52: What is up with some free software providers?!
53: They say "Here's something free! Oh wait, I changed my mind."
54: <p>
55: While not exactly bait-and-switch, this is something which
56: has been causing the community continual grief, and therefore
57: we decided to honour a few of the projects that have decided
58: to go non-free. After all.. having gone non-free, noone is
59: going to remember them in the end.
60: <p>
61: This song is dedicated to a few worthy groups who
62: have made this Free-to-Non-Free transition with their
63: offerings in the last few years:
64: <ul>
65: <li>David Dawes worked for years with a team of
66: developers to make a free X11 distribution for us to use,
67: called XFree86, 98% of which was based on entirely free
68: code from MIT. Suddenly, one day, he decided that
69: we must give him more credit (ie. advertise his name) or
70: stop using it. Within about 4 months every project had
71: told him to get stuffed, and the community has created a
72: replacement effort.
73: Now his team cannot even keep their web pages up to date..
74: <p>
75: <li>OpenBSD was the first operating system to integrate a
76: packet filter, and it was the ipf codebase from Darren Reed
77: that we chose. But a few years later he told us that we
78: were not free to make changes to the code. So we deleted ipf,
79: and our new packet filter far exceeds the capabilities of the
80: one he wrote. And other projects are switching too...
81: <p>
82: <li>The Apache group started from the humble beginnings
83: of just being 'a patchy' set of changes to a completely free
84: web server of dubious quality. But the years have changed them,
85: and what they supply is now quite non-free... released under
86: a license so entangled in legalize that we have absolutely no
87: doubt that there are encumberances hidden within. Legal terms
88: protect. Who are they protecting? Not your freedom.
89: </ul>
90: So here's a goodbye to those three groups, and a warning to any
91: others who will follow them:
92: Make your stuff non-free, and something else will
93: replace it.

101: Well he rode from the ocean far upstream<br>
102: Nuthin' to his name but a code and a dream<br>
103: Lookin' for the legendary inland sea<br>
104: Where the water was deep n' clean n' free<br>
105: <p>
106: But the town he found had suffered a blow<br>
1.38 ! pvalchev 107: Fish were dying, cause the water was low<br>

109: Plugged the stream with copyright laws<br>
110: <p>
111: <br>
112: He said my water's good n' my water's free<br>
113: So Pond-erosa, you gonna thank me!<br>
114: Then he bottled it up and he labeled it "Mine"<br>
115: They opened n' poured, but they ran outta time!<br>
116: <p>
117: So Puff made a brand and he tanned his hide<br>
118: Said. "this is the mark of too much pride"<br>
119: Tied him to a horse, set the tail on fire<br>
120: Slapped er on the ass and the water went higher!<br>

128: With his OpenBSD<br>
129: <p>
130: <br>
131: Well things were good fer a spell in town<br>
132: But then one day, dang water turned brown<br>
133: Comin' to the rescue, Mayor Reed<br>
134: He said, "This here filter's all ya'll need"<br>
135: <p>
136: But it didn't take long 'fore the filter plugged<br>
137: Full of mud, n' crud, n' bugs<br>
138: Folks said "gotta be a gooder way"<br>
139: Mayor said "Hell No! She's O.K."<br>
140: <p>
141: <br>
142: "The water's fine on the Open range"<br>
143: And he passed a law that it couldn't change.<br>
144: "No freeze, no boil, no frollicking young"<br>
145: Puff took him aside, said "this is wrong"<br>
146: <p>
147: Then he found the Mayor was addin' the crud!<br>
148: So he took him down in a cloud of blood<br>
149: Said "The Mayor's learnd, he's done been mean"<br>
150: So they did it right and the water went clean!<br>
151: <p>
152: <br>
153: CHORUS<br>
154: <p>
155: <br>
156: So once agin' it was right, but then<br>
157: The lake went dry, she was gone again!<br>
158: Fish started flippin' and floppin' about<br>
159: Yellin' mercy Puff! It's a dog gone drought!<br>
160: <p>
161: So he rolled up-gulch till he hit the lake<br>
162: Of Apache fish, they was on the take<br>
163: They'd built a dam that was made of rules<br>
164: Now Puff was pissed and he lost his cool!<br>

216: A common theme used by the comedy crew Monty Python was to emphasize
217: and exaggerate ridiculousnesses that their target had imposed upon
218: themselves. Few things could be considered as humorous as making a
219: redundancy protocol... redundant; e.g. being forced to replace it by
220: Cisco lawyers and IETF policy.
221: <p>
222: We've been working a few years now on our packet filtering software
223: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>
224: and it became time to add failover. We want to be able to set up pf
225: firewalls side by side, and exchange the stateful information between
226: them, so that in case of failure another could take over 'keep state'
227: sessions. Our
228: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>
229: protocol solves this problem. However, on both sides of the firewall,
230: it is also necessary to have all the regular hosts not see a
231: network failure. The only reliable way to do this is for both
232: firewall machines to have and use the same IP and MAC addresses. But
233: the only real way to do that is to use multicast protocols.
234: <p>
235: The IETF community proposed work in this direction in the late
236: 90's, however in 1997 Cisco informed them that they believed some of
237: Cisco's patents covered the proposed IETF VRRP (Virtual Router
238: Redundancy Protocol); on
239: <a href="http://www.ietf.org/ietf/IPR/VRRP-CISCO">
240: March 20, 1998 they went further and specifically named their HSRP
241: "Hot Standby Router Protocol" patent</a>. Reputedly, they were upset
242: that IETF had not simply adopted the flawed HSRP protocol as the
243: standard solution for this problem. Despite this legal pressure, the
244: IETF community forged ahead and published VRRP as a standard even
245: though there was a patent in the space. Why?
246: <a href="http://www.cs-ipv6.lancs.ac.uk/ipv6/documents/standards/general-comms/ietf/vrrp/vrrp-minutes-97dec.txt">
247: There was much deliberation</a>
248: at all levels of the IETF, and unfortunately for all of us the
249: politicians within eventually decided to allow patented technology in
250: standards -- as long as the patented technology is licensed under RAND
251: (Reasonable And Non Discriminatory) terms. As free software
252: programmers, we therefore find ourselves in the position that these
253: RAND standards must not be implemented by us, and we must deviate from
254: the standard. We find all this rather Unreasonable and Discriminatory
255: and we *will* design competing protocols. Some standards organization,
256: eh?
257: <p>
258: Due to some HSRP flaws fixed by VRRP and for compatibility with the
259: (HSRP-licensed) VRRP implementations of their competitors, Cisco in
260: recent times has largely abandoned HSRP and now relies on VRRP instead
261: -- a protocol designed for and by the community, but for which they
262: claim patent rights.
263: <p>
264: On August 7 2002, after many communications, Robert Barr (Cisco's
265: lawyer) firmly informed the OpenBSD community that Cisco would defend
266: its patents for VRRP implementations -- meaning basically that it was
267: impossible for a free software group to produce a truly free
268: implementation of the IETF standard protocol. Perhaps this is because
269: Cisco and Alcatel are currently engaged in a pair of patent lawsuits; a
270: small piece of which is Cisco attempting to use the HSRP patent
271: against Alcatel for their use of VRRP. Some IETF working group
272: members took note of our complaints,
273: <a href="http://lists.microshaft.org/pipermail/dmca_discuss/2003-April/004702.html">
274: however an attempt in April 2003 to have the IETF abandon the use of
275: patented technology failed to "reach consensus" in the IETF</a>.
276: <p>
277: A few years ago, the W3C, who designs our web protocols, tried to move
278: to a RAND policy as well (primarily because of pressure from Microsoft
279: and Apple), but the community outrage was so overpowering that they
280: backed down. Some standards groups use this policy, while others
281: avoid it -- the one differentiation being the amount of corporate
282: participation. In the IETF, the pro-RAND agents work for AT&T,
283: Alcatel, IBM, Cisco, Microsoft, and other large companies. Since IETF
284: is an open forum, they can blend in as the populace, and vote just
285: like all others, except against the community.
286: <p>
287: Translation: In failing to "reach consensus", the companies who
288: benefit from RAND won, and the community lost again.
289: <p>
290: Left with little choice, we proceeded to reinvent the wheel or, more
291: correctly, abandon the wheel entirely and go for a "hovercraft". We
292: designed CARP (Common Address Redundancy Protocol) to solve the same
293: problem that these other protocols are designed for, but without the
294: same technological basis as HSRP and VRRP. We read the patent
295: document carefully and ensured that CARP was fundamentally different.
296: We also avoided many of the flaws in HSRP and VRRP (such as an inherent
297: lack of security). And since we are OpenBSD developers, we designed
298: it to use cryptography.
299: <p>
300: The combination of
301: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>,
302: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>, and
303: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=carp&sektion=4">carp(4)</a>
304: has permitted us to build highly redundant firewalls. To date, we
305: have built a few networks that include as many as 4 firewalls, all
306: running random reboot cycles. As long as one firewall is alive in a
307: group, traffic through them moves smoothly and correctly for all of
308: our packet filter functionality. Cisco's low end products are unable
309: to do this reliably, and if they have high end products which can do
310: this, you most certainly cannot afford them.
311: <p>
312: As a final note of course, when we petitioned IANA, the IETF body
313: regulating "official" internet protocol numbers, to give us numbers
314: for CARP and pfsync our request was denied. Apparently we had failed
315: to go through an official standards organization. Consequently we
316: were forced to choose a protocol number which would not conflict with
317: anything else of value, and decided to place CARP at IP protocol 112.
318: We also placed pfsync at an open and unused number. We informed IANA of
319: these decisions, but they declined to reply.
320: <p>
321: This ridiculous situation then inspired one of our developers to create
322: this parody of the well-known Monty Python skit and song.

612: Join Puffy Hood and his Funny Fish as they take on
1.26 deraadt 613: the Sheriff (an unelected leader) and other evil
1.20 deraadt 614: forces of the draconian government!
615: <p>
616: <br>
617: As we did for the 3.3 release, we have once again tried
618: making release artwork and music which are allegorical
619: of recent happenings.
620: <p>
621: Two years ago we became involved with the University
622: of Pennsylvania and DARPA, who were funding us to do
623: security research and development .. on things that
624: we were already intending to do. We provided ideas,
625: wrote papers, and deployed cutting-edge technology;
626: DARPA provided finances and reaped a share of the
627: credit, and the University of Pennsylvania acted as
628: a middle-man. We accepted funding based on the
629: promise that our freedom to operate as we wished
630: was unaffected. To us, freedom is more important
1.21 deraadt 631: than funding -- heck, we were dealing with the evil
1.20 deraadt 632: forces of government, and needed to be careful.
633: <p>
634: A few months prior to this release, DARPA suddenly
635: and without warning decided to withdraw that funding;
636: they also aggressively backed out of contractual
637: obligations. Many articles in the <a href=press.html>press</a> followed regarding
638: this sudden manuevre. Apparently this hoopla happened
639: because an OpenBSD-related article in the Canadian
640: newspaper The Globe & Mail had quoted Theo de Raadt
641: making anti-war statements regarding Iraq and the
642: theft of oil.
643: <p>
644: The only answer given (to major media reporters) by a
645: DARPA spokesperson (Jan Walker) was this:
646: <p>
647: "As a result of the DARPA review of the
648: project, and due to world events and the evolving
649: threat posed by increasingly capable nation-states,
650: the Government on April 21 advised the University
651: to suspend work on the "security fest" portion of
652: the project."
653: <p>
654: That almost toes the line of calling us terrorists!
655: We had lost financial support, but the release of the
656: statement above suddenly made us very happy to be free
657: of any perceived obligation to such crazy people.
658: <p>
659: Since the termination came near natural contract
660: termination (about 4 months remained), less damage
661: than expected was sustained by the project. Sponsors
662: stepped forward and helped us make up the missing funds
663: we needed to run our "Hackathon", and the event
664: proceeded as planned. We even had t-shirts made with
665: "Workstations of Mass Development" artwork for those
666: developers who attended (sorry, they are not for sale).
667: <p>
668: We could not make stories like this up. So instead,
669: we are making up an allegory about it, using the tale
670: of Robin Hood.
