55: <em>
56: For a multitude of (stupid) reasons, vendors often attempt to lock
57: out our participation with their customers by refusing to give our
58: programmers sufficient documentation so that we can properly support
59: their devices.
60: <p>
61: Take Adaptec for instance. Before the 3.7 release we disabled support
62: for the
63: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=aac&sektion=4">aac(4)</a>
64: Adaptec RAID driver because negotiations with the Adaptec had failed.
65: They refused to give us documentation. Without documentation, support
66: for their controller had always been poor. The driver had bugs (which
67: affected some users more than others) which caused crashes, and of
68: course there was no RAID management support. Apparently most of these
1.59 jolan 69: bugs are because the Adaptec controllers have numerous buggy firmware
70: issues which require careful workarounds; without documentation we
71: cannot solve these issues.
1.58 deraadt 72: <p>
73: The driver was written by an OpenBSD developer, who cribbed parts
74: of it from a FreeBSD driver written by an ex-Adaptec employee. But no
75: public documentation exists, and Adaptec has dozens of cards with
76: different firmware issues. All of this adds up to a very desperate
77: development model -- it becomes very hard for the principle of
78: "quality" to show its head.
79: <p>
80: RAID devices have two main qualities that people buy them for:
81: <br>
82: <ul>
1.60 pvalchev 83: <li>Redundancy
1.58 deraadt 84: <li>Repair
85: </ul>
86: You want a RAID unit to provide you with redundancy, so that if some drives
1.60 pvalchev 87: fail, your data is not lost. But once a drive has failed, you require your
88: array to (automatically, most likely) perform the operations to repair
1.58 deraadt 89: itself, so that it is functioning perfectly again.
90: <p>
91: Some vendors (or like the above Adaptec case, ex-employee) have
92: sometimes given us some documentation so that we could write drivers,
93: so that their devices could support Redundancy. But these vendors have
94: never given us any documentation for performing Repairs.
95: <p>
96: Instead these vendors have tried to pass out non-free RAID management
97: tools. These are typically gigantic Linux binaries, or some crazy thing, that
98: is supposed to work through a bizzare interface in the device driver, which
99: we are apparently supposed to write code for without any documentation.
100: <p>
101: And since we refuse to accept our users being forced into depending on
102: vendor binaries, we have reverse engineered the management interface for
103: the AMI controllers.
104: <p>
105: There is no great "intellectual property" in this stuff, it is all
106: rather simple primitives. This is all that we need to implement
107: basic RAID management:
108: <ul>
109: <li>SCSI transactions on the back-side busses
110: <li>Discovering which drives are in which volumes
111: <li>Being able to silence the buzzer
112: <li>Marking a new drive as a Hot-Spare
113: </ul>
114: <p>
115: The AMI driver needed to support these small primitive operations.
116: And once we had that, we rely on something else which we know: Almost
117: all the RAID controllers would need the same primitives.
118: <p>
119: Thus armed, we were able to write a generic framework which would later
120: work on other vendors' RAID cards, that is, once we get documentation
121: or do some reverse engineering for their products.
122: <p>
1.60 pvalchev 123: But having been ignored for so long by these vendors, it is not clear when (if
124: ever) we will get around to writing that support for Adaptec RAID
1.58 deraadt 125: controllers now. And Adaptec has gone and bought ICP Vortex, which
126: may mean we can never get documentation for the
127: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=gdt&sektion=4">gdt(4)</a>
128: controllers.
129: The "Open Source Friendly liar" IBM owns Mylex, and Mylex has told us we
130: would not get documentation, either.
131: 3Ware has lied to us and our users so many times they make politicians
132: look saintly.
133: <p>
134: Until other vendors give us documentation, if you want reliable RAID
135: in OpenBSD, please buy
136: <a href="http://www.lsilogic.com/products/megaraid/index.html">LSI/AMI</a>
137: RAID cards. And everything
138: <a href="http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openbsd-misc&m=112630095818062&w=2">
139: will just work</a>.
140: <p>
141: And keep pestering the other vendors.

234: For an operating system to get anywhere in "the market" it must have
235: good device support.<br>
236: <br>
237: Ethernet was our first concern. Many vendors refused to supply
238: programmers with programming documentation for these chipsets. Donald
239: Becker (Linux) and Bill Paul (FreeBSD) changed the rules of the game
240: here: They wrote drivers for the chipsets that they could get
241: documentation for, and as they succeeded in writing more and more
242: drivers, eventually closed vendors slowly opened up until most
243: ethernet chipset documentation was available. Today, some vendors
244: still resist releasing ethernet chipset documentation (ie. Broadcom,
1.62 ! brad 245: Intel, Marvell/SysKonnect, NVIDIA) but the driver problem is mostly
1.46 henning 246: solved in the ethernet market.<br>
1.44 deraadt 247: <br>
248: Similar problems have happened in the SCSI, IDE, and RAID markets.
249: Again, the problem was solved by writing drivers for documented
250: devices first. If the free software user communities use those drivers
251: preferentially, it is a market loss for the secretive vendors.
252: Another approach that has worked is to publish email addresses and
253: phone numbers for the marketing department managers in these
254: companies. These email campaigns have worked almost every time.<br>
255: <br>
256: The new frontier: 802.11 wireless chipsets.<br>
257: <br>
258: Over the last six months, this came to a head in the OpenBSD project.
259: We asked our users to help us petition numerous vendors so that we
260: could get chipset documentation or redistributable firmware. Certainly, we did
1.52 deraadt 261: not succeed for some vendors. But we did influence some vendors, in
1.44 deraadt 262: particular the Taiwanese (Ralink and Realtek), who have given us
263: everything we need. We also reverse engineered the Atheros chipsets.<br>
264: <br>
265:
266: Want to help us? Avoid
267: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ipw">Intel Centrino</a>,
268: Broadcom, TI, or Connexant PrismGT chipsets.
269: Heck, avoid buying even regular
1.48 deraadt 270: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=wi">old pre-G Prism products</a>,
1.44 deraadt 271: to send a message.
1.48 deraadt 272: If you can, buy 802.11 products using chips by
1.44 deraadt 273: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=rtw">Realtek</a>,
274: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ral">Ralink</a>,
275: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=atu">Atmel</a>,
276: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=awi">ADMTek</a>,
277: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ath">Atheros</a>.
278: Our manual pages attempt to explain which vendors (ie. D-Link) box
1.52 deraadt 279: which chipsets into which product.
1.44 deraadt 280: <br>
281: <br>
282: Send a message that open support for hardware matters. A vendor in
1.56 cloder 283: Redmond largely continues their practices because they get
1.44 deraadt 284: the chipset documentation years before everyone else does.
285: What really upsets us the most is that some Linux vendors are signing
286: Non-Disclosure Agreements with vendors, or contracts that let them
287: distribute firmwares. Meanwhile both Linux and FSF head developers
1.49 nick 288: are not asking their communities to help us in our efforts to free
1.44 deraadt 289: development information for all, but are even going further and
290: telling their development communities to not work with us at
291: pressuring vendors. It is ridiculous.

394: What is up with some free software providers?!
395: They say "Here's something free! Oh wait, I changed my mind."
396: <p>
397: While not exactly bait-and-switch, this is something which
398: has been causing the community continual grief, and therefore
399: we decided to honour a few of the projects that have decided
1.41 deraadt 400: to go non-free. After all.. having gone non-free, no one is
1.37 deraadt 401: going to remember them in the end.
402: <p>
403: This song is dedicated to a few worthy groups who
404: have made this Free-to-Non-Free transition with their
405: offerings in the last few years:
406: <ul>
407: <li>David Dawes worked for years with a team of
408: developers to make a free X11 distribution for us to use,
409: called XFree86, 98% of which was based on entirely free
410: code from MIT. Suddenly, one day, he decided that
411: we must give him more credit (ie. advertise his name) or
412: stop using it. Within about 4 months every project had
413: told him to get stuffed, and the community has created a
414: replacement effort.
1.41 deraadt 415: Now his team cannot even keep their web pages up to date...
1.37 deraadt 416: <p>
417: <li>OpenBSD was the first operating system to integrate a
418: packet filter, and it was the ipf codebase from Darren Reed
419: that we chose. But a few years later he told us that we
420: were not free to make changes to the code. So we deleted ipf,
421: and our new packet filter far exceeds the capabilities of the
422: one he wrote. And other projects are switching too...
423: <p>
424: <li>The Apache group started from the humble beginnings
425: of just being 'a patchy' set of changes to a completely free
426: web server of dubious quality. But the years have changed them,
427: and what they supply is now quite non-free... released under
1.40 jolan 428: a license so entangled in legalese that we have absolutely no
1.51 jcs 429: doubt that there are encumbrances hidden within. Legal terms
1.37 deraadt 430: protect. Who are they protecting? Not your freedom.

558: A common theme used by the comedy crew Monty Python was to emphasize
559: and exaggerate ridiculousnesses that their target had imposed upon
560: themselves. Few things could be considered as humorous as making a
561: redundancy protocol... redundant; e.g. being forced to replace it by
562: Cisco lawyers and IETF policy.
563: <p>
564: We've been working a few years now on our packet filtering software
565: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>
566: and it became time to add failover. We want to be able to set up pf
567: firewalls side by side, and exchange the stateful information between
568: them, so that in case of failure another could take over 'keep state'
569: sessions. Our
570: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>
571: protocol solves this problem. However, on both sides of the firewall,
572: it is also necessary to have all the regular hosts not see a
573: network failure. The only reliable way to do this is for both
574: firewall machines to have and use the same IP and MAC addresses. But
575: the only real way to do that is to use multicast protocols.
576: <p>
577: The IETF community proposed work in this direction in the late
578: 90's, however in 1997 Cisco informed them that they believed some of
579: Cisco's patents covered the proposed IETF VRRP (Virtual Router
580: Redundancy Protocol); on
581: <a href="http://www.ietf.org/ietf/IPR/VRRP-CISCO">
582: March 20, 1998 they went further and specifically named their HSRP
583: "Hot Standby Router Protocol" patent</a>. Reputedly, they were upset
584: that IETF had not simply adopted the flawed HSRP protocol as the
585: standard solution for this problem. Despite this legal pressure, the
586: IETF community forged ahead and published VRRP as a standard even
587: though there was a patent in the space. Why?
588: <a href="http://www.cs-ipv6.lancs.ac.uk/ipv6/documents/standards/general-comms/ietf/vrrp/vrrp-minutes-97dec.txt">
589: There was much deliberation</a>
590: at all levels of the IETF, and unfortunately for all of us the
591: politicians within eventually decided to allow patented technology in
592: standards -- as long as the patented technology is licensed under RAND
593: (Reasonable And Non Discriminatory) terms. As free software
594: programmers, we therefore find ourselves in the position that these
595: RAND standards must not be implemented by us, and we must deviate from
596: the standard. We find all this rather Unreasonable and Discriminatory
597: and we *will* design competing protocols. Some standards organization,
598: eh?
599: <p>
600: Due to some HSRP flaws fixed by VRRP and for compatibility with the
601: (HSRP-licensed) VRRP implementations of their competitors, Cisco in
602: recent times has largely abandoned HSRP and now relies on VRRP instead
603: -- a protocol designed for and by the community, but for which they
604: claim patent rights.
605: <p>
606: On August 7 2002, after many communications, Robert Barr (Cisco's
607: lawyer) firmly informed the OpenBSD community that Cisco would defend
608: its patents for VRRP implementations -- meaning basically that it was
609: impossible for a free software group to produce a truly free
610: implementation of the IETF standard protocol. Perhaps this is because
611: Cisco and Alcatel are currently engaged in a pair of patent lawsuits; a
612: small piece of which is Cisco attempting to use the HSRP patent
613: against Alcatel for their use of VRRP. Some IETF working group
614: members took note of our complaints,
615: <a href="http://lists.microshaft.org/pipermail/dmca_discuss/2003-April/004702.html">
616: however an attempt in April 2003 to have the IETF abandon the use of
617: patented technology failed to "reach consensus" in the IETF</a>.
618: <p>
619: A few years ago, the W3C, who designs our web protocols, tried to move
620: to a RAND policy as well (primarily because of pressure from Microsoft
621: and Apple), but the community outrage was so overpowering that they
622: backed down. Some standards groups use this policy, while others
623: avoid it -- the one differentiation being the amount of corporate
1.55 tom 624: participation. In the IETF, the pro-RAND agents work for AT&T,
1.30 deraadt 625: Alcatel, IBM, Cisco, Microsoft, and other large companies. Since IETF
626: is an open forum, they can blend in as the populace, and vote just
627: like all others, except against the community.
628: <p>
629: Translation: In failing to "reach consensus", the companies who
630: benefit from RAND won, and the community lost again.
631: <p>
632: Left with little choice, we proceeded to reinvent the wheel or, more
633: correctly, abandon the wheel entirely and go for a "hovercraft". We
634: designed CARP (Common Address Redundancy Protocol) to solve the same
635: problem that these other protocols are designed for, but without the
636: same technological basis as HSRP and VRRP. We read the patent
637: document carefully and ensured that CARP was fundamentally different.
638: We also avoided many of the flaws in HSRP and VRRP (such as an inherent
639: lack of security). And since we are OpenBSD developers, we designed
640: it to use cryptography.
641: <p>
642: The combination of
643: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf(4)</a>,
644: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pfsync&sektion=4">pfsync(4)</a>, and
645: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=carp&sektion=4">carp(4)</a>
646: has permitted us to build highly redundant firewalls. To date, we
647: have built a few networks that include as many as 4 firewalls, all
648: running random reboot cycles. As long as one firewall is alive in a
649: group, traffic through them moves smoothly and correctly for all of
650: our packet filter functionality. Cisco's low end products are unable
651: to do this reliably, and if they have high end products which can do
652: this, you most certainly cannot afford them.
653: <p>
654: As a final note of course, when we petitioned IANA, the IETF body
655: regulating "official" internet protocol numbers, to give us numbers
656: for CARP and pfsync our request was denied. Apparently we had failed
657: to go through an official standards organization. Consequently we
658: were forced to choose a protocol number which would not conflict with
659: anything else of value, and decided to place CARP at IP protocol 112.
660: We also placed pfsync at an open and unused number. We informed IANA of
661: these decisions, but they declined to reply.
662: <p>
663: This ridiculous situation then inspired one of our developers to create
664: this parody of the well-known Monty Python skit and song.

954: Join Puffy Hood and his Funny Fish as they take on
1.26 deraadt 955: the Sheriff (an unelected leader) and other evil
1.20 deraadt 956: forces of the draconian government!
957: <p>
958: <br>
959: As we did for the 3.3 release, we have once again tried
960: making release artwork and music which are allegorical
961: of recent happenings.
962: <p>
963: Two years ago we became involved with the University
964: of Pennsylvania and DARPA, who were funding us to do
965: security research and development .. on things that
966: we were already intending to do. We provided ideas,
967: wrote papers, and deployed cutting-edge technology;
968: DARPA provided finances and reaped a share of the
969: credit, and the University of Pennsylvania acted as
970: a middle-man. We accepted funding based on the
971: promise that our freedom to operate as we wished
972: was unaffected. To us, freedom is more important
1.21 deraadt 973: than funding -- heck, we were dealing with the evil
1.20 deraadt 974: forces of government, and needed to be careful.
975: <p>
976: A few months prior to this release, DARPA suddenly
977: and without warning decided to withdraw that funding;
978: they also aggressively backed out of contractual
979: obligations. Many articles in the <a href=press.html>press</a> followed regarding
980: this sudden manuevre. Apparently this hoopla happened
981: because an OpenBSD-related article in the Canadian
1.55 tom 982: newspaper The Globe & Mail had quoted Theo de Raadt
1.20 deraadt 983: making anti-war statements regarding Iraq and the
984: theft of oil.
985: <p>
986: The only answer given (to major media reporters) by a
987: DARPA spokesperson (Jan Walker) was this:
988: <p>
989: "As a result of the DARPA review of the
990: project, and due to world events and the evolving
991: threat posed by increasingly capable nation-states,
992: the Government on April 21 advised the University
993: to suspend work on the "security fest" portion of
994: the project."
995: <p>
996: That almost toes the line of calling us terrorists!
997: We had lost financial support, but the release of the
998: statement above suddenly made us very happy to be free
999: of any perceived obligation to such crazy people.
1000: <p>
1001: Since the termination came near natural contract
1002: termination (about 4 months remained), less damage
1003: than expected was sustained by the project. Sponsors
1004: stepped forward and helped us make up the missing funds
1005: we needed to run our "Hackathon", and the event
1.61 grunk 1006: proceeded as planned. We even had T-shirts made with
1.20 deraadt 1007: "Workstations of Mass Development" artwork for those
1008: developers who attended (sorry, they are not for sale).
1009: <p>
1010: We could not make stories like this up. So instead,
1011: we are making up an allegory about it, using the tale
1012: of Robin Hood.
