1.100 deraadt 27: Every 6 months the OpenBSD project has the pleasure to release
1.197 tj 28: our software with artwork and a matching song.
1.139 deraadt 29: Theo and some other developers mutate a theme (from a classical
30: setting, a movie, or some genre) into the fishy world of Puffy, to
31: describe some advance, event or controversy the project went through
1.197 tj 32: over the previous six months. To match the art released with the
33: historical CD sets, we joined up with some musicians we know to make
34: at least one song.

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

182: <br>
183: Grabowski and the others too<br>
184: Will do their very best<br>

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

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

1058: We've done stuff about LibreSSL before, but this particular song just
1059: fit with the release theme. While the lyrics can speak for themselves,
1060: "A Year In The Life" is representative of more than just LibreSSL. The
1061: pattern of LibreSSL development is a pattern that has repeated itself
1.214 bentley 1062: many times in OpenBSD — a decision is made by a few people to do
1.159 deraadt 1063: something, followed by action, and letting the world share it if they
1064: like it (such as with OpenSSH). To the developers actually doing the

1066: irrelevant. The juxtaposition of working on the very real with the

1.146 guenther 1259: ecosystem along because no one else had paved the way for 32-bit
1.144 deraadt 1260: machines to run with 64-bit <b>time_t</b>. This required a fair
1261: bit of upstream involvement. Thousands of fixes were required to
1262: make both 32-bit and 64-bit time work transparently. There will
1263: be more fixing in the future, but the concept is proven.
1264: <p>
1265: In the past OpenBSD pushed risky theoretical ideas into mainstream
1266: software practice by proving the ecosystem was ready to change.
1267: No OS wants to make a ABI jump until the case for change is proven.
1268: Stack protection, ASLR, and W^X principles are now in common use
1269: by mainline operating systems... because things like Firefox
1270: and Postgresql don't break anymore. OpenBSD built that route.
1271: <p>
1272: In the same way, the road is paved for the 64-bit <b>time_t</b>
1273: transition. Other operating systems can now make this jump.

1445: Windows, and yet loves the situation with software that will only run
1446: under particular Linux distributions.
1447: <p>
1448: This problem has proliferated itself into the standards bodies, with
1449: Posix adopting Linuxisms ahead of any other variant of Unix.

1451: Posix and Unix have made it where you can write reasonably portable

1.132 beck 1455: <p>

1457: with particular distributions of Linux. From this we get software that
1458: not only isn't very portable, but often not particularly stable. Our

1461: with the unattractive choice of doing the same, or relying on

1818: BSD 4.2 was
1819: not free, but it created and integrated so many new
1820: technologies that we all depend on today. Take a moment

2233: Nearly 10 years ago Kirk McKusick wrote a history of
2234: the Berkeley Unix distributions for the
1.121 deraadt 2235: O'Reilly book "Open Sources: Voices from the Open Source Revolution".
1.104 deraadt 2236: We recommend you read his story, entitled
2237: <a href="http://oreilly.com/catalog/opensources/book/kirkmck.html">
2238: "Twenty Years of Berkeley Unix
2239: From AT&T-Owned to Freely Redistributable"</a>
2240: first, to see how Kirk remembers how we got here.
2241: Sadly, since it showed up in book form originally, this text has
2242: probably not been read by enough people.
2243: <br>
2244: <br>
2245: The USL(AT&T) vs BSDI/UCB court case settlement documents were
2246: not public until recently; their disclosure has made the facts more clear.
2247: But the story of how three people decided to free the BSD codebase
1.214 bentley 2248: of corporate pollution — and release it freely — is more interesting
1.104 deraadt 2249: than the lawsuit which followed. Sure, a stupid lawsuit happened which
2250: hindered the acceptance of the BSD code during a critical period.
2251: But how did a bunch of guys go through the effort of replacing so
2252: much AT&T code in the first place? After all, companies had
1.214 bentley 2253: lots of really evil lawyers back then too — were they not afraid?
1.104 deraadt 2254: <br>
2255: <br>
2256: After a decade of development, most of the AT&T code had
2257: already been replaced by university researchers and their associates.
2258: So Keith Bostic, Mike Karels and Kirk McKusick (the main UCB CSRG group)
2259: started going through the 4.3BSD codebase to cleanse the rest.
2260: Keith, in particular, built a ragtag team (in those days, USENIX
2261: conferences were a gold mine for such team building) and led these
2262: rebels to rewrite and replace all the Imperial AT&T code, piece by
2263: piece, starting with the libraries and userland programs.
1.214 bentley 2264: Anyone who helped only got credit as a Contributor — people like
1.104 deraadt 2265: Chris Torek and a cast of .. hundreds more.
2266: <br>
2267: <br>
1.105 deraadt 2268: Then Mike and Kirk purified the kernel. After a bit more careful
1.104 deraadt 2269: checking, this led to the release of a clean tree called Net/2 which
1.214 bentley 2270: was given to the world in June 1991 — the largest dump of free source
2271: code the world had ever received (for those days — not modern monsters like OpenOffice).
1.104 deraadt 2272: <br>
2273: <br>
2274: Some of these ragtags formed a company (BSDi) to sell a production system
2275: based on this free code base, and a year later Unix System Laboratories
2276: (basically AT&T) sued BSDi and UCB.
2277: Eventually AT&T lost and after a few trifling fixes (described in the
2278: lawsuit documents) the codebase was free. A few newer developments
2279: (and more free code) were added, and released in June 1994 as 4.4BSD-Lite.
2280: Just over 14 years later OpenBSD is releasing its own 4.4 release (and for
1.207 deraadt 2281: a lot less than $1000 per copy).
1.104 deraadt 2282: <br>
2283: <br>
2284: The OpenBSD 4.4 release is dedicated to Keith Bostic, Mike Karels, Kirk McKusick,
2285: and all of those who contributed to making Net/2 and 4.4BSD-Lite free.

2337: <br>

2357: <br>
2358: And OpenBSD is here<br>
2359: to tell the story right<br>
2360: Once again the fight is fought<br>

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

2560: away from the ideals very quickly.
2561: <p>
1.93 jmc 2562: Much of any operating system's usability depends on device support,
1.91 merdely 2563: and there are some very tempting alternative ways to support devices
1.90 deraadt 2564: available to those who will surrender their moral code. A project
2565: could compromise by entering into NDA agreements with vendors, or
2566: including binary objects in the operating system for which no source
2567: code exists, or tying their users down with contract terms hidden
2568: inside copyright notices. All of these choices surrender some subset
2569: of the ideals, and we simply will not do this. Sure, we care about
2570: getting devices working, but not at the expense of our original goals.
2571: <p>
2572: Of course since "free to share with anyone" is part of our goals,
2573: we've been at the forefront of many licensing and NDA issues,
1.91 merdely 2574: resulting in a good number of successes. This success had led to much
1.90 deraadt 2575: recognition for the advancement of Free Software causes, but has also
2576: led to other issues.
2577: <p>
2578: We fully admit that some BSD licensed software has been taken and used
2579: by many commercial entities, but contributions come back more often
2580: than people seem to know, and when they do, they're always still
2581: properly attributed to the original authors, and given back in the
2582: same spirit that they were given in the first place.
2583: <p>
2584: That's the best we can expect from companies. After all, we make our
1.214 bentley 2585: stuff so free so that everyone can benefit — it remains a core goal;
1.90 deraadt 2586: we really have not strayed at all in 10 years. But we can expect more
1.214 bentley 2587: from projects who talk about sharing — such as the various Linux
1.90 deraadt 2588: projects.
2589: <p>
2590: Now rather than seeing us as friends who can cooperatively improve all
2591: codebases, we are seen as foes who oppose the GPL. The participants
2592: of "the race" are being manipulated by the FSF and their legal arm, the
2593: SFLC, for the FSF's aims, rather than the goal of getting good source
2594: into Linux (and all other code bases). We don't want this to come off
2595: as some conspiracy theory, but we simply urge those developers caution
1.214 bentley 2596: — they should ensure that the path they are being shown by those who
1.90 deraadt 2597: have positioned themselves as leaders is still true. Run for yourself,
2598: not for their agenda.
2599: <p>
2600: The Race is there to be run, for ourselves, not for others. We do
2601: what we do to run our own race, and finish it the best we can. We
2602: don't rush off at every distraction, or worry how this will affect our
2603: image. We are here to have fun doing right.

2703: As developers of a free operating system, one of our prime responsibilities
2704: is device support. No matter how nice an operating system is, it remains
2705: useless and unusable without solid support for a wide percentage of the
2706: hardware that is available on the market. It is therefore rather unsurprising
2707: that more than half of our efforts focus on various aspects relating to
2708: device support.
2709: <p>
1.85 mbalmer 2710: Most parts of the operating system (from low kernel, through to libraries,
1.81 deraadt 2711: all the way up to X, and then even to applications) use fairly obvious
2712: interface layers, where the "communication protocols" or "argument passing"
2713: mechanisms (ie. APIs) can be understood by any developer who takes the
2714: time to read the free code. Device drivers pose an additional and significant
2715: challenge though: because many vendors refuse to document the exact behavior
2716: of their devices. The devices are black boxes. And often they are surprisingly
2717: weird, or even buggy.
2718: <p>
2719: When vendor documentation does not exist, the development process can
2720: become extremely hairy. Groups of developers have found themselves focused
2721: for months at a time, figuring out the most simple steps, simply because
2722: the hardware is a complete mystery. Access to documentation can ease
2723: these difficulties rapidly. However, getting access to the chip documentation
2724: from vendors is ... almost always a negotiation. If we had open access to
1.84 matthieu 2725: documentation, anyone would be able to see how simple all these devices
1.81 deraadt 2726: actually are, and device driver development would flourish (and not just in
2727: OpenBSD, either).
2728: <p>
2729: When we proceed into negotiations with vendors, asking for documentation,
2730: our position is often weak. One would assume that the modern market is fair,
2731: and that selling chips would be the primary focus of these vendors. But
2732: unfortunately a number of behemoth software vendors have spent the last 10 or
2733: 20 years building

2736: <p>
1.82 jsg 2737: A particularly nasty player in this regard has been the Linux vendors and
1.87 tom 2738: some Linux developers, who have played along with an American corporate model
1.81 deraadt 2739: of requiring NDAs for chip documentation. This has effectively put Linux

2743: work with us, and the device driver support in all free operating systems

3089: OpenBSD emphasizes security. It also emphasizes openness. All the code
3090: is there for all to see. Blobs are vendor-compiled binary drivers
3091: without any source code. Hardware makers like them because they
3092: obscure the details of how to make their hardware work. They hide bugs
3093: and workarounds for bugs. Newer versions of blobs can weaken support
3094: for older hardware and motivate people to buy new hardware.<br>
3095: <br>
3096: <br>
3097: Blobs are expedient. Many other open source operating systems
3098: cheerfully incorporate them; in fact their users demand them.<br>
3099: <br>
3100: <br>
3101: But when you need to trust the system, how do you check the blob for
3102: quality? For adherence to standards? How do you know the blob contains
3103: no malicious code? No incompetent code? Inspection is impossible; you
3104: can only test the black box. And when it breaks, you have no idea why.<br>
3105: <br>
3106: <br>
3107: <ul>
3108: <li>Blobs can be 'de-supported' by vendors<br>
3109: at any time.<br>
3110: <br>
3111: <li>Blobs cannot be supported by developers.<br>

3120: Blobs are specific to an architecture, thus<br>

3127: This release, like every OpenBSD release, contains OpenBSD and its
3128: source code. It runs on a wide variety of hardware. It contains many
3129: new features and improvements. OpenBSD does attempt to convince
3130: vendors to release documentation, and often reverse-engineers around
3131: the need for blobs. OpenBSD remains blob-free. Anyone can look at it,
1.157 deraadt 3132: assess it, improve it. If it breaks, it can be fixed.

3270: For a multitude of (stupid) reasons, vendors often attempt to lock
3271: out our participation with their customers by refusing to give our
3272: programmers sufficient documentation so that we can properly support
3273: their devices.
3274: <p>
3275: Take Adaptec for instance. Before the 3.7 release we disabled support
3276: for the
1.204 tb 3277: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=aac&sektion=4">aac(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 3278: Adaptec RAID driver because negotiations with the Adaptec had failed.
3279: They refused to give us documentation. Without documentation, support
3280: for their controller had always been poor. The driver had bugs (which
3281: affected some users more than others) which caused crashes, and of
3282: course there was no RAID management support. Apparently most of these
1.59 jolan 3283: bugs are because the Adaptec controllers have numerous buggy firmware
3284: issues which require careful workarounds; without documentation we
3285: cannot solve these issues.
1.58 deraadt 3286: <p>
3287: The driver was written by an OpenBSD developer, who cribbed parts
3288: of it from a FreeBSD driver written by an ex-Adaptec employee. But no
3289: public documentation exists, and Adaptec has dozens of cards with
3290: different firmware issues. All of this adds up to a very desperate
1.214 bentley 3291: development model — it becomes very hard for the principle of
1.58 deraadt 3292: "quality" to show its head.
3293: <p>
3294: RAID devices have two main qualities that people buy them for:
3295: <br>
3296: <ul>
1.60 pvalchev 3297: <li>Redundancy
1.58 deraadt 3298: <li>Repair
3299: </ul>
3300: You want a RAID unit to provide you with redundancy, so that if some drives
1.60 pvalchev 3301: fail, your data is not lost. But once a drive has failed, you require your
3302: array to (automatically, most likely) perform the operations to repair
1.58 deraadt 3303: itself, so that it is functioning perfectly again.
3304: <p>
3305: Some vendors (or like the above Adaptec case, ex-employee) have
3306: sometimes given us some documentation so that we could write drivers,
3307: so that their devices could support Redundancy. But these vendors have
3308: never given us any documentation for performing Repairs.
3309: <p>
3310: Instead these vendors have tried to pass out non-free RAID management
3311: tools. These are typically gigantic Linux binaries, or some crazy thing, that
1.67 jolan 3312: is supposed to work through a bizarre interface in the device driver, which
1.58 deraadt 3313: we are apparently supposed to write code for without any documentation.
3314: <p>
3315: And since we refuse to accept our users being forced into depending on
3316: vendor binaries, we have reverse engineered the management interface for
3317: the AMI controllers.
3318: <p>
3319: There is no great "intellectual property" in this stuff, it is all
3320: rather simple primitives. This is all that we need to implement
3321: basic RAID management:
3322: <ul>
3323: <li>SCSI transactions on the back-side busses
3324: <li>Discovering which drives are in which volumes
3325: <li>Being able to silence the buzzer
3326: <li>Marking a new drive as a Hot-Spare
3327: </ul>
3328: <p>
3329: The AMI driver needed to support these small primitive operations.
3330: And once we had that, we rely on something else which we know: Almost
3331: all the RAID controllers would need the same primitives.
3332: <p>
3333: Thus armed, we were able to write a generic framework which would later
3334: work on other vendors' RAID cards, that is, once we get documentation
3335: or do some reverse engineering for their products.
3336: <p>
1.60 pvalchev 3337: But having been ignored for so long by these vendors, it is not clear when (if
3338: ever) we will get around to writing that support for Adaptec RAID
1.58 deraadt 3339: controllers now. And Adaptec has gone and bought ICP Vortex, which
3340: may mean we can never get documentation for the
1.204 tb 3341: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=gdt&sektion=4">gdt(4)</a>
1.58 deraadt 3342: controllers.
3343: The "Open Source Friendly liar" IBM owns Mylex, and Mylex has told us we
3344: would not get documentation, either.
3345: 3Ware has lied to us and our users so many times they make politicians
3346: look saintly.
3347: <p>
3348: Until other vendors give us documentation, if you want reliable RAID
3349: in OpenBSD, please buy
3350: <a href="http://www.lsilogic.com/products/megaraid/index.html">LSI/AMI</a>

3445: For an operating system to get anywhere in "the market" it must have
3446: good device support.<br>
3447: <br>
3448: Ethernet was our first concern. Many vendors refused to supply
3449: programmers with programming documentation for these chipsets. Donald
3450: Becker (Linux) and Bill Paul (FreeBSD) changed the rules of the game
3451: here: They wrote drivers for the chipsets that they could get
3452: documentation for, and as they succeeded in writing more and more
3453: drivers, eventually closed vendors slowly opened up until most
3454: ethernet chipset documentation was available. Today, some vendors
3455: still resist releasing ethernet chipset documentation (ie. Broadcom,
1.62 brad 3456: Intel, Marvell/SysKonnect, NVIDIA) but the driver problem is mostly
1.46 henning 3457: solved in the ethernet market.<br>
1.44 deraadt 3458: <br>
3459: Similar problems have happened in the SCSI, IDE, and RAID markets.
3460: Again, the problem was solved by writing drivers for documented
3461: devices first. If the free software user communities use those drivers
3462: preferentially, it is a market loss for the secretive vendors.
3463: Another approach that has worked is to publish email addresses and
3464: phone numbers for the marketing department managers in these
3465: companies. These email campaigns have worked almost every time.<br>
3466: <br>
3467: The new frontier: 802.11 wireless chipsets.<br>
3468: <br>
3469: Over the last six months, this came to a head in the OpenBSD project.
3470: We asked our users to help us petition numerous vendors so that we
3471: could get chipset documentation or redistributable firmware. Certainly, we did
1.52 deraadt 3472: not succeed for some vendors. But we did influence some vendors, in
1.44 deraadt 3473: particular the Taiwanese (Ralink and Realtek), who have given us
3474: everything we need. We also reverse engineered the Atheros chipsets.<br>
3475: <br>
3476:
3477: Want to help us? Avoid
1.204 tb 3478: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=ipw">Intel Centrino</a>,
1.44 deraadt 3479: Broadcom, TI, or Connexant PrismGT chipsets.
3480: Heck, avoid buying even regular
1.204 tb 3481: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=wi">old pre-G Prism products</a>,
1.44 deraadt 3482: to send a message.
1.48 deraadt 3483: If you can, buy 802.11 products using chips by
1.204 tb 3484: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=rtw">Realtek</a>,
3485: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=ral">Ralink</a>,

3487: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=awi">ADMTek</a>,
3488: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=ath">Atheros</a>.
1.44 deraadt 3489: Our manual pages attempt to explain which vendors (ie. D-Link) box
1.52 deraadt 3490: which chipsets into which product.
1.44 deraadt 3491: <br>
3492: <br>
3493: Send a message that open support for hardware matters. A vendor in
1.56 cloder 3494: Redmond largely continues their practices because they get
1.44 deraadt 3495: the chipset documentation years before everyone else does.
3496: What really upsets us the most is that some Linux vendors are signing
3497: Non-Disclosure Agreements with vendors, or contracts that let them
3498: distribute firmwares. Meanwhile both Linux and FSF head developers
1.49 nick 3499: are not asking their communities to help us in our efforts to free
1.44 deraadt 3500: development information for all, but are even going further and
3501: telling their development communities to not work with us at
3502: pressuring vendors. It is ridiculous.

3604: What is up with some free software providers?!
3605: They say "Here's something free! Oh wait, I changed my mind."
3606: <p>
3607: While not exactly bait-and-switch, this is something which
3608: has been causing the community continual grief, and therefore
3609: we decided to honour a few of the projects that have decided
1.41 deraadt 3610: to go non-free. After all.. having gone non-free, no one is
1.37 deraadt 3611: going to remember them in the end.
3612: <p>
3613: This song is dedicated to a few worthy groups who
3614: have made this Free-to-Non-Free transition with their
3615: offerings in the last few years:
3616: <ul>
3617: <li>David Dawes worked for years with a team of
3618: developers to make a free X11 distribution for us to use,
3619: called XFree86, 98% of which was based on entirely free
3620: code from MIT. Suddenly, one day, he decided that
3621: we must give him more credit (ie. advertise his name) or
3622: stop using it. Within about 4 months every project had
3623: told him to get stuffed, and the community has created a
3624: replacement effort.
1.41 deraadt 3625: Now his team cannot even keep their web pages up to date...
1.37 deraadt 3626: <p>
3627: <li>OpenBSD was the first operating system to integrate a
3628: packet filter, and it was the ipf codebase from Darren Reed
3629: that we chose. But a few years later he told us that we
3630: were not free to make changes to the code. So we deleted ipf,
3631: and our new packet filter far exceeds the capabilities of the
3632: one he wrote. And other projects are switching too...
3633: <p>
3634: <li>The Apache group started from the humble beginnings
3635: of just being 'a patchy' set of changes to a completely free
3636: web server of dubious quality. But the years have changed them,
3637: and what they supply is now quite non-free... released under
1.40 jolan 3638: a license so entangled in legalese that we have absolutely no
1.51 jcs 3639: doubt that there are encumbrances hidden within. Legal terms
1.37 deraadt 3640: protect. Who are they protecting? Not your freedom.
3641: </ul>
3642: So here's a goodbye to those three groups, and a warning to any
3643: others who will follow them:
3644: Make your stuff non-free, and something else will
3645: replace it.

3766: A common theme used by the comedy crew Monty Python was to emphasize
3767: and exaggerate ridiculousnesses that their target had imposed upon
3768: themselves. Few things could be considered as humorous as making a
3769: redundancy protocol... redundant; e.g. being forced to replace it by
3770: Cisco lawyers and IETF policy.
3771: <p>
3772: We've been working a few years now on our packet filtering software
1.204 tb 3773: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>
1.30 deraadt 3774: and it became time to add failover. We want to be able to set up pf
3775: firewalls side by side, and exchange the stateful information between
3776: them, so that in case of failure another could take over 'keep state'
3777: sessions. Our
1.204 tb 3778: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>
1.30 deraadt 3779: protocol solves this problem. However, on both sides of the firewall,
3780: it is also necessary to have all the regular hosts not see a
3781: network failure. The only reliable way to do this is for both
3782: firewall machines to have and use the same IP and MAC addresses. But
3783: the only real way to do that is to use multicast protocols.
3784: <p>
3785: The IETF community proposed work in this direction in the late
3786: 90's, however in 1997 Cisco informed them that they believed some of
3787: Cisco's patents covered the proposed IETF VRRP (Virtual Router
3788: Redundancy Protocol); on
1.205 tb 3789: <a href="https://www.ietf.org/ietf/IPR/VRRP-CISCO">
1.30 deraadt 3790: March 20, 1998 they went further and specifically named their HSRP
3791: "Hot Standby Router Protocol" patent</a>. Reputedly, they were upset
3792: that IETF had not simply adopted the flawed HSRP protocol as the
3793: standard solution for this problem. Despite this legal pressure, the
3794: IETF community forged ahead and published VRRP as a standard even
3795: though there was a patent in the space. Why?
1.144 deraadt 3796: <a href="http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/doc/ietf/vrrp/vrrp-minutes-97dec.txt">
1.30 deraadt 3797: There was much deliberation</a>
3798: at all levels of the IETF, and unfortunately for all of us the
3799: politicians within eventually decided to allow patented technology in
1.214 bentley 3800: standards — as long as the patented technology is licensed under RAND
1.30 deraadt 3801: (Reasonable And Non Discriminatory) terms. As free software
3802: programmers, we therefore find ourselves in the position that these
3803: RAND standards must not be implemented by us, and we must deviate from
3804: the standard. We find all this rather Unreasonable and Discriminatory
3805: and we *will* design competing protocols. Some standards organization,
3806: eh?
3807: <p>
3808: Due to some HSRP flaws fixed by VRRP and for compatibility with the
3809: (HSRP-licensed) VRRP implementations of their competitors, Cisco in
3810: recent times has largely abandoned HSRP and now relies on VRRP instead
1.214 bentley 3811: — a protocol designed for and by the community, but for which they
1.30 deraadt 3812: claim patent rights.

3814: On August 7 2002, after many communications, Robert Barr (Cisco's
3815: lawyer) firmly informed the OpenBSD community that Cisco would defend
1.214 bentley 3816: its patents for VRRP implementations — meaning basically that it was
1.30 deraadt 3817: impossible for a free software group to produce a truly free
3818: implementation of the IETF standard protocol. Perhaps this is because
3819: Cisco and Alcatel are currently engaged in a pair of patent lawsuits; a
3820: small piece of which is Cisco attempting to use the HSRP patent
3821: against Alcatel for their use of VRRP. Some IETF working group
3822: members took note of our complaints,
1.122 deraadt 3823: <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20061109082106/http://lists.microshaft.org/pipermail/dmca_discuss/2003-April/004702.html">
1.30 deraadt 3824: however an attempt in April 2003 to have the IETF abandon the use of
3825: patented technology failed to "reach consensus" in the IETF</a>.
3826: <p>
3827: A few years ago, the W3C, who designs our web protocols, tried to move
3828: to a RAND policy as well (primarily because of pressure from Microsoft
3829: and Apple), but the community outrage was so overpowering that they
3830: backed down. Some standards groups use this policy, while others
1.214 bentley 3831: avoid it — the one differentiation being the amount of corporate
1.55 tom 3832: participation. In the IETF, the pro-RAND agents work for AT&T,
1.30 deraadt 3833: Alcatel, IBM, Cisco, Microsoft, and other large companies. Since IETF
3834: is an open forum, they can blend in as the populace, and vote just
3835: like all others, except against the community.
3836: <p>
3837: Translation: In failing to "reach consensus", the companies who
3838: benefit from RAND won, and the community lost again.
3839: <p>
3840: Left with little choice, we proceeded to reinvent the wheel or, more
3841: correctly, abandon the wheel entirely and go for a "hovercraft". We
3842: designed CARP (Common Address Redundancy Protocol) to solve the same
3843: problem that these other protocols are designed for, but without the
3844: same technological basis as HSRP and VRRP. We read the patent
3845: document carefully and ensured that CARP was fundamentally different.
3846: We also avoided many of the flaws in HSRP and VRRP (such as an inherent
3847: lack of security). And since we are OpenBSD developers, we designed
3848: it to use cryptography.
3849: <p>
3850: The combination of
1.204 tb 3851: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>,
3852: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>, and
3853: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=carp&sektion=4">carp(4)</a>
1.30 deraadt 3854: has permitted us to build highly redundant firewalls. To date, we
3855: have built a few networks that include as many as 4 firewalls, all
3856: running random reboot cycles. As long as one firewall is alive in a
3857: group, traffic through them moves smoothly and correctly for all of
3858: our packet filter functionality. Cisco's low end products are unable
3859: to do this reliably, and if they have high end products which can do
3860: this, you most certainly cannot afford them.
3861: <p>
3862: As a final note of course, when we petitioned IANA, the IETF body
3863: regulating "official" internet protocol numbers, to give us numbers
3864: for CARP and pfsync our request was denied. Apparently we had failed
3865: to go through an official standards organization. Consequently we
3866: were forced to choose a protocol number which would not conflict with
3867: anything else of value, and decided to place CARP at IP protocol 112.
3868: We also placed pfsync at an open and unused number. We informed IANA of
3869: these decisions, but they declined to reply.
3870: <p>
3871: This ridiculous situation then inspired one of our developers to create
3872: this parody of the well-known Monty Python skit and song.

4164: As we did for the 3.3 release, we have once again tried
4165: making release artwork and music which are allegorical
4166: of recent happenings.
4167: <p>
4168: Two years ago we became involved with the University

4170: security research and development .. on things that
4171: we were already intending to do. We provided ideas,
4172: wrote papers, and deployed cutting-edge technology;
4173: DARPA provided finances and reaped a share of the
4174: credit, and the University of Pennsylvania acted as
4175: a middle-man. We accepted funding based on the
4176: promise that our freedom to operate as we wished
4177: was unaffected. To us, freedom is more important
1.214 bentley 4178: than funding — heck, we were dealing with the evil
1.20 deraadt 4179: forces of government, and needed to be careful.
4180: <p>
4181: A few months prior to this release, DARPA suddenly
4182: and without warning decided to withdraw that funding;
4183: they also aggressively backed out of contractual
1.185 tj 4184: obligations. Many articles in the press followed regarding
1.67 jolan 4185: this sudden maneuver. Apparently this hoopla happened
1.20 deraadt 4186: because an OpenBSD-related article in the Canadian
1.55 tom 4187: newspaper The Globe & Mail had quoted Theo de Raadt
1.20 deraadt 4188: making anti-war statements regarding Iraq and the
4189: theft of oil.
4190: <p>
4191: The only answer given (to major media reporters) by a
4192: DARPA spokesperson (Jan Walker) was this:
4193: <p>
4194: "As a result of the DARPA review of the
4195: project, and due to world events and the evolving
4196: threat posed by increasingly capable nation-states,
4197: the Government on April 21 advised the University
4198: to suspend work on the "security fest" portion of
4199: the project."
4200: <p>
4201: That almost toes the line of calling us terrorists!
4202: We had lost financial support, but the release of the
4203: statement above suddenly made us very happy to be free
4204: of any perceived obligation to such crazy people.
4205: <p>
4206: Since the termination came near natural contract
4207: termination (about 4 months remained), less damage
4208: than expected was sustained by the project. Sponsors
4209: stepped forward and helped us make up the missing funds
4210: we needed to run our "Hackathon", and the event
1.61 grunk 4211: proceeded as planned. We even had T-shirts made with
1.20 deraadt 4212: "Workstations of Mass Development" artwork for those
4213: developers who attended (sorry, they are not for sale).
4214: <p>
4215: We could not make stories like this up. So instead,
4216: we are making up an allegory about it, using the tale
4217: of Robin Hood.
