                    288: didn't find other places as interesting, or didn't want to write

                    293: or integrate pieces normally not part of a unix system (such as the

                    296: <p>
                    297: In doing so, we didn't annoy too many people because we stayed true to
                    298: the spirit of old BSD unix.  It <i>feels</i> like modernized SunOS 4.0,

                    302: <p>

                    305: Our libc work is in other places.  OpenSSH, privsep, and W^X and

1.202     deraadt   485: OpenBSD was only a few months old when
                    486: we realized that read-only repository access
                    487: for everyone was a critical concept.
                    488: <p>
                    489: Previously, open source projects would make
                    490: occasional releases accompanied by tarballs of
                    491: final source files and Changelogs files, but would
                    492: not expose the step-by-step changes of the
                    493: development process.  Unwittingly all open source
                    494: projects were operating with a walled garden
                    495: approach.
                    496: <p>
                    497: Chuck Cranor and I worked on the anoncvs feature, and
                    498: Bob Beck soon became involved in moving the anoncvs
                    499: mirror off my overloaded ISDN network to the
                    500: University of Alberta, thereby increasing our capacity
                    501: to deliver.  Nowadays there are many anoncvs mirrors.
                    502: <p>
                    503: The introduction of anoncvs meant people without commit
                    504: access could read the commit logs, as well as each
                    505: committed diff.  They could reason about the past as
                    506: they proposed new changes.
                    507: <p>
                    508: Anoncvs had an immediate impact expanding our development
                    509: group. We were inundated with high quality diffs.  These
                    510: outsider developers wrote excellent changes because they had
                    511: sufficient context to reason upon.  Those who overwhelmed us
                    512: with good changes became developers with commit access.  We
                    513: were forced to hand out commit accounts like candy.
                    514: <p>
                    515: Some people said we would never last.  Their cynicism
                    516: could almost be thanked for the increase in openness
                    517: we embraced, and then our openness probably led others
                    518: to embrace it also.

                   1591: the <b>time_t</b> type was changed to int64_t on all

                   1596: The next part of the process was to drag the "ports" software

1.144     deraadt  1598: machines to run with 64-bit <b>time_t</b>.  This required a fair

                   1601: be more fixing in the future, but the concept is proven.

1.104     deraadt  2569: than the lawsuit which followed.  Sure, a stupid lawsuit happened which
                   2570: hindered the acceptance of the BSD code during a critical period.
                   2571: But how did a bunch of guys go through the effort of replacing so
                   2572: much AT&T code in the first place? After all, companies had
1.214     bentley  2573: lots of really evil lawyers back then too &mdash; were they not afraid?
1.216     bentley  2574: <p>
1.104     deraadt  2575: After a decade of development, most of the AT&T code had
                   2576: already been replaced by university researchers and their associates.
                   2577: So Keith Bostic, Mike Karels and Kirk McKusick (the main UCB CSRG group)
                   2578: started going through the 4.3BSD codebase to cleanse the rest.
                   2579: Keith, in particular, built a ragtag team (in those days, USENIX
                   2580: conferences were a gold mine for such team building) and led these
                   2581: rebels to rewrite and replace all the Imperial AT&T code, piece by
                   2582: piece, starting with the libraries and userland programs.

                   2593: (basically AT&T) sued BSDi and UCB.
                   2594: Eventually AT&T lost and after a few trifling fixes (described in the
                   2595: lawsuit documents) the codebase was free.  A few newer developments
                   2596: (and more free code) were added, and released in June 1994 as 4.4BSD-Lite.
                   2597: Just over 14 years later OpenBSD is releasing its own 4.4 release (and for

1.102     deraadt  2716: Washington Dulles International Airport for take-off to New Orleans
                   2717: (where a Usenix conference was taking place), one man stood up from
                   2718: his seat, demanded that they stop waiting in the queue and be permitted
1.95      deraadt  2719: to deplane.  Even after orders from the crew and a pilot from

1.96      deraadt  2721: and returned to the airport gangway.  Security personnel ran onto
1.95      deraadt  2722: the plane and removed this man, Richard Stallman, from the plane.
                   2723: After Richard was removed from the plane, everyone else stayed
                   2724: onboard and continued their journey to New Orleans.  A few

                   2731: has shown that he takes actions which are not best for everyone.

                   2733: alone &mdash; and then lies to the public.  Richard Stallman is no Spock.

1.95      deraadt  2742: We have a development sub-tree called "ports".  Our "ports" tree
                   2743: builds software that is 'found on the net' into packages that
                   2744: OpenBSD users can use more easily.  A scaffold of Makefiles and

1.95      deraadt  2754: Richard felt that this "ports tree" of ours made OpenBSD non-free.
                   2755: He came to our mailing lists and lectured to us specifically, yet
                   2756: he said nothing to the many other vendors who do the same; many of
                   2757: them donate to the FSF and perhaps that has something to do with it.
                   2758: Meanwhile, Richard has personally made sure that all the official

1.91      merdely  2859: This song's lyrics express the core motivations and goals which have
1.214     bentley  2860: remained unchanged over the years &mdash; secure, free, reliable software,
1.90      deraadt  2861: that can be shared with anyone.  Many other projects purport to share
                   2862: these same goals, and love to wrap themselves in a banner of "Open
                   2863: Source" and "Free Software".  Given how many projects there are one
                   2864: would think it might be easy to stick to those goals, but it doesn't
                   2865: seem to work out that way.  A variety of desires drag many projects
                   2866: away from the ideals very quickly.
                   2867: <p>
1.93      jmc      2868: Much of any operating system's usability depends on device support,
1.91      merdely  2869: and there are some very tempting alternative ways to support devices
1.90      deraadt  2870: available to those who will surrender their moral code.  A project
                   2871: could compromise by entering into NDA agreements with vendors, or
                   2872: including binary objects in the operating system for which no source

                   2874: inside copyright notices.  All of these choices surrender some subset
                   2875: of the ideals, and we simply will not do this.  Sure, we care about
                   2876: getting devices working, but not at the expense of our original goals.
                   2877: <p>
                   2878: Of course since "free to share with anyone" is part of our goals,

1.91      merdely  2880: resulting in a good number of successes.  This success had led to much

                   2885: by many commercial entities, but contributions come back more often
                   2886: than people seem to know, and when they do, they're always still
                   2887: properly attributed to the original authors, and given back in the
                   2888: same spirit that they were given in the first place.
                   2889: <p>
                   2890: That's the best we can expect from companies.  After all, we make our

1.81      deraadt  3008: As developers of a free operating system, one of our prime responsibilities
                   3009: is device support.  No matter how nice an operating system is, it remains
                   3010: useless and unusable without solid support for a wide percentage of the
                   3011: hardware that is available on the market.  It is therefore rather unsurprising
                   3012: that more than half of our efforts focus on various aspects relating to
                   3013: device support.
                   3014: <p>
1.85      mbalmer  3015: Most parts of the operating system (from low kernel, through to libraries,
1.81      deraadt  3016: all the way up to X, and then even to applications) use fairly obvious
                   3017: interface layers, where the "communication protocols" or "argument passing"
                   3018: mechanisms (ie. APIs) can be understood by any developer who takes the
                   3019: time to read the free code.  Device drivers pose an additional and significant
                   3020: challenge though: because many vendors refuse to document the exact behavior
                   3021: of their devices.  The devices are black boxes.  And often they are surprisingly
                   3022: weird, or even buggy.
                   3023: <p>
                   3024: When vendor documentation does not exist, the development process can
                   3025: become extremely hairy.  Groups of developers have found themselves focused
                   3026: for months at a time, figuring out the most simple steps, simply because
                   3027: the hardware is a complete mystery.  Access to documentation can ease
                   3028: these difficulties rapidly.  However, getting access to the chip documentation
                   3029: from vendors is ... almost always a negotiation.  If we had open access to
1.84      matthieu 3030: documentation, anyone would be able to see how simple all these devices
1.81      deraadt  3031: actually are, and device driver development would flourish (and not just in
                   3032: OpenBSD, either).
                   3033: <p>
                   3034: When we proceed into negotiations with vendors, asking for documentation,
                   3035: our position is often weak.  One would assume that the modern market is fair,
                   3036: and that selling chips would be the primary focus of these vendors.  But
                   3037: unfortunately a number of behemoth software vendors have spent the last 10 or
                   3038: 20 years building

                   3384: obscure the details of how to make their hardware work. They hide bugs
                   3385: and workarounds for bugs. Newer versions of blobs can weaken support

                   3559: for their controller had always been poor.  The driver had bugs (which
                   3560: affected some users more than others) which caused crashes, and of
                   3561: course there was no RAID management support.  Apparently most of these
1.59      jolan    3562: bugs are because the Adaptec controllers have numerous buggy firmware
                   3563: issues which require careful workarounds; without documentation we

                   3566: The driver was written by an OpenBSD developer, who cribbed parts

                   3568: public documentation exists, and Adaptec has dozens of cards with
                   3569: different firmware issues. All of this adds up to a very desperate
1.214     bentley  3570: development model &mdash; it becomes very hard for the principle of

1.58      deraadt  3579: You want a RAID unit to provide you with redundancy, so that if some drives
1.60      pvalchev 3580: fail, your data is not lost.  But once a drive has failed, you require your
                   3581: array to (automatically, most likely) perform the operations to repair
1.58      deraadt  3582: itself, so that it is functioning perfectly again.
                   3583: <p>
                   3584: Some vendors (or like the above Adaptec case, ex-employee) have
                   3585: sometimes given us some documentation so that we could write drivers,
                   3586: so that their devices could support Redundancy.  But these vendors have
                   3587: never given us any documentation for performing Repairs.
                   3588: <p>
                   3589: Instead these vendors have tried to pass out non-free RAID management
                   3590: tools.  These are typically gigantic Linux binaries, or some crazy thing, that
1.67      jolan    3591: is supposed to work through a bizarre interface in the device driver, which
1.58      deraadt  3592: we are apparently supposed to write code for without any documentation.
                   3593: <p>
                   3594: And since we refuse to accept our users being forced into depending on
                   3595: vendor binaries, we have reverse engineered the management interface for
                   3596: the AMI controllers.
                   3597: <p>
                   3598: There is no great "intellectual property" in this stuff, it is all
                   3599: rather simple primitives.  This is all that we need to implement
                   3600: basic RAID management:
                   3601: <ul>
                   3602: <li>SCSI transactions on the back-side busses
                   3603: <li>Discovering which drives are in which volumes
                   3604: <li>Being able to silence the buzzer
                   3605: <li>Marking a new drive as a Hot-Spare
                   3606: </ul>
                   3607: <p>
                   3608: The AMI driver needed to support these small primitive operations.
                   3609: And once we had that, we rely on something else which we know: Almost
                   3610: all the RAID controllers would need the same primitives.
                   3611: <p>
                   3612: Thus armed, we were able to write a generic framework which would later
                   3613: work on other vendors' RAID cards, that is, once we get documentation
                   3614: or do some reverse engineering for their products.
                   3615: <p>
1.60      pvalchev 3616: But having been ignored for so long by these vendors, it is not clear when (if
                   3617: ever) we will get around to writing that support for Adaptec RAID
1.58      deraadt  3618: controllers now.  And Adaptec has gone and bought ICP Vortex, which

                   3739: <p>
1.44      deraadt  3740: Ethernet was our first concern. Many vendors refused to supply
                   3741: programmers with programming documentation for these chipsets.  Donald
                   3742: Becker (Linux) and Bill Paul (FreeBSD) changed the rules of the game
                   3743: here: They wrote drivers for the chipsets that they could get
                   3744: documentation for, and as they succeeded in writing more and more
                   3745: drivers, eventually closed vendors slowly opened up until most
                   3746: ethernet chipset documentation was available.  Today, some vendors
                   3747: still resist releasing ethernet chipset documentation (ie. Broadcom,
1.62      brad     3748: Intel, Marvell/SysKonnect, NVIDIA) but the driver problem is mostly
1.216     bentley  3749: solved in the ethernet market.
                   3750: <p>
1.44      deraadt  3751: Similar problems have happened in the SCSI, IDE, and RAID markets.
                   3752: Again, the problem was solved by writing drivers for documented
                   3753: devices first. If the free software user communities use those drivers
                   3754: preferentially, it is a market loss for the secretive vendors.
                   3755: Another approach that has worked is to publish email addresses and

                   3904: have made this Free-to-Non-Free transition with their
                   3905: offerings in the last few years:
                   3906: <ul>
                   3907: <li>David Dawes worked for years with a team of
                   3908: developers to make a free X11 distribution for us to use,
                   3909: called XFree86, 98% of which was based on entirely free
                   3910: code from MIT. Suddenly, one day, he decided that
                   3911: we must give him more credit (ie. advertise his name) or
                   3912: stop using it.  Within about 4 months every project had
                   3913: told him to get stuffed, and the community has created a
                   3914: replacement effort.
1.41      deraadt  3915: Now his team cannot even keep their web pages up to date...
1.37      deraadt  3916: <li>OpenBSD was the first operating system to integrate a
                   3917: packet filter, and it was the ipf codebase from Darren Reed
                   3918: that we chose.  But a few years later he told us that we
                   3919: were not free to make changes to the code.  So we deleted ipf,
                   3920: and our new packet filter far exceeds the capabilities of the
                   3921: one he wrote. And other projects are switching too...
                   3922: <li>The Apache group started from the humble beginnings
                   3923: of just being 'a patchy' set of changes to a completely free
                   3924: web server of dubious quality.  But the years have changed them,
                   3925: and what they supply is now quite non-free... released under
1.40      jolan    3926: a license so entangled in legalese that we have absolutely no
1.51      jcs      3927: doubt that there are encumbrances hidden within.  Legal terms

                   4451: <p>
                   4452: As we did for the 3.3 release, we have once again tried
                   4453: making release artwork and music which are allegorical
                   4454: of recent happenings.
                   4455: <p>
                   4456: Two years ago we became involved with the University
                   4457: of Pennsylvania and DARPA, who were funding us to do
                   4458: security research and development .. on things that
                   4459: we were already intending to do.  We provided ideas,
                   4460: wrote papers, and deployed cutting-edge technology;
                   4461: DARPA provided finances and reaped a share of the
                   4462: credit, and the University of Pennsylvania acted as
                   4463: a middle-man.  We accepted funding based on the
                   4464: promise that our freedom to operate as we wished
                   4465: was unaffected. To us, freedom is more important
1.214     bentley  4466: than funding &mdash; heck, we were dealing with the evil
1.20      deraadt  4467: forces of government, and needed to be careful.
                   4468: <p>
                   4469: A few months prior to this release, DARPA suddenly
                   4470: and without warning decided to withdraw that funding;
                   4471: they also aggressively backed out of contractual
1.185     tj       4472: obligations.  Many articles in the press followed regarding
1.67      jolan    4473: this sudden maneuver.  Apparently this hoopla happened
1.20      deraadt  4474: because an OpenBSD-related article in the Canadian
1.55      tom      4475: newspaper The Globe &amp; Mail had quoted Theo de Raadt
1.20      deraadt  4476: making anti-war statements regarding Iraq and the
                   4477: theft of oil.
                   4478: <p>
                   4479: The only answer given (to major media reporters) by a
                   4480: DARPA spokesperson (Jan Walker) was this:
                   4481: <p>
                   4482: &quot;As a result of the DARPA review of the
                   4483: project, and due to world events and the evolving
                   4484: threat posed by increasingly capable nation-states,
                   4485: the Government on April 21 advised the University
                   4486: to suspend work on the "security fest" portion of
                   4487: the project.&quot;
                   4488: <p>
                   4489: That almost toes the line of calling us terrorists!
                   4490: We had lost financial support, but the release of the
                   4491: statement above suddenly made us very happy to be free
                   4492: of any perceived obligation to such crazy people.
                   4493: <p>
                   4494: Since the termination came near natural contract
                   4495: termination (about 4 months remained), less damage
                   4496: than expected was sustained by the project.  Sponsors
                   4497: stepped forward and helped us make up the missing funds
                   4498: we needed to run our "Hackathon", and the event
1.61      grunk    4499: proceeded as planned.  We even had T-shirts made with
1.20      deraadt  4500: "Workstations of Mass Development" artwork for those
                   4501: developers who attended (sorry, they are not for sale).
                   4502: <p>
                   4503: We could not make stories like this up.  So instead,
                   4504: we are making up an allegory about it, using the tale
                   4505: of Robin Hood.
