC, for the FSF's aims, rather than the goal of getting good source
2202: into Linux (and all other code bases). We don't want this to come off
2203: as some conspiracy theory, but we simply urge those developers caution
2204: -- they should ensure that the path they are being shown by those who
2205: have positioned themselves as leaders is still true. Run for yourself,
2206: not for their agenda.
2207: <p>
2208: The Race is there to be run, for ourselves, not for others. We do
2209: what we do to run our own race, and finish it the best we can. We
2210: don't rush off at every distraction, or worry how this will affect our
2211: image. We are here to have fun doing right.

2311: As developers of a free operating system, one of our prime responsibilities
2312: is device support. No matter how nice an operating system is, it remains
2313: useless and unusable without solid support for a wide percentage of the
2314: hardware that is available on the market. It is therefore rather unsurprising
2315: that more than half of our efforts focus on various aspects relating to
2316: device support.
2317: <p>
1.85 mbalmer 2318: Most parts of the operating system (from low kernel, through to libraries,
1.81 deraadt 2319: all the way up to X, and then even to applications) use fairly obvious
2320: interface layers, where the "communication protocols" or "argument passing"
2321: mechanisms (ie. APIs) can be understood by any developer who takes the
2322: time to read the free code. Device drivers pose an additional and significant
2323: challenge though: because many vendors refuse to document the exact behavior
2324: of their devices. The devices are black boxes. And often they are surprisingly
2325: weird, or even buggy.
2326: <p>
2327: When vendor documentation does not exist, the development process can
2328: become extremely hairy. Groups of developers have found themselves focused
2329: for months at a time, figuring out the most simple steps, simply because
2330: the hardware is a complete mystery. Access to documentation can ease
2331: these difficulties rapidly. However, getting access to the chip documentation
2332: from vendors is ... almost always a negotiation. If we had open access to
1.84 matthieu 2333: documentation, anyone would be able to see how simple all these devices
1.81 deraadt 2334: actually are, and device driver development would flourish (and not just in
2335: OpenBSD, either).
2336: <p>
2337: When we proceed into negotiations with vendors, asking for documentation,
2338: our position is often weak. One would assume that the modern market is fair,
2339: and that selling chips would be the primary focus of these vendors. But
2340: unfortunately a number of behemoth software vendors have spent the last 10 or
2341: 20 years building

1.81 deraadt 2343: political hurdles against the smaller players</a>.
2344: <p>
1.82 jsg 2345: A particularly nasty player in this regard has been the Linux vendors and
1.87 tom 2346: some Linux developers, who have played along with an American corporate model
1.81 deraadt 2347: of requiring NDAs for chip documentation. This has effectively put Linux
2348: into the club with Microsoft, but has left all the other operating system
2349: communities -- and their developers -- with much less available clout for
2350: requesting documentation. In a more fair world, the Linux vendors would
2351: work with us, and the device driver support in all free operating systems
2352: would be fantastic by now.

2565: While tests of the release binaries are done by developers
1.77 deraadt 2566: around the world, Theo and some developers from Calgary
2567: or Edmonton (such as Peter Valchev or Bob Beck) test that
1.76 deraadt 2568: the discs are full of (only) correct code. Ty Semaka works for
2569: approximately two months to design and draw artwork that will fit
2570: the designated theme, and coordinates with his music buddies to
2571: write and record a song that also matches the theme.
2572: <br>
2573: <br>
2574: Then the discs and all the artwork gets delivered to the plant,
2575: so that they can be pressed in time for an official release date.
2576: <br>
2577: <br>
2578: This release, instead of bemoaning vendors or organizations that
2579: try to make our task of writing free software more difficult, we
2580: instead celebrate the 10 years that we have been given (so far) to
2581: write free software, express our themes in art, and the 5 years
2582: that we have made music with a group of talented musicians.
1.77 deraadt 2583: <br>

1.76 deraadt 2585: OpenBSD developers have been torturing each other for years now
2586: with Humppa-style music, so this release our users get a taste
1.77 deraadt 2587: of this too. Sometimes at hackathons you will hear the same
2588: songs being played on multiple laptops, out of sync. It is
2589: under such duress that much of our code gets written.
1.76 deraadt 2590: <br>
2591: <br>
2592: We feel like Pufferix and Bobilix delivering The Three Discs of
2593: Freedom to those who want them whenever the need arises, then
2594: returning to celebrate the (unlocked) source tree with all the
2595: other developers.

2697: OpenBSD emphasizes security. It also emphasizes openness. All the code
2698: is there for all to see. Blobs are vendor-compiled binary drivers
2699: without any source code. Hardware makers like them because they
2700: obscure the details of how to make their hardware work. They hide bugs
2701: and workarounds for bugs. Newer versions of blobs can weaken support
2702: for older hardware and motivate people to buy new hardware.<br>
2703: <br>
2704: <br>
2705: Blobs are expedient. Many other open source operating systems
2706: cheerfully incorporate them; in fact their users demand them.<br>
2707: <br>
2708: <br>
2709: But when you need to trust the system, how do you check the blob for
2710: quality? For adherence to standards? How do you know the blob contains
2711: no malicious code? No incompetent code? Inspection is impossible; you
2712: can only test the black box. And when it breaks, you have no idea why.<br>
2713: <br>
2714: <br>
2715: <ul>
2716: <li>Blobs can be 'de-supported' by vendors<br>

2878: For a multitude of (stupid) reasons, vendors often attempt to lock
2879: out our participation with their customers by refusing to give our
2880: programmers sufficient documentation so that we can properly support
2881: their devices.
2882: <p>
2883: Take Adaptec for instance. Before the 3.7 release we disabled support
2884: for the
1.168 sthen 2885: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=aac&sektion=4">aac(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 2886: Adaptec RAID driver because negotiations with the Adaptec had failed.
2887: They refused to give us documentation. Without documentation, support
2888: for their controller had always been poor. The driver had bugs (which
2889: affected some users more than others) which caused crashes, and of
2890: course there was no RAID management support. Apparently most of these
1.59 jolan 2891: bugs are because the Adaptec controllers have numerous buggy firmware
2892: issues which require careful workarounds; without documentation we
2893: cannot solve these issues.
1.58 deraadt 2894: <p>
2895: The driver was written by an OpenBSD developer, who cribbed parts
2896: of it from a FreeBSD driver written by an ex-Adaptec employee. But no
2897: public documentation exists, and Adaptec has dozens of cards with
2898: different firmware issues. All of this adds up to a very desperate
2899: development model -- it becomes very hard for the principle of
2900: "quality" to show its head.
2901: <p>
2902: RAID devices have two main qualities that people buy them for:
2903: <br>
2904: <ul>
1.60 pvalchev 2905: <li>Redundancy
1.58 deraadt 2906: <li>Repair
2907: </ul>
2908: You want a RAID unit to provide you with redundancy, so that if some drives
1.60 pvalchev 2909: fail, your data is not lost. But once a drive has failed, you require your
2910: array to (automatically, most likely) perform the operations to repair
1.58 deraadt 2911: itself, so that it is functioning perfectly again.
2912: <p>
2913: Some vendors (or like the above Adaptec case, ex-employee) have
2914: sometimes given us some documentation so that we could write drivers,
2915: so that their devices could support Redundancy. But these vendors have
2916: never given us any documentation for performing Repairs.
2917: <p>
2918: Instead these vendors have tried to pass out non-free RAID management
2919: tools. These are typically gigantic Linux binaries, or some crazy thing, that
1.67 jolan 2920: is supposed to work through a bizarre interface in the device driver, which
1.58 deraadt 2921: we are apparently supposed to write code for without any documentation.
2922: <p>
2923: And since we refuse to accept our users being forced into depending on
2924: vendor binaries, we have reverse engineered the management interface for
2925: the AMI controllers.
2926: <p>
2927: There is no great "intellectual property" in this stuff, it is all
2928: rather simple primitives. This is all that we need to implement
2929: basic RAID management:
2930: <ul>
2931: <li>SCSI transactions on the back-side busses
2932: <li>Discovering which drives are in which volumes
2933: <li>Being able to silence the buzzer
2934: <li>Marking a new drive as a Hot-Spare
2935: </ul>
2936: <p>
2937: The AMI driver needed to support these small primitive operations.
2938: And once we had that, we rely on something else which we know: Almost
2939: all the RAID controllers would need the same primitives.
2940: <p>
2941: Thus armed, we were able to write a generic framework which would later
2942: work on other vendors' RAID cards, that is, once we get documentation
2943: or do some reverse engineering for their products.
2944: <p>
1.60 pvalchev 2945: But having been ignored for so long by these vendors, it is not clear when (if
2946: ever) we will get around to writing that support for Adaptec RAID
1.58 deraadt 2947: controllers now. And Adaptec has gone and bought ICP Vortex, which
2948: may mean we can never get documentation for the
1.168 sthen 2949: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=gdt&sektion=4">gdt(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 2950: controllers.
2951: The "Open Source Friendly liar" IBM owns Mylex, and Mylex has told us we
2952: would not get documentation, either.
2953: 3Ware has lied to us and our users so many times they make politicians
2954: look saintly.
2955: <p>
2956: Until other vendors give us documentation, if you want reliable RAID
2957: in OpenBSD, please buy
2958: <a href="http://www.lsilogic.com/products/megaraid/index.html">LSI/AMI</a>

3053: For an operating system to get anywhere in "the market" it must have
3054: good device support.<br>
3055: <br>
3056: Ethernet was our first concern. Many vendors refused to supply
3057: programmers with programming documentation for these chipsets. Donald
3058: Becker (Linux) and Bill Paul (FreeBSD) changed the rules of the game
3059: here: They wrote drivers for the chipsets that they could get
3060: documentation for, and as they succeeded in writing more and more
3061: drivers, eventually closed vendors slowly opened up until most
3062: ethernet chipset documentation was available. Today, some vendors
3063: still resist releasing ethernet chipset documentation (ie. Broadcom,
1.62 brad 3064: Intel, Marvell/SysKonnect, NVIDIA) but the driver problem is mostly
1.46 henning 3065: solved in the ethernet market.<br>
1.44 deraadt 3066: <br>
3067: Similar problems have happened in the SCSI, IDE, and RAID markets.
3068: Again, the problem was solved by writing drivers for documented
3069: devices first. If the free software user communities use those drivers
3070: preferentially, it is a market loss for the secretive vendors.
3071: Another approach that has worked is to publish email addresses and
3072: phone numbers for the marketing department managers in these
3073: companies. These email campaigns have worked almost every time.<br>
3074: <br>
3075: The new frontier: 802.11 wireless chipsets.<br>
3076: <br>
3077: Over the last six months, this came to a head in the OpenBSD project.
3078: We asked our users to help us petition numerous vendors so that we
3079: could get chipset documentation or redistributable firmware. Certainly, we did
1.52 deraadt 3080: not succeed for some vendors. But we did influence some vendors, in
1.44 deraadt 3081: particular the Taiwanese (Ralink and Realtek), who have given us
3082: everything we need. We also reverse engineered the Atheros chipsets.<br>
3083: <br>
3084:
3085: Want to help us? Avoid
1.168 sthen 3086: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=ipw">Intel Centrino</a>,
1.44 deraadt 3087: Broadcom, TI, or Connexant PrismGT chipsets.
3088: Heck, avoid buying even regular
1.168 sthen 3089: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=wi">old pre-G Prism products</a>,
1.44 deraadt 3090: to send a message.
1.48 deraadt 3091: If you can, buy 802.11 products using chips by
1.168 sthen 3092: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=rtw">Realtek</a>,
3093: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=ral">Ralink</a>,

3095: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=awi">ADMTek</a>,
3096: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=ath">Atheros</a>.
1.44 deraadt 3097: Our manual pages attempt to explain which vendors (ie. D-Link) box
1.52 deraadt 3098: which chipsets into which product.
1.44 deraadt 3099: <br>
3100: <br>
3101: Send a message that open support for hardware matters. A vendor in
1.56 cloder 3102: Redmond largely continues their practices because they get
1.44 deraadt 3103: the chipset documentation years before everyone else does.
3104: What really upsets us the most is that some Linux vendors are signing
3105: Non-Disclosure Agreements with vendors, or contracts that let them
3106: distribute firmwares. Meanwhile both Linux and FSF head developers
1.49 nick 3107: are not asking their communities to help us in our efforts to free
1.44 deraadt 3108: development information for all, but are even going further and
3109: telling their development communities to not work with us at
3110: pressuring vendors. It is ridiculous.

3212: What is up with some free software providers?!
3213: They say "Here's something free! Oh wait, I changed my mind."
3214: <p>
3215: While not exactly bait-and-switch, this is something which
3216: has been causing the community continual grief, and therefore
3217: we decided to honour a few of the projects that have decided
1.41 deraadt 3218: to go non-free. After all.. having gone non-free, no one is
1.37 deraadt 3219: going to remember them in the end.
3220: <p>
3221: This song is dedicated to a few worthy groups who
3222: have made this Free-to-Non-Free transition with their
3223: offerings in the last few years:
3224: <ul>
3225: <li>David Dawes worked for years with a team of
3226: developers to make a free X11 distribution for us to use,
3227: called XFree86, 98% of which was based on entirely free
3228: code from MIT. Suddenly, one day, he decided that
3229: we must give him more credit (ie. advertise his name) or
3230: stop using it. Within about 4 months every project had
3231: told him to get stuffed, and the community has created a
3232: replacement effort.
1.41 deraadt 3233: Now his team cannot even keep their web pages up to date...
1.37 deraadt 3234: <p>
3235: <li>OpenBSD was the first operating system to integrate a
3236: packet filter, and it was the ipf codebase from Darren Reed
3237: that we chose. But a few years later he told us that we
3238: were not free to make changes to the code. So we deleted ipf,
3239: and our new packet filter far exceeds the capabilities of the
3240: one he wrote. And other projects are switching too...
3241: <p>
3242: <li>The Apache group started from the humble beginnings
3243: of just being 'a patchy' set of changes to a completely free
3244: web server of dubious quality. But the years have changed them,
3245: and what they supply is now quite non-free... released under
1.40 jolan 3246: a license so entangled in legalese that we have absolutely no
1.51 jcs 3247: doubt that there are encumbrances hidden within. Legal terms
1.37 deraadt 3248: protect. Who are they protecting? Not your freedom.
3249: </ul>
3250: So here's a goodbye to those three groups, and a warning to any
3251: others who will follow them:
3252: Make your stuff non-free, and something else will
3253: replace it.

3391: the only real way to do that is to use multicast protocols.
3392: <p>
3393: The IETF community proposed work in this direction in the late
3394: 90's, however in 1997 Cisco informed them that they believed some of
3395: Cisco's patents covered the proposed IETF VRRP (Virtual Router
3396: Redundancy Protocol); on
3397: <a href="http://www.ietf.org/ietf/IPR/VRRP-CISCO">
3398: March 20, 1998 they went further and specifically named their HSRP
3399: "Hot Standby Router Protocol" patent</a>. Reputedly, they were upset
3400: that IETF had not simply adopted the flawed HSRP protocol as the
3401: standard solution for this problem. Despite this legal pressure, the
3402: IETF community forged ahead and published VRRP as a standard even
3403: though there was a patent in the space. Why?
1.144 deraadt 3404: <a href="http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/doc/ietf/vrrp/vrrp-minutes-97dec.txt">
1.30 deraadt 3405: There was much deliberation</a>
3406: at all levels of the IETF, and unfortunately for all of us the
3407: politicians within eventually decided to allow patented technology in
3408: standards -- as long as the patented technology is licensed under RAND
3409: (Reasonable And Non Discriminatory) terms. As free software
3410: programmers, we therefore find ourselves in the position that these
3411: RAND standards must not be implemented by us, and we must deviate from
3412: the standard. We find all this rather Unreasonable and Discriminatory
3413: and we *will* design competing protocols. Some standards organization,
3414: eh?
3415: <p>
3416: Due to some HSRP flaws fixed by VRRP and for compatibility with the
3417: (HSRP-licensed) VRRP implementations of their competitors, Cisco in
3418: recent times has largely abandoned HSRP and now relies on VRRP instead
3419: -- a protocol designed for and by the community, but for which they
3420: claim patent rights.
3421: <p>
3422: On August 7 2002, after many communications, Robert Barr (Cisco's
3423: lawyer) firmly informed the OpenBSD community that Cisco would defend
3424: its patents for VRRP implementations -- meaning basically that it was
3425: impossible for a free software group to produce a truly free
3426: implementation of the IETF standard protocol. Perhaps this is because
3427: Cisco and Alcatel are currently engaged in a pair of patent lawsuits; a
3428: small piece of which is Cisco attempting to use the HSRP patent
3429: against Alcatel for their use of VRRP. Some IETF working group
3430: members took note of our complaints,
1.122 deraadt 3431: <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20061109082106/http://lists.microshaft.org/pipermail/dmca_discuss/2003-April/004702.html">
1.30 deraadt 3432: however an attempt in April 2003 to have the IETF abandon the use of
3433: patented technology failed to "reach consensus" in the IETF</a>.
3434: <p>
3435: A few years ago, the W3C, who designs our web protocols, tried to move
3436: to a RAND policy as well (primarily because of pressure from Microsoft
3437: and Apple), but the community outrage was so overpowering that they
3438: backed down. Some standards groups use this policy, while others
3439: avoid it -- the one differentiation being the amount of corporate
1.55 tom 3440: participation. In the IETF, the pro-RAND agents work for AT&T,
1.30 deraadt 3441: Alcatel, IBM, Cisco, Microsoft, and other large companies. Since IETF
3442: is an open forum, they can blend in as the populace, and vote just
3443: like all others, except against the community.
3444: <p>
3445: Translation: In failing to "reach consensus", the companies who
3446: benefit from RAND won, and the community lost again.
3447: <p>
3448: Left with little choice, we proceeded to reinvent the wheel or, more
3449: correctly, abandon the wheel entirely and go for a "hovercraft". We
3450: designed CARP (Common Address Redundancy Protocol) to solve the same
3451: problem that these other protocols are designed for, but without the
3452: same technological basis as HSRP and VRRP. We read the patent
3453: document carefully and ensured that CARP was fundamentally different.
3454: We also avoided many of the flaws in HSRP and VRRP (such as an inherent
3455: lack of security). And since we are OpenBSD developers, we designed
3456: it to use cryptography.
3457: <p>
3458: The combination of
1.168 sthen 3459: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>,
3460: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>, and
3461: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=carp&sektion=4">carp(4)</a>
1.30 deraadt 3462: has permitted us to build highly redundant firewalls. To date, we
3463: have built a few networks that include as many as 4 firewalls, all
3464: running random reboot cycles. As long as one firewall is alive in a
3465: group, traffic through them moves smoothly and correctly for all of
3466: our packet filter functionality. Cisco's low end products are unable
3467: to do this reliably, and if they have high end products which can do
3468: this, you most certainly cannot afford them.
3469: <p>
3470: As a final note of course, when we petitioned IANA, the IETF body
3471: regulating "official" internet protocol numbers, to give us numbers
3472: for CARP and pfsync our request was denied. Apparently we had failed
3473: to go through an official standards organization. Consequently we
3474: were forced to choose a protocol number which would not conflict with
3475: anything else of value, and decided to place CARP at IP protocol 112.
3476: We also placed pfsync at an open and unused number. We informed IANA of
3477: these decisions, but they declined to reply.
3478: <p>
3479: This ridiculous situation then inspired one of our developers to create
3480: this parody of the well-known Monty Python skit and song.

3771: <br>
3772: As we did for the 3.3 release, we have once again tried
3773: making release artwork and music which are allegorical
3774: of recent happenings.
3775: <p>
3776: Two years ago we became involved with the University
3777: of Pennsylvania and DARPA, who were funding us to do
3778: security research and development .. on things that
3779: we were already intending to do. We provided ideas,
3780: wrote papers, and deployed cutting-edge technology;
3781: DARPA provided finances and reaped a share of the
3782: credit, and the University of Pennsylvania acted as
3783: a middle-man. We accepted funding based on the
3784: promise that our freedom to operate as we wished
3785: was unaffected. To us, freedom is more important
1.21 deraadt 3786: than funding -- heck, we were dealing with the evil
1.20 deraadt 3787: forces of government, and needed to be careful.
3788: <p>
3789: A few months prior to this release, DARPA suddenly
3790: and without warning decided to withdraw that funding;
3791: they also aggressively backed out of contractual
1.185 tj 3792: obligations. Many articles in the press followed regarding
1.67 jolan 3793: this sudden maneuver. Apparently this hoopla happened
1.20 deraadt 3794: because an OpenBSD-related article in the Canadian
1.55 tom 3795: newspaper The Globe & Mail had quoted Theo de Raadt
1.20 deraadt 3796: making anti-war statements regarding Iraq and the
3797: theft of oil.
3798: <p>
3799: The only answer given (to major media reporters) by a
3800: DARPA spokesperson (Jan Walker) was this:
3801: <p>
3802: "As a result of the DARPA review of the
3803: project, and due to world events and the evolving
3804: threat posed by increasingly capable nation-states,
3805: the Government on April 21 advised the University
3806: to suspend work on the "security fest" portion of
3807: the project."
3808: <p>
3809: That almost toes the line of calling us terrorists!
3810: We had lost financial support, but the release of the
3811: statement above suddenly made us very happy to be free
3812: of any perceived obligation to such crazy people.
3813: <p>
3814: Since the termination came near natural contract
3815: termination (about 4 months remained), less damage
3816: than expected was sustained by the project. Sponsors
3817: stepped forward and helped us make up the missing funds
3818: we needed to run our "Hackathon", and the event
1.61 grunk 3819: proceeded as planned. We even had T-shirts made with
1.20 deraadt 3820: "Workstations of Mass Development" artwork for those
3821: developers who attended (sorry, they are not for sale).
