1.146     guenther  990: After a year of work it was ready enough for merging, and in August 2013
                    991: the <b>time_t</b> type was changed to int64_t on all

                   2014: (basically AT&T) sued BSDi and UCB.
                   2015: Eventually AT&T lost and after a few trifling fixes (described in the

                   2017: (and more free code) were added, and released in June 1994 as 4.4BSD-Lite.

                   2151: onboard and continued their journey to New Orleans.  A few

1.90      deraadt  2302: available to those who will surrender their moral code.  A project
                   2303: could compromise by entering into NDA agreements with vendors, or

                   2307: of the ideals, and we simply will not do this.  Sure, we care about
                   2308: getting devices working, but not at the expense of our original goals.

                   2318: than people seem to know, and when they do, they're always still

                   2323: stuff so free so that everyone can benefit -- it remains a core goal;
                   2324: we really have not strayed at all in 10 years.  But we can expect more
                   2325: from projects who talk about sharing -- such as the various Linux
                   2326: projects.
                   2327: <p>
                   2328: Now rather than seeing us as friends who can cooperatively improve all
                   2329: codebases, we are seen as foes who oppose the GPL.  The participants
                   2330: of "the race" are being manipulated by the FSF and their legal arm, the
                   2331: SFLC, for the FSF's aims, rather than the goal of getting good source
                   2332: into Linux (and all other code bases).  We don't want this to come off
                   2333: as some conspiracy theory, but we simply urge those developers caution
                   2334: -- they should ensure that the path they are being shown by those who
                   2335: have positioned themselves as leaders is still true.  Run for yourself,
                   2336: not for their agenda.
                   2337: <p>
                   2338: The Race is there to be run, for ourselves, not for others.  We do
                   2339: what we do to run our own race, and finish it the best we can.  We
                   2340: don't rush off at every distraction, or worry how this will affect our
                   2341: image.  We are here to have fun doing right.

                   2441: As developers of a free operating system, one of our prime responsibilities
                   2442: is device support.  No matter how nice an operating system is, it remains
                   2443: useless and unusable without solid support for a wide percentage of the
                   2444: hardware that is available on the market.  It is therefore rather unsurprising
                   2445: that more than half of our efforts focus on various aspects relating to
                   2446: device support.
                   2447: <p>
1.85      mbalmer  2448: Most parts of the operating system (from low kernel, through to libraries,
1.81      deraadt  2449: all the way up to X, and then even to applications) use fairly obvious
                   2450: interface layers, where the "communication protocols" or "argument passing"
                   2451: mechanisms (ie. APIs) can be understood by any developer who takes the
                   2452: time to read the free code.  Device drivers pose an additional and significant
                   2453: challenge though: because many vendors refuse to document the exact behavior
                   2454: of their devices.  The devices are black boxes.  And often they are surprisingly
                   2455: weird, or even buggy.
                   2456: <p>
                   2457: When vendor documentation does not exist, the development process can
                   2458: become extremely hairy.  Groups of developers have found themselves focused
                   2459: for months at a time, figuring out the most simple steps, simply because
                   2460: the hardware is a complete mystery.  Access to documentation can ease
                   2461: these difficulties rapidly.  However, getting access to the chip documentation
                   2462: from vendors is ... almost always a negotiation.  If we had open access to
1.84      matthieu 2463: documentation, anyone would be able to see how simple all these devices
1.81      deraadt  2464: actually are, and device driver development would flourish (and not just in

                   2469: and that selling chips would be the primary focus of these vendors.  But
                   2470: unfortunately a number of behemoth software vendors have spent the last 10 or

                   3008: For a multitude of (stupid) reasons, vendors often attempt to lock
                   3009: out our participation with their customers by refusing to give our
                   3010: programmers sufficient documentation so that we can properly support
                   3011: their devices.
                   3012: <p>
                   3013: Take Adaptec for instance.  Before the 3.7 release we disabled support
                   3014: for the
1.168     sthen    3015: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=aac&amp;sektion=4">aac(4)</a>
1.58      deraadt  3016: Adaptec RAID driver because negotiations with the Adaptec had failed.
                   3017: They refused to give us documentation.  Without documentation, support
                   3018: for their controller had always been poor.  The driver had bugs (which
                   3019: affected some users more than others) which caused crashes, and of
                   3020: course there was no RAID management support.  Apparently most of these
1.59      jolan    3021: bugs are because the Adaptec controllers have numerous buggy firmware
                   3022: issues which require careful workarounds; without documentation we
                   3023: cannot solve these issues.
1.58      deraadt  3024: <p>
                   3025: The driver was written by an OpenBSD developer, who cribbed parts
                   3026: of it from a FreeBSD driver written by an ex-Adaptec employee.  But no
                   3027: public documentation exists, and Adaptec has dozens of cards with
                   3028: different firmware issues. All of this adds up to a very desperate
                   3029: development model -- it becomes very hard for the principle of
                   3030: "quality" to show its head.
                   3031: <p>
                   3032: RAID devices have two main qualities that people buy them for:
                   3033: <br>
                   3034: <ul>
1.60      pvalchev 3035: <li>Redundancy
1.58      deraadt  3036: <li>Repair
                   3037: </ul>
                   3038: You want a RAID unit to provide you with redundancy, so that if some drives
1.60      pvalchev 3039: fail, your data is not lost.  But once a drive has failed, you require your
                   3040: array to (automatically, most likely) perform the operations to repair
1.58      deraadt  3041: itself, so that it is functioning perfectly again.
                   3042: <p>
                   3043: Some vendors (or like the above Adaptec case, ex-employee) have
                   3044: sometimes given us some documentation so that we could write drivers,
                   3045: so that their devices could support Redundancy.  But these vendors have
                   3046: never given us any documentation for performing Repairs.
                   3047: <p>
                   3048: Instead these vendors have tried to pass out non-free RAID management
                   3049: tools.  These are typically gigantic Linux binaries, or some crazy thing, that
1.67      jolan    3050: is supposed to work through a bizarre interface in the device driver, which
1.58      deraadt  3051: we are apparently supposed to write code for without any documentation.
                   3052: <p>
                   3053: And since we refuse to accept our users being forced into depending on
                   3054: vendor binaries, we have reverse engineered the management interface for
                   3055: the AMI controllers.
                   3056: <p>
                   3057: There is no great "intellectual property" in this stuff, it is all
                   3058: rather simple primitives.  This is all that we need to implement
                   3059: basic RAID management:
                   3060: <ul>
                   3061: <li>SCSI transactions on the back-side busses
                   3062: <li>Discovering which drives are in which volumes
                   3063: <li>Being able to silence the buzzer
                   3064: <li>Marking a new drive as a Hot-Spare
                   3065: </ul>
                   3066: <p>
                   3067: The AMI driver needed to support these small primitive operations.
                   3068: And once we had that, we rely on something else which we know: Almost
                   3069: all the RAID controllers would need the same primitives.
                   3070: <p>
                   3071: Thus armed, we were able to write a generic framework which would later
                   3072: work on other vendors' RAID cards, that is, once we get documentation
                   3073: or do some reverse engineering for their products.
                   3074: <p>
1.60      pvalchev 3075: But having been ignored for so long by these vendors, it is not clear when (if
                   3076: ever) we will get around to writing that support for Adaptec RAID
1.58      deraadt  3077: controllers now.  And Adaptec has gone and bought ICP Vortex, which
                   3078: may mean we can never get documentation for the

1.58      deraadt  3080: controllers.
                   3081: The "Open Source Friendly liar" IBM owns Mylex, and Mylex has told us we
                   3082: would not get documentation, either.
                   3083: 3Ware has lied to us and our users so many times they make politicians
                   3084: look saintly.
                   3085: <p>
                   3086: Until other vendors give us documentation, if you want reliable RAID

                   3354: <ul>
                   3355: <li>David Dawes worked for years with a team of
                   3356: developers to make a free X11 distribution for us to use,
                   3357: called XFree86, 98% of which was based on entirely free
                   3358: code from MIT. Suddenly, one day, he decided that
                   3359: we must give him more credit (ie. advertise his name) or
                   3360: stop using it.  Within about 4 months every project had
                   3361: told him to get stuffed, and the community has created a
                   3362: replacement effort.
1.41      deraadt  3363: Now his team cannot even keep their web pages up to date...
1.37      deraadt  3364: <p>
                   3365: <li>OpenBSD was the first operating system to integrate a
                   3366: packet filter, and it was the ipf codebase from Darren Reed
                   3367: that we chose.  But a few years later he told us that we
                   3368: were not free to make changes to the code.  So we deleted ipf,
                   3369: and our new packet filter far exceeds the capabilities of the
                   3370: one he wrote. And other projects are switching too...
                   3371: <p>
                   3372: <li>The Apache group started from the humble beginnings
                   3373: of just being 'a patchy' set of changes to a completely free
                   3374: web server of dubious quality.  But the years have changed them,
                   3375: and what they supply is now quite non-free... released under
1.40      jolan    3376: a license so entangled in legalese that we have absolutely no
1.51      jcs      3377: doubt that there are encumbrances hidden within.  Legal terms

                   3382: Make your stuff non-free, and something else will
