25: Every 6 months the OpenBSD project has the pleasure to release
1.197 tj 26: our software 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
1.197 tj 30: over the previous six months. To match the art released with the
31: historical CD sets, we joined up with some musicians we know to make
32: at least one song.

122: In OpenBSD developer circles few memes carry as strongly as "The 3
123: line diff". This is a humorous warning, but also a true story. More
124: than half the developers ("the new kids") don't know this story but
125: still repeat the meme -- it has nearly become apocrypha.
126: <p>
127: Unfortunately, in software development not all problems are as trivial
128: as we think.
129: <p>
130: The event happened at a hackathon in Portugal more than a decade ago.
131: <p>
132: In a eureka moment Art declared he had found a stunningly simple
133: solution for a problem long pondered, and he could fix it in 2 -- no
134: -- 3 lines. In the following weeks his change grew larger and larger,
135: introducing (or exposing) other problems. We stood and stared. It
136: was far from a 3 line diff, and was eventually discarded.
137: <p>
138: I am not writing words of mockery here. This is a common occurance in
139: complex software development. To do great things, we must reach for
140: the sky. Sometimes we fail, and quite often it is messy.
141: <p>
142: There is of course a danger we'll believe we are invincible, and push
143: a change which is too disruptive to others. For that reason, we
144: operate as a team. We can try to avoid hubris.
145: <p>
146: Therefore to this day posing a question like "And you can fix the
147: problem in 3 lines?" is a humorous way of keeping each other honest.

153: A tale of a fateful diff,<br>
154: That started on a set of stairs<br>
155: Right by a pizza joint.<br>
156: <br>
157: Art was a mighty coding man,<br>
158: And he was mighty sure<br>
159: The only change that was required<br>
160: Was a three-line diff, a three-line diff.<br>

164: Despite the confidence of the programmers<br>
165: The system would then crash,<br>
166: the system always crashed.<br>

178: They've been here for 20 years.<br>
179: They'll have to do the best they can,<br>
180: It's an endless task.<br>
181: <br>
182: Grabowski and the others too<br>
183: Will do their very best<br>
184: To get the changes into prod<br>
185: It is an epic slog,<br>
186: <br>
187: No QEMU, only DDB,<br>
188: Not a single luxury,<br>
189: Like Ritchie and Thompson did<br>

1.202 deraadt 221: OpenBSD was only a few months old when
222: we realized that read-only repository access
223: for everyone was a critical concept.
224: <p>
225: Previously, open source projects would make
226: occasional releases accompanied by tarballs of
227: final source files and Changelogs files, but would
228: not expose the step-by-step changes of the
229: development process. Unwittingly all open source
230: projects were operating with a walled garden
231: approach.
232: <p>
233: Chuck Cranor and I worked on the anoncvs feature, and
234: Bob Beck soon became involved in moving the anoncvs
235: mirror off my overloaded ISDN network to the
236: University of Alberta, thereby increasing our capacity
237: to deliver. Nowadays there are many anoncvs mirrors.
238: <p>
239: The introduction of anoncvs meant people without commit
240: access could read the commit logs, as well as each
241: committed diff. They could reason about the past as
242: they proposed new changes.
243: <p>
244: Anoncvs had an immediate impact expanding our development
245: group. We were inundated with high quality diffs. These
246: outsider developers wrote excellent changes because they had
247: sufficient context to reason upon. Those who overwhelmed us
248: with good changes became developers with commit access. We
249: were forced to hand out commit accounts like candy.
250: <p>
251: Some people said we would never last. Their cynicism
252: could almost be thanked for the increase in openness
253: we embraced, and then our openness probably led others
254: to embrace it also.

574: As the author of a number of the OpenBSD songs, I'll admit that
575: sometimes it's a bit of a chore. Theo bugs me to help him out, often
576: with a theme, and eventually I relent and devote an evening to it.
577: <p>
578: One of the things that we're passionate about is making changes to the
579: software ecosystem that make things safer for all of us - not just
580: OpenBSD. Very often we try techniques, and adopt practices on OpenBSD
581: to make things better across the ecosystem, and hope to encourage
582: others to follow our lead.
583: <p>
584: We've had a lot of great success upstreaming changes and ideas to
585: individual projects, often through the diligent work of the OpenBSD
586: ports developers. We've had less success promoting things up through
587: standards bodies and other projects. Too often the world seems caught
588: up in a seemingly suicidal "backward compatibility forever" fervor,
589: exacerbated by standards bodies populated by corporate represention
590: that does not want to make any kinds of disruptive changes that might
591: cause expense.
592: <p>
593: This time, once Theo put the bug in my ear, it didn't take me very
594: long. I pondered our recent efforts to fix random functions via
595: standards bodies, and considered the real possibility of my being
596: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160304081847/https://lwn.net/Articles/563285/">
597: harmed by the failure of an embedded 32 bit linux device in 2038</a>,

1057: We've done stuff about LibreSSL before, but this particular song just
1058: fit with the release theme. While the lyrics can speak for themselves,
1059: "A Year In The Life" is representative of more than just LibreSSL. The
1060: pattern of LibreSSL development is a pattern that has repeated itself
1061: many times in OpenBSD -- a decision is made by a few people to do
1062: something, followed by action, and letting the world share it if they
1063: like it (such as with OpenSSH). To the developers actually doing the
1064: work, reactions to such efforts can often seem surreal, or
1065: irrelevant. The juxtaposition of working on the very real with the

1257: The next part of the process was to drag the "ports" software
1.146 guenther 1258: ecosystem along because no one else had paved the way for 32-bit
1.144 deraadt 1259: machines to run with 64-bit <b>time_t</b>. This required a fair
1260: bit of upstream involvement. Thousands of fixes were required to
1261: make both 32-bit and 64-bit time work transparently. There will
1262: be more fixing in the future, but the concept is proven.
1263: <p>
1264: In the past OpenBSD pushed risky theoretical ideas into mainstream
1265: software practice by proving the ecosystem was ready to change.
1266: No OS wants to make a ABI jump until the case for change is proven.
1267: Stack protection, ASLR, and W^X principles are now in common use
1268: by mainline operating systems... because things like Firefox
1269: and Postgresql don't break anymore. OpenBSD built that route.
1270: <p>
1271: In the same way, the road is paved for the 64-bit <b>time_t</b>
1272: transition. Other operating systems can now make this jump.

1456: with particular distributions of Linux. From this we get software that
1457: not only isn't very portable, but often not particularly stable. Our

1809: The <a href="#44">OpenBSD 4.4 release artwork</a> honoured
1810: the (Berkeley) CSRG guys for their efforts with the BSD 4.4
1811: release -- they fought and managed to free the code.<br>
1812: <br>
1813: This release the artwork is based on the stories of Douglas Adams,
1814: including his favorite number -- 42. Therefore we can remember
1815: the previous major achievement of CSRG - BSD 4.2.<br>
1816: <br>
1817: BSD 4.2 was
1818: not free, but it created and integrated so many new
1819: technologies that we all depend on today. Take a moment
1820: to consider how many things first available in BSD 4.2 you are using
1821: at this moment, to read this page -- sockets, AF_INET,
1822: virtual memory, etc.<br>
1823: <br>
1824: Today, new releases of operating systems from well-known vendors
1825: contain less new features than BSD 4.2 did.<br>
1826: <br>

2232: Nearly 10 years ago Kirk McKusick wrote a history of
2233: the Berkeley Unix distributions for the
1.121 deraadt 2234: O'Reilly book "Open Sources: Voices from the Open Source Revolution".
1.104 deraadt 2235: We recommend you read his story, entitled
2236: <a href="http://oreilly.com/catalog/opensources/book/kirkmck.html">
2237: "Twenty Years of Berkeley Unix
2238: From AT&T-Owned to Freely Redistributable"</a>
2239: first, to see how Kirk remembers how we got here.
2240: Sadly, since it showed up in book form originally, this text has
2241: probably not been read by enough people.
2242: <br>
2243: <br>
2244: The USL(AT&T) vs BSDI/UCB court case settlement documents were
2245: not public until recently; their disclosure has made the facts more clear.
2246: But the story of how three people decided to free the BSD codebase
2247: of corporate pollution -- and release it freely -- is more interesting
2248: than the lawsuit which followed. Sure, a stupid lawsuit happened which
2249: hindered the acceptance of the BSD code during a critical period.
2250: But how did a bunch of guys go through the effort of replacing so
2251: much AT&T code in the first place? After all, companies had
2252: lots of really evil lawyers back then too -- were they not afraid?
2253: <br>
2254: <br>
2255: After a decade of development, most of the AT&T code had
2256: already been replaced by university researchers and their associates.
2257: So Keith Bostic, Mike Karels and Kirk McKusick (the main UCB CSRG group)
2258: started going through the 4.3BSD codebase to cleanse the rest.
2259: Keith, in particular, built a ragtag team (in those days, USENIX
2260: conferences were a gold mine for such team building) and led these
2261: rebels to rewrite and replace all the Imperial AT&T code, piece by
2262: piece, starting with the libraries and userland programs.
2263: Anyone who helped only got credit as a Contributor -- people like
2264: Chris Torek and a cast of .. hundreds more.
2265: <br>
2266: <br>
1.105 deraadt 2267: Then Mike and Kirk purified the kernel. After a bit more careful
1.104 deraadt 2268: checking, this led to the release of a clean tree called Net/2 which
2269: was given to the world in June 1991 -- the largest dump of free source
2270: code the world had ever received (for those days -- not modern monsters like OpenOffice).
2271: <br>
2272: <br>
2273: Some of these ragtags formed a company (BSDi) to sell a production system
2274: based on this free code base, and a year later Unix System Laboratories
2275: (basically AT&T) sued BSDi and UCB.
2276: Eventually AT&T lost and after a few trifling fixes (described in the
2277: lawsuit documents) the codebase was free. A few newer developments
2278: (and more free code) were added, and released in June 1994 as 4.4BSD-Lite.
2279: Just over 14 years later OpenBSD is releasing its own 4.4 release (and for
1.207 deraadt 2280: a lot less than $1000 per copy).
1.104 deraadt 2281: <br>
2282: <br>
2283: The OpenBSD 4.4 release is dedicated to Keith Bostic, Mike Karels, Kirk McKusick,
2284: and all of those who contributed to making Net/2 and 4.4BSD-Lite free.

2336: <br>
2337: And to this day the geekfolk say<br>
2338: Now did we win or lose?<br>
2339: They shoulda made 'em reprint<br>

2341: <br>

2355: exposing hypocrites<br>
2356: <br>
2357: And OpenBSD is here<br>
2358: to tell the story right<br>
2359: Once again the fight is fought<br>
2360: and kept in shining light<br>
2361: <br>

2401: <br>
2402: <br>
2403: In 1998 when a United Airlines plane was waiting in the queue at
1.102 deraadt 2404: Washington Dulles International Airport for take-off to New Orleans
2405: (where a Usenix conference was taking place), one man stood up from
2406: his seat, demanded that they stop waiting in the queue and be permitted
1.95 deraadt 2407: to deplane. Even after orders from the crew and a pilot from
2408: the cockpit he refused to sit down. The plane exited the queue
1.96 deraadt 2409: and returned to the airport gangway. Security personnel ran onto
1.95 deraadt 2410: the plane and removed this man, Richard Stallman, from the plane.
2411: After Richard was removed from the plane, everyone else stayed
2412: onboard and continued their journey to New Orleans. A few
2413: OpenBSD developers were on that same plane, seated very closeby,
2414: so we have an accurate story of the events.
2415: <br>
2416: <br>
2417: This is the man who presumes that he should preach to us
2418: about morality, freedom, and what is best for us. He believes
2419: it is his God-given role to tell us what is best for us, when he
2420: has shown that he takes actions which are not best for everyone.
2421: He prefers actions which he thinks are best for him -- and him
2422: alone -- and then lies to the public. Richard Stallman is no Spock.
2423: <br>
2424: <br>
2425: We release our software in ways that are maximally free. We
2426: remove all restrictions on use and distribution, but leave a
2427: requirement to be known as the authors. We follow a pattern of
2428: free source code distribution that started in the mid-1980's
2429: in Berkeley, from before Richard Stallman had any powerful
2430: influence which he could use so falsely.
2431: <br>
2432: <br>
2433: We have a development sub-tree called "ports". Our "ports" tree
2434: builds software that is 'found on the net' into packages that
2435: OpenBSD users can use more easily. A scaffold of Makefiles and
2436: scripts automatically fetch these pieces of software, apply
2437: patches as required by OpenBSD, and then build them into nice
2438: neat little tarballs. This is provided as a convenience for
1.97 okan 2439: users. The ports tree is maintained by OpenBSD entirely separately
1.95 deraadt 2440: from our main source tree. Some of the software which is fetched
2441: and compiled is not as free as we would like, but what can we do.
2442: All the other operating system projects make exactly the same
2443: decision, and provide these same conveniences to their users.
2444: <br>
2445: <br>
2446: Richard felt that this "ports tree" of ours made OpenBSD non-free.
2447: He came to our mailing lists and lectured to us specifically, yet
2448: he said nothing to the many other vendors who do the same; many of
2449: them donate to the FSF and perhaps that has something to do with it.
2450: Meanwhile, Richard has personally made sure that all the official
2451: GNU software -- including Emacs -- compiles and runs on Windows.
2452: <br>
2453: <br>
2454: That man is a false leader. He is a hypocrite. There may be some
2455: people who listen to him. But we don't listen to people who do not
2456: follow their own stupid rules.

2566: code exists, or tying their users down with contract terms hidden
2567: inside copyright notices. All of these choices surrender some subset
2568: of the ideals, and we simply will not do this. Sure, we care about
2569: getting devices working, but not at the expense of our original goals.
2570: <p>
2571: Of course since "free to share with anyone" is part of our goals,
2572: we've been at the forefront of many licensing and NDA issues,
1.91 merdely 2573: resulting in a good number of successes. This success had led to much
1.90 deraadt 2574: recognition for the advancement of Free Software causes, but has also
2575: led to other issues.
2576: <p>
2577: We fully admit that some BSD licensed software has been taken and used
2578: by many commercial entities, but contributions come back more often
2579: than people seem to know, and when they do, they're always still
2580: properly attributed to the original authors, and given back in the
2581: same spirit that they were given in the first place.
2582: <p>
2583: That's the best we can expect from companies. After all, we make our
2584: stuff so free so that everyone can benefit -- it remains a core goal;
2585: we really have not strayed at all in 10 years. But we can expect more
2586: from projects who talk about sharing -- such as the various Linux
2587: projects.
2588: <p>
2589: Now rather than seeing us as friends who can cooperatively improve all
2590: codebases, we are seen as foes who oppose the GPL. The participants
2591: of "the race" are being manipulated by the FSF and their legal arm, the
2592: SFLC, for the FSF's aims, rather than the goal of getting good source
2593: into Linux (and all other code bases). We don't want this to come off
2594: as some conspiracy theory, but we simply urge those developers caution
2595: -- they should ensure that the path they are being shown by those who
2596: have positioned themselves as leaders is still true. Run for yourself,
2597: not for their agenda.
2598: <p>
2599: The Race is there to be run, for ourselves, not for others. We do
2600: what we do to run our own race, and finish it the best we can. We
2601: don't rush off at every distraction, or worry how this will affect our
2602: image. We are here to have fun doing right.

2702: As developers of a free operating system, one of our prime responsibilities
2703: is device support. No matter how nice an operating system is, it remains
2704: useless and unusable without solid support for a wide percentage of the
2705: hardware that is available on the market. It is therefore rather unsurprising
2706: that more than half of our efforts focus on various aspects relating to
2707: device support.
2708: <p>
1.85 mbalmer 2709: Most parts of the operating system (from low kernel, through to libraries,
1.81 deraadt 2710: all the way up to X, and then even to applications) use fairly obvious
2711: interface layers, where the "communication protocols" or "argument passing"
2712: mechanisms (ie. APIs) can be understood by any developer who takes the
2713: time to read the free code. Device drivers pose an additional and significant
2714: challenge though: because many vendors refuse to document the exact behavior
2715: of their devices. The devices are black boxes. And often they are surprisingly
2716: weird, or even buggy.
2717: <p>
2718: When vendor documentation does not exist, the development process can
2719: become extremely hairy. Groups of developers have found themselves focused
2720: for months at a time, figuring out the most simple steps, simply because
2721: the hardware is a complete mystery. Access to documentation can ease
2722: these difficulties rapidly. However, getting access to the chip documentation
2723: from vendors is ... almost always a negotiation. If we had open access to
1.84 matthieu 2724: documentation, anyone would be able to see how simple all these devices
1.81 deraadt 2725: actually are, and device driver development would flourish (and not just in
2726: OpenBSD, either).
2727: <p>
2728: When we proceed into negotiations with vendors, asking for documentation,
2729: our position is often weak. One would assume that the modern market is fair,
2730: and that selling chips would be the primary focus of these vendors. But
2731: unfortunately a number of behemoth software vendors have spent the last 10 or
2732: 20 years building

1.81 deraadt 2734: political hurdles against the smaller players</a>.
2735: <p>
1.82 jsg 2736: A particularly nasty player in this regard has been the Linux vendors and
1.87 tom 2737: some Linux developers, who have played along with an American corporate model
1.81 deraadt 2738: of requiring NDAs for chip documentation. This has effectively put Linux
2739: into the club with Microsoft, but has left all the other operating system
2740: communities -- and their developers -- with much less available clout for
2741: requesting documentation. In a more fair world, the Linux vendors would
2742: work with us, and the device driver support in all free operating systems

3088: OpenBSD emphasizes security. It also emphasizes openness. All the code
3089: is there for all to see. Blobs are vendor-compiled binary drivers
3090: without any source code. Hardware makers like them because they
3091: obscure the details of how to make their hardware work. They hide bugs
3092: and workarounds for bugs. Newer versions of blobs can weaken support
3093: for older hardware and motivate people to buy new hardware.<br>
3094: <br>
3095: <br>
3096: Blobs are expedient. Many other open source operating systems
3097: cheerfully incorporate them; in fact their users demand them.<br>
3098: <br>
3099: <br>
3100: But when you need to trust the system, how do you check the blob for
3101: quality? For adherence to standards? How do you know the blob contains
3102: no malicious code? No incompetent code? Inspection is impossible; you
3103: can only test the black box. And when it breaks, you have no idea why.<br>
3104: <br>
3105: <br>
3106: <ul>
3107: <li>Blobs can be 'de-supported' by vendors<br>
3108: at any time.<br>
3109: <br>
3110: <li>Blobs cannot be supported by developers.<br>
3111: <br>
3112: <li>Blobs cannot be fixed by developers.<br>
3113: <br>
3114: <li>Blobs cannot be improved.<br>
3115: <br>
3116: <li>Blobs cannot be audited.<br>
3117: <br>
3118: <li>
3119: Blobs are specific to an architecture, thus<br>
3120: less portable.<br>
3121: <br>
3122: <li>Blobs are quite often massively bloated.<br>
3123: </ul>
3124: <br>
3125: <br>
3126: This release, like every OpenBSD release, contains OpenBSD and its
3127: source code. It runs on a wide variety of hardware. It contains many
3128: new features and improvements. OpenBSD does attempt to convince
3129: vendors to release documentation, and often reverse-engineers around
3130: the need for blobs. OpenBSD remains blob-free. Anyone can look at it,
1.157 deraadt 3131: assess it, improve it. If it breaks, it can be fixed.

3269: For a multitude of (stupid) reasons, vendors often attempt to lock
3270: out our participation with their customers by refusing to give our
3271: programmers sufficient documentation so that we can properly support
3272: their devices.
3273: <p>
3274: Take Adaptec for instance. Before the 3.7 release we disabled support
3275: for the
1.204 tb 3276: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=aac&sektion=4">aac(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 3277: Adaptec RAID driver because negotiations with the Adaptec had failed.
3278: They refused to give us documentation. Without documentation, support
3279: for their controller had always been poor. The driver had bugs (which
3280: affected some users more than others) which caused crashes, and of
3281: course there was no RAID management support. Apparently most of these
1.59 jolan 3282: bugs are because the Adaptec controllers have numerous buggy firmware
3283: issues which require careful workarounds; without documentation we
3284: cannot solve these issues.
1.58 deraadt 3285: <p>
3286: The driver was written by an OpenBSD developer, who cribbed parts
3287: of it from a FreeBSD driver written by an ex-Adaptec employee. But no
3288: public documentation exists, and Adaptec has dozens of cards with
3289: different firmware issues. All of this adds up to a very desperate
3290: development model -- it becomes very hard for the principle of
3291: "quality" to show its head.
3292: <p>
3293: RAID devices have two main qualities that people buy them for:
3294: <br>
3295: <ul>
1.60 pvalchev 3296: <li>Redundancy
1.58 deraadt 3297: <li>Repair
3298: </ul>
3299: You want a RAID unit to provide you with redundancy, so that if some drives
1.60 pvalchev 3300: fail, your data is not lost. But once a drive has failed, you require your
3301: array to (automatically, most likely) perform the operations to repair
1.58 deraadt 3302: itself, so that it is functioning perfectly again.
3303: <p>
3304: Some vendors (or like the above Adaptec case, ex-employee) have
3305: sometimes given us some documentation so that we could write drivers,
3306: so that their devices could support Redundancy. But these vendors have
3307: never given us any documentation for performing Repairs.
3308: <p>
3309: Instead these vendors have tried to pass out non-free RAID management
3310: tools. These are typically gigantic Linux binaries, or some crazy thing, that
1.67 jolan 3311: is supposed to work through a bizarre interface in the device driver, which
1.58 deraadt 3312: we are apparently supposed to write code for without any documentation.
3313: <p>
3314: And since we refuse to accept our users being forced into depending on
3315: vendor binaries, we have reverse engineered the management interface for
3316: the AMI controllers.
3317: <p>
3318: There is no great "intellectual property" in this stuff, it is all
3319: rather simple primitives. This is all that we need to implement
3320: basic RAID management:
3321: <ul>
3322: <li>SCSI transactions on the back-side busses
3323: <li>Discovering which drives are in which volumes
3324: <li>Being able to silence the buzzer
3325: <li>Marking a new drive as a Hot-Spare
3326: </ul>
3327: <p>
3328: The AMI driver needed to support these small primitive operations.
3329: And once we had that, we rely on something else which we know: Almost
3330: all the RAID controllers would need the same primitives.
3331: <p>
3332: Thus armed, we were able to write a generic framework which would later
3333: work on other vendors' RAID cards, that is, once we get documentation
3334: or do some reverse engineering for their products.
3335: <p>
1.60 pvalchev 3336: But having been ignored for so long by these vendors, it is not clear when (if
3337: ever) we will get around to writing that support for Adaptec RAID
1.58 deraadt 3338: controllers now. And Adaptec has gone and bought ICP Vortex, which
3339: may mean we can never get documentation for the
1.204 tb 3340: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=gdt&sektion=4">gdt(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 3341: controllers.
3342: The "Open Source Friendly liar" IBM owns Mylex, and Mylex has told us we
3343: would not get documentation, either.
3344: 3Ware has lied to us and our users so many times they make politicians
3345: look saintly.
3346: <p>
3347: Until other vendors give us documentation, if you want reliable RAID
3348: in OpenBSD, please buy
3349: <a href="http://www.lsilogic.com/products/megaraid/index.html">LSI/AMI</a>

3444: For an operating system to get anywhere in "the market" it must have
3445: good device support.<br>
3446: <br>
3447: Ethernet was our first concern. Many vendors refused to supply
3448: programmers with programming documentation for these chipsets. Donald
3449: Becker (Linux) and Bill Paul (FreeBSD) changed the rules of the game
3450: here: They wrote drivers for the chipsets that they could get
3451: documentation for, and as they succeeded in writing more and more
3452: drivers, eventually closed vendors slowly opened up until most
3453: ethernet chipset documentation was available. Today, some vendors
3454: still resist releasing ethernet chipset documentation (ie. Broadcom,
1.62 brad 3455: Intel, Marvell/SysKonnect, NVIDIA) but the driver problem is mostly
1.46 henning 3456: solved in the ethernet market.<br>
1.44 deraadt 3457: <br>
3458: Similar problems have happened in the SCSI, IDE, and RAID markets.
3459: Again, the problem was solved by writing drivers for documented
3460: devices first. If the free software user communities use those drivers
3461: preferentially, it is a market loss for the secretive vendors.
3462: Another approach that has worked is to publish email addresses and
3463: phone numbers for the marketing department managers in these
3464: companies. These email campaigns have worked almost every time.<br>
3465: <br>
3466: The new frontier: 802.11 wireless chipsets.<br>
3467: <br>
3468: Over the last six months, this came to a head in the OpenBSD project.
3469: We asked our users to help us petition numerous vendors so that we
3470: could get chipset documentation or redistributable firmware. Certainly, we did
1.52 deraadt 3471: not succeed for some vendors. But we did influence some vendors, in
1.44 deraadt 3472: particular the Taiwanese (Ralink and Realtek), who have given us
3473: everything we need. We also reverse engineered the Atheros chipsets.<br>
3474: <br>
3475:
3476: Want to help us? Avoid
1.204 tb 3477: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=ipw">Intel Centrino</a>,
1.44 deraadt 3478: Broadcom, TI, or Connexant PrismGT chipsets.
3479: Heck, avoid buying even regular
1.204 tb 3480: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=wi">old pre-G Prism products</a>,
1.44 deraadt 3481: to send a message.
1.48 deraadt 3482: If you can, buy 802.11 products using chips by

3486: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=awi">ADMTek</a>,
3487: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=ath">Atheros</a>.
1.44 deraadt 3488: Our manual pages attempt to explain which vendors (ie. D-Link) box
1.52 deraadt 3489: which chipsets into which product.
1.44 deraadt 3490: <br>
3491: <br>
3492: Send a message that open support for hardware matters. A vendor in
1.56 cloder 3493: Redmond largely continues their practices because they get
1.44 deraadt 3494: the chipset documentation years before everyone else does.
3495: What really upsets us the most is that some Linux vendors are signing
3496: Non-Disclosure Agreements with vendors, or contracts that let them
3497: distribute firmwares. Meanwhile both Linux and FSF head developers
1.49 nick 3498: are not asking their communities to help us in our efforts to free
1.44 deraadt 3499: development information for all, but are even going further and
3500: telling their development communities to not work with us at
3501: pressuring vendors. It is ridiculous.

3603: What is up with some free software providers?!
3604: They say "Here's something free! Oh wait, I changed my mind."
3605: <p>
3606: While not exactly bait-and-switch, this is something which
3607: has been causing the community continual grief, and therefore
3608: we decided to honour a few of the projects that have decided
1.41 deraadt 3609: to go non-free. After all.. having gone non-free, no one is
1.37 deraadt 3610: going to remember them in the end.
3611: <p>
3612: This song is dedicated to a few worthy groups who
3613: have made this Free-to-Non-Free transition with their
3614: offerings in the last few years:
3615: <ul>
3616: <li>David Dawes worked for years with a team of
3617: developers to make a free X11 distribution for us to use,
3618: called XFree86, 98% of which was based on entirely free
3619: code from MIT. Suddenly, one day, he decided that
3620: we must give him more credit (ie. advertise his name) or
3621: stop using it. Within about 4 months every project had
3622: told him to get stuffed, and the community has created a
3623: replacement effort.
1.41 deraadt 3624: Now his team cannot even keep their web pages up to date...
1.37 deraadt 3625: <p>
3626: <li>OpenBSD was the first operating system to integrate a
3627: packet filter, and it was the ipf codebase from Darren Reed
3628: that we chose. But a few years later he told us that we
3629: were not free to make changes to the code. So we deleted ipf,
3630: and our new packet filter far exceeds the capabilities of the
3631: one he wrote. And other projects are switching too...
3632: <p>
3633: <li>The Apache group started from the humble beginnings
3634: of just being 'a patchy' set of changes to a completely free
3635: web server of dubious quality. But the years have changed them,
3636: and what they supply is now quite non-free... released under
1.40 jolan 3637: a license so entangled in legalese that we have absolutely no
1.51 jcs 3638: doubt that there are encumbrances hidden within. Legal terms
1.37 deraadt 3639: protect. Who are they protecting? Not your freedom.
3640: </ul>
3641: So here's a goodbye to those three groups, and a warning to any
3642: others who will follow them:
3643: Make your stuff non-free, and something else will
3644: replace it.

3765: A common theme used by the comedy crew Monty Python was to emphasize

3767: themselves. Few things could be considered as humorous as making a
3768: redundancy protocol... redundant; e.g. being forced to replace it by
3769: Cisco lawyers and IETF policy.
3770: <p>
3771: We've been working a few years now on our packet filtering software

3779: it is also necessary to have all the regular hosts not see a

3781: firewall machines to have and use the same IP and MAC addresses. But
3782: the only real way to do that is to use multicast protocols.
3783: <p>
3784: The IETF community proposed work in this direction in the late
3785: 90's, however in 1997 Cisco informed them that they believed some of
3786: Cisco's patents covered the proposed IETF VRRP (Virtual Router
3787: Redundancy Protocol); on
1.205 tb 3788: <a href="https://www.ietf.org/ietf/IPR/VRRP-CISCO">
1.30 deraadt 3789: March 20, 1998 they went further and specifically named their HSRP
3790: "Hot Standby Router Protocol" patent</a>. Reputedly, they were upset
3791: that IETF had not simply adopted the flawed HSRP protocol as the
3792: standard solution for this problem. Despite this legal pressure, the
3793: IETF community forged ahead and published VRRP as a standard even
3794: though there was a patent in the space. Why?
1.144 deraadt 3795: <a href="http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/doc/ietf/vrrp/vrrp-minutes-97dec.txt">
1.30 deraadt 3796: There was much deliberation</a>
3797: at all levels of the IETF, and unfortunately for all of us the
3798: politicians within eventually decided to allow patented technology in
3799: standards -- as long as the patented technology is licensed under RAND
3800: (Reasonable And Non Discriminatory) terms. As free software
3801: programmers, we therefore find ourselves in the position that these
3802: RAND standards must not be implemented by us, and we must deviate from
3803: the standard. We find all this rather Unreasonable and Discriminatory
3804: and we *will* design competing protocols. Some standards organization,
3805: eh?
3806: <p>
3807: Due to some HSRP flaws fixed by VRRP and for compatibility with the
3808: (HSRP-licensed) VRRP implementations of their competitors, Cisco in
3809: recent times has largely abandoned HSRP and now relies on VRRP instead
3810: -- a protocol designed for and by the community, but for which they
3811: claim patent rights.
3812: <p>
3813: On August 7 2002, after many communications, Robert Barr (Cisco's
3814: lawyer) firmly informed the OpenBSD community that Cisco would defend
3815: its patents for VRRP implementations -- meaning basically that it was
3816: impossible for a free software group to produce a truly free
3817: implementation of the IETF standard protocol. Perhaps this is because
3818: Cisco and Alcatel are currently engaged in a pair of patent lawsuits; a
3819: small piece of which is Cisco attempting to use the HSRP patent
3820: against Alcatel for their use of VRRP. Some IETF working group

3825: <p>
3826: A few years ago, the W3C, who designs our web protocols, tried to move
3827: to a RAND policy as well (primarily because of pressure from Microsoft
3828: and Apple), but the community outrage was so overpowering that they
3829: backed down. Some standards groups use this policy, while others
3830: avoid it -- the one differentiation being the amount of corporate
1.55 tom 3831: participation. In the IETF, the pro-RAND agents work for AT&T,
1.30 deraadt 3832: Alcatel, IBM, Cisco, Microsoft, and other large companies. Since IETF
3833: is an open forum, they can blend in as the populace, and vote just
3834: like all others, except against the community.
3835: <p>
3836: Translation: In failing to "reach consensus", the companies who
3837: benefit from RAND won, and the community lost again.
3838: <p>
3839: Left with little choice, we proceeded to reinvent the wheel or, more
3840: correctly, abandon the wheel entirely and go for a "hovercraft". We
3841: designed CARP (Common Address Redundancy Protocol) to solve the same
3842: problem that these other protocols are designed for, but without the
3843: same technological basis as HSRP and VRRP. We read the patent
3844: document carefully and ensured that CARP was fundamentally different.
3845: We also avoided many of the flaws in HSRP and VRRP (such as an inherent
3846: lack of security). And since we are OpenBSD developers, we designed
3847: it to use cryptography.
3848: <p>
3849: The combination of
1.204 tb 3850: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>,
3851: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>, and
3852: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=carp&sektion=4">carp(4)</a>
1.30 deraadt 3853: has permitted us to build highly redundant firewalls. To date, we
3854: have built a few networks that include as many as 4 firewalls, all
3855: running random reboot cycles. As long as one firewall is alive in a
3856: group, traffic through them moves smoothly and correctly for all of
3857: our packet filter functionality. Cisco's low end products are unable
3858: to do this reliably, and if they have high end products which can do
3859: this, you most certainly cannot afford them.
3860: <p>
3861: As a final note of course, when we petitioned IANA, the IETF body
3862: regulating "official" internet protocol numbers, to give us numbers
3863: for CARP and pfsync our request was denied. Apparently we had failed
3864: to go through an official standards organization. Consequently we
3865: were forced to choose a protocol number which would not conflict with
3866: anything else of value, and decided to place CARP at IP protocol 112.
3867: We also placed pfsync at an open and unused number. We informed IANA of
3868: these decisions, but they declined to reply.
3869: <p>
3870: This ridiculous situation then inspired one of our developers to create
3871: this parody of the well-known Monty Python skit and song.

4162: <br>
4163: As we did for the 3.3 release, we have once again tried
4164: making release artwork and music which are allegorical
4165: of recent happenings.
4166: <p>
4167: Two years ago we became involved with the University
4168: of Pennsylvania and DARPA, who were funding us to do
4169: security research and development .. on things that
4170: we were already intending to do. We provided ideas,
4171: wrote papers, and deployed cutting-edge technology;
4172: DARPA provided finances and reaped a share of the
4173: credit, and the University of Pennsylvania acted as
4174: a middle-man. We accepted funding based on the
4175: promise that our freedom to operate as we wished
4176: was unaffected. To us, freedom is more important
1.21 deraadt 4177: than funding -- heck, we were dealing with the evil
1.20 deraadt 4178: forces of government, and needed to be careful.
4179: <p>
4180: A few months prior to this release, DARPA suddenly
4181: and without warning decided to withdraw that funding;
4182: they also aggressively backed out of contractual
1.185 tj 4183: obligations. Many articles in the press followed regarding
1.67 jolan 4184: this sudden maneuver. Apparently this hoopla happened
1.20 deraadt 4185: because an OpenBSD-related article in the Canadian
1.55 tom 4186: newspaper The Globe & Mail had quoted Theo de Raadt
1.20 deraadt 4187: making anti-war statements regarding Iraq and the
4188: theft of oil.
4189: <p>
4190: The only answer given (to major media reporters) by a
4191: DARPA spokesperson (Jan Walker) was this:
4192: <p>
4193: "As a result of the DARPA review of the
4194: project, and due to world events and the evolving
4195: threat posed by increasingly capable nation-states,
4196: the Government on April 21 advised the University
4197: to suspend work on the "security fest" portion of
4198: the project."
4199: <p>
4200: That almost toes the line of calling us terrorists!
4201: We had lost financial support, but the release of the
4202: statement above suddenly made us very happy to be free
4203: of any perceived obligation to such crazy people.
4204: <p>
4205: Since the termination came near natural contract
4206: termination (about 4 months remained), less damage
4207: than expected was sustained by the project. Sponsors
4208: stepped forward and helped us make up the missing funds
4209: we needed to run our "Hackathon", and the event
1.61 grunk 4210: proceeded as planned. We even had T-shirts made with
1.20 deraadt 4211: "Workstations of Mass Development" artwork for those
4212: developers who attended (sorry, they are not for sale).
4213: <p>
4214: We could not make stories like this up. So instead,
4215: we are making up an allegory about it, using the tale
4216: of Robin Hood.
