                    442: The introduction of anoncvs meant people without commit

                    444: committed diff.  They could reason about the past as

                    448: group. We were inundated with high quality diffs.  These
                    449: outsider developers wrote excellent changes because they had
                    450: sufficient context to reason upon.  Those who overwhelmed us
                    451: with good changes became developers with commit access.  We

1.146     guenther 1529: After a year of work it was ready enough for merging, and in August 2013
                   1530: the <b>time_t</b> type was changed to int64_t on all
                   1531: platforms and the kernel and userland were adapted to the new
                   1532: situation. The initial work was committed right after OpenBSD 5.4,

                   1535: The next part of the process was to drag the "ports" software

1.144     deraadt  1537: machines to run with 64-bit <b>time_t</b>.  This required a fair

                   1539: make both 32-bit and 64-bit time work transparently.  There will
                   1540: be more fixing in the future, but the concept is proven.
                   1541: <p>
                   1542: In the past OpenBSD pushed risky theoretical ideas into mainstream

                   2501: Sadly, since it showed up in book form originally, this text has
                   2502: probably not been read by enough people.
1.216     bentley  2503: <p>
1.104     deraadt  2504: The USL(AT&T) vs BSDI/UCB court case settlement documents were
                   2505: not public until recently; their disclosure has made the facts more clear.
                   2506: But the story of how three people decided to free the BSD codebase
1.214     bentley  2507: of corporate pollution &mdash; and release it freely &mdash; is more interesting
1.104     deraadt  2508: than the lawsuit which followed.  Sure, a stupid lawsuit happened which
                   2509: hindered the acceptance of the BSD code during a critical period.
                   2510: But how did a bunch of guys go through the effort of replacing so
                   2511: much AT&T code in the first place? After all, companies had
1.214     bentley  2512: lots of really evil lawyers back then too &mdash; were they not afraid?
1.216     bentley  2513: <p>
1.104     deraadt  2514: After a decade of development, most of the AT&T code had
                   2515: already been replaced by university researchers and their associates.
                   2516: So Keith Bostic, Mike Karels and Kirk McKusick (the main UCB CSRG group)
                   2517: started going through the 4.3BSD codebase to cleanse the rest.
                   2518: Keith, in particular, built a ragtag team (in those days, USENIX
                   2519: conferences were a gold mine for such team building) and led these
                   2520: rebels to rewrite and replace all the Imperial AT&T code, piece by
                   2521: piece, starting with the libraries and userland programs.
1.214     bentley  2522: Anyone who helped only got credit as a Contributor &mdash; people like

1.105     deraadt  2525: Then Mike and Kirk purified the kernel. After a bit more careful
1.104     deraadt  2526: checking, this led to the release of a clean tree called Net/2 which
1.214     bentley  2527: was given to the world in June 1991 &mdash; the largest dump of free source
                   2528: code the world had ever received (for those days &mdash; not modern monsters like OpenOffice).
1.216     bentley  2529: <p>
1.104     deraadt  2530: Some of these ragtags formed a company (BSDi) to sell a production system
                   2531: based on this free code base, and a year later Unix System Laboratories
                   2532: (basically AT&T) sued BSDi and UCB.
                   2533: Eventually AT&T lost and after a few trifling fixes (described in the
                   2534: lawsuit documents) the codebase was free.  A few newer developments
                   2535: (and more free code) were added, and released in June 1994 as 4.4BSD-Lite.
                   2536: Just over 14 years later OpenBSD is releasing its own 4.4 release (and for
1.207     deraadt  2537: a lot less than $1000 per copy).
1.216     bentley  2538: <p>
1.104     deraadt  2539: The OpenBSD 4.4 release is dedicated to Keith Bostic, Mike Karels, Kirk McKusick,

                   2657: his seat, demanded that they stop waiting in the queue and be permitted
1.95      deraadt  2658: to deplane.  Even after orders from the crew and a pilot from
                   2659: the cockpit he refused to sit down.  The plane exited the queue
1.96      deraadt  2660: and returned to the airport gangway.  Security personnel ran onto
1.95      deraadt  2661: the plane and removed this man, Richard Stallman, from the plane.
                   2662: After Richard was removed from the plane, everyone else stayed
                   2663: onboard and continued their journey to New Orleans.  A few
1.216     bentley  2664: OpenBSD developers were on that same plane, seated very close by,
1.95      deraadt  2665: so we have an accurate story of the events.

1.95      deraadt  2667: This is the man who presumes that he should preach to us
                   2668: about morality, freedom, and what is best for us.  He believes
                   2669: it is his God-given role to tell us what is best for us, when he
                   2670: has shown that he takes actions which are not best for everyone.
1.214     bentley  2671: He prefers actions which he thinks are best for him &mdash; and him
                   2672: alone &mdash; and then lies to the public.  Richard Stallman is no Spock.
1.216     bentley  2673: <p>
1.95      deraadt  2674: We release our software in ways that are maximally free.  We
                   2675: remove all restrictions on use and distribution, but leave a
                   2676: requirement to be known as the authors.  We follow a pattern of
                   2677: free source code distribution that started in the mid-1980's
                   2678: in Berkeley, from before Richard Stallman had any powerful
                   2679: influence which he could use so falsely.
1.216     bentley  2680: <p>
1.95      deraadt  2681: We have a development sub-tree called "ports".  Our "ports" tree
                   2682: builds software that is 'found on the net' into packages that
                   2683: OpenBSD users can use more easily.  A scaffold of Makefiles and
                   2684: scripts automatically fetch these pieces of software, apply
                   2685: patches as required by OpenBSD, and then build them into nice
                   2686: neat little tarballs.  This is provided as a convenience for
1.97      okan     2687: users. The ports tree is maintained by OpenBSD entirely separately
1.95      deraadt  2688: from our main source tree.  Some of the software which is fetched
                   2689: and compiled is not as free as we would like, but what can we do.
                   2690: All the other operating system projects make exactly the same
                   2691: decision, and provide these same conveniences to their users.
1.216     bentley  2692: <p>
1.95      deraadt  2693: Richard felt that this "ports tree" of ours made OpenBSD non-free.
                   2694: He came to our mailing lists and lectured to us specifically, yet
                   2695: he said nothing to the many other vendors who do the same; many of
                   2696: them donate to the FSF and perhaps that has something to do with it.
                   2697: Meanwhile, Richard has personally made sure that all the official
1.214     bentley  2698: GNU software &mdash; including Emacs &mdash; compiles and runs on Windows.
1.216     bentley  2699: <p>
1.95      deraadt  2700: That man is a false leader.  He is a hypocrite.  There may be some
                   2701: people who listen to him.  But we don't listen to people who do not
                   2702: follow their own stupid rules.

1.91      merdely  2798: This song's lyrics express the core motivations and goals which have
1.214     bentley  2799: remained unchanged over the years &mdash; secure, free, reliable software,
1.90      deraadt  2800: that can be shared with anyone.  Many other projects purport to share
                   2801: these same goals, and love to wrap themselves in a banner of "Open
                   2802: Source" and "Free Software".  Given how many projects there are one
                   2803: would think it might be easy to stick to those goals, but it doesn't
                   2804: seem to work out that way.  A variety of desires drag many projects
                   2805: away from the ideals very quickly.
                   2806: <p>
1.93      jmc      2807: Much of any operating system's usability depends on device support,
1.91      merdely  2808: and there are some very tempting alternative ways to support devices
1.90      deraadt  2809: available to those who will surrender their moral code.  A project
                   2810: could compromise by entering into NDA agreements with vendors, or
                   2811: including binary objects in the operating system for which no source
                   2812: code exists, or tying their users down with contract terms hidden
                   2813: inside copyright notices.  All of these choices surrender some subset
                   2814: of the ideals, and we simply will not do this.  Sure, we care about
                   2815: getting devices working, but not at the expense of our original goals.
                   2816: <p>
                   2817: Of course since "free to share with anyone" is part of our goals,
                   2818: we've been at the forefront of many licensing and NDA issues,
1.91      merdely  2819: resulting in a good number of successes.  This success had led to much
1.90      deraadt  2820: recognition for the advancement of Free Software causes, but has also

                   2825: than people seem to know, and when they do, they're always still
                   2826: properly attributed to the original authors, and given back in the

1.90      deraadt  2831: we really have not strayed at all in 10 years.  But we can expect more

                   2835: Now rather than seeing us as friends who can cooperatively improve all
                   2836: codebases, we are seen as foes who oppose the GPL.  The participants
                   2837: of "the race" are being manipulated by the FSF and their legal arm, the
                   2838: SFLC, for the FSF's aims, rather than the goal of getting good source
                   2839: into Linux (and all other code bases).  We don't want this to come off
                   2840: as some conspiracy theory, but we simply urge those developers caution
1.214     bentley  2841: &mdash; they should ensure that the path they are being shown by those who
1.90      deraadt  2842: have positioned themselves as leaders is still true.  Run for yourself,

                   2846: what we do to run our own race, and finish it the best we can.  We
                   2847: don't rush off at every distraction, or worry how this will affect our

1.81      deraadt  2947: As developers of a free operating system, one of our prime responsibilities
                   2948: is device support.  No matter how nice an operating system is, it remains
                   2949: useless and unusable without solid support for a wide percentage of the
                   2950: hardware that is available on the market.  It is therefore rather unsurprising
                   2951: that more than half of our efforts focus on various aspects relating to
                   2952: device support.
                   2953: <p>
1.85      mbalmer  2954: Most parts of the operating system (from low kernel, through to libraries,
1.81      deraadt  2955: all the way up to X, and then even to applications) use fairly obvious
                   2956: interface layers, where the "communication protocols" or "argument passing"
                   2957: mechanisms (ie. APIs) can be understood by any developer who takes the
                   2958: time to read the free code.  Device drivers pose an additional and significant
                   2959: challenge though: because many vendors refuse to document the exact behavior
                   2960: of their devices.  The devices are black boxes.  And often they are surprisingly
                   2961: weird, or even buggy.
                   2962: <p>
                   2963: When vendor documentation does not exist, the development process can
                   2964: become extremely hairy.  Groups of developers have found themselves focused
                   2965: for months at a time, figuring out the most simple steps, simply because
                   2966: the hardware is a complete mystery.  Access to documentation can ease
                   2967: these difficulties rapidly.  However, getting access to the chip documentation
                   2968: from vendors is ... almost always a negotiation.  If we had open access to
1.84      matthieu 2969: documentation, anyone would be able to see how simple all these devices
1.81      deraadt  2970: actually are, and device driver development would flourish (and not just in
                   2971: OpenBSD, either).
                   2972: <p>
                   2973: When we proceed into negotiations with vendors, asking for documentation,
                   2974: our position is often weak.  One would assume that the modern market is fair,
                   2975: and that selling chips would be the primary focus of these vendors.  But
                   2976: unfortunately a number of behemoth software vendors have spent the last 10 or
                   2977: 20 years building

                   3487: <p>
1.58      deraadt  3488: For a multitude of (stupid) reasons, vendors often attempt to lock
                   3489: out our participation with their customers by refusing to give our
                   3490: programmers sufficient documentation so that we can properly support
                   3491: their devices.
                   3492: <p>
                   3493: Take Adaptec for instance.  Before the 3.7 release we disabled support
                   3494: for the
1.204     tb       3495: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=aac&amp;sektion=4">aac(4)</a>
1.58      deraadt  3496: Adaptec RAID driver because negotiations with the Adaptec had failed.
                   3497: They refused to give us documentation.  Without documentation, support
                   3498: for their controller had always been poor.  The driver had bugs (which
                   3499: affected some users more than others) which caused crashes, and of
                   3500: course there was no RAID management support.  Apparently most of these
1.59      jolan    3501: bugs are because the Adaptec controllers have numerous buggy firmware
                   3502: issues which require careful workarounds; without documentation we
                   3503: cannot solve these issues.
1.58      deraadt  3504: <p>
                   3505: The driver was written by an OpenBSD developer, who cribbed parts
                   3506: of it from a FreeBSD driver written by an ex-Adaptec employee.  But no
                   3507: public documentation exists, and Adaptec has dozens of cards with
                   3508: different firmware issues. All of this adds up to a very desperate
1.214     bentley  3509: development model &mdash; it becomes very hard for the principle of
1.58      deraadt  3510: "quality" to show its head.
                   3511: <p>
                   3512: RAID devices have two main qualities that people buy them for:
                   3513: <ul>
1.60      pvalchev 3514: <li>Redundancy
1.58      deraadt  3515: <li>Repair
                   3516: </ul>
1.216     bentley  3517: <p>
1.58      deraadt  3518: You want a RAID unit to provide you with redundancy, so that if some drives
1.60      pvalchev 3519: fail, your data is not lost.  But once a drive has failed, you require your
                   3520: array to (automatically, most likely) perform the operations to repair
1.58      deraadt  3521: itself, so that it is functioning perfectly again.
                   3522: <p>
                   3523: Some vendors (or like the above Adaptec case, ex-employee) have
                   3524: sometimes given us some documentation so that we could write drivers,
                   3525: so that their devices could support Redundancy.  But these vendors have
                   3526: never given us any documentation for performing Repairs.
                   3527: <p>
                   3528: Instead these vendors have tried to pass out non-free RAID management
                   3529: tools.  These are typically gigantic Linux binaries, or some crazy thing, that
1.67      jolan    3530: is supposed to work through a bizarre interface in the device driver, which
1.58      deraadt  3531: we are apparently supposed to write code for without any documentation.
                   3532: <p>
                   3533: And since we refuse to accept our users being forced into depending on
                   3534: vendor binaries, we have reverse engineered the management interface for
                   3535: the AMI controllers.
                   3536: <p>
                   3537: There is no great "intellectual property" in this stuff, it is all
                   3538: rather simple primitives.  This is all that we need to implement
                   3539: basic RAID management:
                   3540: <ul>
                   3541: <li>SCSI transactions on the back-side busses
                   3542: <li>Discovering which drives are in which volumes
                   3543: <li>Being able to silence the buzzer
                   3544: <li>Marking a new drive as a Hot-Spare
                   3545: </ul>
                   3546: <p>
                   3547: The AMI driver needed to support these small primitive operations.
                   3548: And once we had that, we rely on something else which we know: Almost
                   3549: all the RAID controllers would need the same primitives.
                   3550: <p>
                   3551: Thus armed, we were able to write a generic framework which would later
                   3552: work on other vendors' RAID cards, that is, once we get documentation
                   3553: or do some reverse engineering for their products.
                   3554: <p>
1.60      pvalchev 3555: But having been ignored for so long by these vendors, it is not clear when (if
                   3556: ever) we will get around to writing that support for Adaptec RAID
1.58      deraadt  3557: controllers now.  And Adaptec has gone and bought ICP Vortex, which
                   3558: may mean we can never get documentation for the

                   3563: 3Ware has lied to us and our users so many times they make politicians
                   3564: look saintly.

1.44      deraadt  3676: For an operating system to get anywhere in "the market" it must have
1.216     bentley  3677: good device support.
                   3678: <p>
1.44      deraadt  3679: Ethernet was our first concern. Many vendors refused to supply
                   3680: programmers with programming documentation for these chipsets.  Donald
                   3681: Becker (Linux) and Bill Paul (FreeBSD) changed the rules of the game
                   3682: here: They wrote drivers for the chipsets that they could get
                   3683: documentation for, and as they succeeded in writing more and more
                   3684: drivers, eventually closed vendors slowly opened up until most
                   3685: ethernet chipset documentation was available.  Today, some vendors
                   3686: still resist releasing ethernet chipset documentation (ie. Broadcom,
1.62      brad     3687: Intel, Marvell/SysKonnect, NVIDIA) but the driver problem is mostly
1.216     bentley  3688: solved in the ethernet market.
                   3689: <p>
1.44      deraadt  3690: Similar problems have happened in the SCSI, IDE, and RAID markets.
                   3691: Again, the problem was solved by writing drivers for documented
                   3692: devices first. If the free software user communities use those drivers
                   3693: preferentially, it is a market loss for the secretive vendors.
                   3694: Another approach that has worked is to publish email addresses and
                   3695: phone numbers for the marketing department managers in these

                   3848: called XFree86, 98% of which was based on entirely free

                   4091: for CARP and pfsync our request was denied.  Apparently we had failed
                   4092: to go through an official standards organization.  Consequently we
                   4093: were forced to choose a protocol number which would not conflict with
                   4094: anything else of value, and decided to place CARP at IP protocol 112.
                   4095: We also placed pfsync at an open and unused number. We informed IANA of
                   4096: these decisions, but they declined to reply.

                   4390: <p>
                   4391: As we did for the 3.3 release, we have once again tried
                   4392: making release artwork and music which are allegorical
                   4393: of recent happenings.
                   4394: <p>
                   4395: Two years ago we became involved with the University
                   4396: of Pennsylvania and DARPA, who were funding us to do
                   4397: security research and development .. on things that
                   4398: we were already intending to do.  We provided ideas,
                   4399: wrote papers, and deployed cutting-edge technology;
                   4400: DARPA provided finances and reaped a share of the
                   4401: credit, and the University of Pennsylvania acted as
                   4402: a middle-man.  We accepted funding based on the
                   4403: promise that our freedom to operate as we wished
                   4404: was unaffected. To us, freedom is more important
1.214     bentley  4405: than funding &mdash; heck, we were dealing with the evil
1.20      deraadt  4406: forces of government, and needed to be careful.
                   4407: <p>
                   4408: A few months prior to this release, DARPA suddenly
                   4409: and without warning decided to withdraw that funding;
                   4410: they also aggressively backed out of contractual
1.185     tj       4411: obligations.  Many articles in the press followed regarding
1.67      jolan    4412: this sudden maneuver.  Apparently this hoopla happened
1.20      deraadt  4413: because an OpenBSD-related article in the Canadian
1.55      tom      4414: newspaper The Globe &amp; Mail had quoted Theo de Raadt
1.20      deraadt  4415: making anti-war statements regarding Iraq and the
                   4416: theft of oil.
                   4417: <p>
                   4418: The only answer given (to major media reporters) by a
                   4419: DARPA spokesperson (Jan Walker) was this:
                   4420: <p>
                   4421: &quot;As a result of the DARPA review of the
                   4422: project, and due to world events and the evolving
                   4423: threat posed by increasingly capable nation-states,
                   4424: the Government on April 21 advised the University
                   4425: to suspend work on the "security fest" portion of
                   4426: the project.&quot;
                   4427: <p>
                   4428: That almost toes the line of calling us terrorists!
                   4429: We had lost financial support, but the release of the
                   4430: statement above suddenly made us very happy to be free
                   4431: of any perceived obligation to such crazy people.
                   4432: <p>
                   4433: Since the termination came near natural contract
                   4434: termination (about 4 months remained), less damage
                   4435: than expected was sustained by the project.  Sponsors
                   4436: stepped forward and helped us make up the missing funds
                   4437: we needed to run our "Hackathon", and the event
1.61      grunk    4438: proceeded as planned.  We even had T-shirts made with
1.20      deraadt  4439: "Workstations of Mass Development" artwork for those
                   4440: developers who attended (sorry, they are not for sale).
                   4441: <p>
                   4442: We could not make stories like this up.  So instead,
                   4443: we are making up an allegory about it, using the tale
                   4444: of Robin Hood.
