                    328: obscure the details of how to make their hardware work. They hide bugs

                    510: For a multitude of (stupid) reasons, vendors often attempt to lock
                    511: out our participation with their customers by refusing to give our
                    512: programmers sufficient documentation so that we can properly support
                    513: their devices.
                    514: <p>
                    515: Take Adaptec for instance.  Before the 3.7 release we disabled support
                    516: for the
1.70      steven    517: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=aac&amp;sektion=4">aac(4)</a>
1.58      deraadt   518: Adaptec RAID driver because negotiations with the Adaptec had failed.
                    519: They refused to give us documentation.  Without documentation, support
                    520: for their controller had always been poor.  The driver had bugs (which
                    521: affected some users more than others) which caused crashes, and of
                    522: course there was no RAID management support.  Apparently most of these
1.59      jolan     523: bugs are because the Adaptec controllers have numerous buggy firmware
                    524: issues which require careful workarounds; without documentation we
                    525: cannot solve these issues.
1.58      deraadt   526: <p>
                    527: The driver was written by an OpenBSD developer, who cribbed parts
                    528: of it from a FreeBSD driver written by an ex-Adaptec employee.  But no
                    529: public documentation exists, and Adaptec has dozens of cards with
                    530: different firmware issues. All of this adds up to a very desperate
                    531: development model -- it becomes very hard for the principle of
                    532: "quality" to show its head.
                    533: <p>
                    534: RAID devices have two main qualities that people buy them for:
                    535: <br>
                    536: <ul>
1.60      pvalchev  537: <li>Redundancy
1.58      deraadt   538: <li>Repair
                    539: </ul>
                    540: You want a RAID unit to provide you with redundancy, so that if some drives
1.60      pvalchev  541: fail, your data is not lost.  But once a drive has failed, you require your
                    542: array to (automatically, most likely) perform the operations to repair
1.58      deraadt   543: itself, so that it is functioning perfectly again.
                    544: <p>
                    545: Some vendors (or like the above Adaptec case, ex-employee) have
                    546: sometimes given us some documentation so that we could write drivers,
                    547: so that their devices could support Redundancy.  But these vendors have
                    548: never given us any documentation for performing Repairs.
                    549: <p>
                    550: Instead these vendors have tried to pass out non-free RAID management
                    551: tools.  These are typically gigantic Linux binaries, or some crazy thing, that
1.67      jolan     552: is supposed to work through a bizarre interface in the device driver, which
1.58      deraadt   553: we are apparently supposed to write code for without any documentation.
                    554: <p>
                    555: And since we refuse to accept our users being forced into depending on
                    556: vendor binaries, we have reverse engineered the management interface for
                    557: the AMI controllers.
                    558: <p>
                    559: There is no great "intellectual property" in this stuff, it is all
                    560: rather simple primitives.  This is all that we need to implement
                    561: basic RAID management:
                    562: <ul>
                    563: <li>SCSI transactions on the back-side busses
                    564: <li>Discovering which drives are in which volumes
                    565: <li>Being able to silence the buzzer
                    566: <li>Marking a new drive as a Hot-Spare
                    567: </ul>
                    568: <p>
                    569: The AMI driver needed to support these small primitive operations.
                    570: And once we had that, we rely on something else which we know: Almost
                    571: all the RAID controllers would need the same primitives.
                    572: <p>
                    573: Thus armed, we were able to write a generic framework which would later
                    574: work on other vendors' RAID cards, that is, once we get documentation
                    575: or do some reverse engineering for their products.
                    576: <p>
1.60      pvalchev  577: But having been ignored for so long by these vendors, it is not clear when (if
                    578: ever) we will get around to writing that support for Adaptec RAID
1.58      deraadt   579: controllers now.  And Adaptec has gone and bought ICP Vortex, which
                    580: may mean we can never get documentation for the

                    583: The "Open Source Friendly liar" IBM owns Mylex, and Mylex has told us we
                    584: would not get documentation, either.
                    585: 3Ware has lied to us and our users so many times they make politicians
                    586: look saintly.
                    587: <p>
                    588: Until other vendors give us documentation, if you want reliable RAID

                    690: For an operating system to get anywhere in "the market" it must have

                    692: <br>
                    693: Ethernet was our first concern. Many vendors refused to supply
                    694: programmers with programming documentation for these chipsets.  Donald
                    695: Becker (Linux) and Bill Paul (FreeBSD) changed the rules of the game
                    696: here: They wrote drivers for the chipsets that they could get
                    697: documentation for, and as they succeeded in writing more and more
                    698: drivers, eventually closed vendors slowly opened up until most
                    699: ethernet chipset documentation was available.  Today, some vendors
                    700: still resist releasing ethernet chipset documentation (ie. Broadcom,
1.62      brad      701: Intel, Marvell/SysKonnect, NVIDIA) but the driver problem is mostly

                    704: Similar problems have happened in the SCSI, IDE, and RAID markets.
                    705: Again, the problem was solved by writing drivers for documented
                    706: devices first. If the free software user communities use those drivers
                    707: preferentially, it is a market loss for the secretive vendors.
                    708: Another approach that has worked is to publish email addresses and
                    709: phone numbers for the marketing department managers in these
                    710: companies.  These email campaigns have worked almost every time.<br>

                    864: <ul>
                    865: <li>David Dawes worked for years with a team of
                    866: developers to make a free X11 distribution for us to use,
                    867: called XFree86, 98% of which was based on entirely free
                    868: code from MIT. Suddenly, one day, he decided that

                    877: that we chose.  But a few years later he told us that we

                    879: and our new packet filter far exceeds the capabilities of the
                    880: one he wrote. And other projects are switching too...
                    881: <p>
                    882: <li>The Apache group started from the humble beginnings
                    883: of just being 'a patchy' set of changes to a completely free
                    884: web server of dubious quality.  But the years have changed them,
                    885: and what they supply is now quite non-free... released under
1.40      jolan     886: a license so entangled in legalese that we have absolutely no

                   1082: backed down.  Some standards groups use this policy, while others
                   1083: avoid it -- the one differentiation being the amount of corporate

                   1113: <p>
                   1114: As a final note of course, when we petitioned IANA, the IETF body
                   1115: regulating "official" internet protocol numbers, to give us numbers
                   1116: for CARP and pfsync our request was denied.  Apparently we had failed
                   1117: to go through an official standards organization.  Consequently we
                   1118: were forced to choose a protocol number which would not conflict with
                   1119: anything else of value, and decided to place CARP at IP protocol 112.
                   1120: We also placed pfsync at an open and unused number. We informed IANA of
                   1121: these decisions, but they declined to reply.
                   1122: <p>

                   1425: Two years ago we became involved with the University
                   1426: of Pennsylvania and DARPA, who were funding us to do
                   1427: security research and development .. on things that
                   1428: we were already intending to do.  We provided ideas,
                   1429: wrote papers, and deployed cutting-edge technology;
                   1430: DARPA provided finances and reaped a share of the
                   1431: credit, and the University of Pennsylvania acted as
                   1432: a middle-man.  We accepted funding based on the
                   1433: promise that our freedom to operate as we wished
                   1434: was unaffected. To us, freedom is more important
1.21      deraadt  1435: than funding -- heck, we were dealing with the evil
1.20      deraadt  1436: forces of government, and needed to be careful.
                   1437: <p>
                   1438: A few months prior to this release, DARPA suddenly
                   1439: and without warning decided to withdraw that funding;
                   1440: they also aggressively backed out of contractual
                   1441: obligations.  Many articles in the <a href=press.html>press</a> followed regarding
1.67      jolan    1442: this sudden maneuver.  Apparently this hoopla happened
1.20      deraadt  1443: because an OpenBSD-related article in the Canadian
1.55      tom      1444: newspaper The Globe &amp; Mail had quoted Theo de Raadt
1.20      deraadt  1445: making anti-war statements regarding Iraq and the
                   1446: theft of oil.

                   1448: The only answer given (to major media reporters) by a
                   1449: DARPA spokesperson (Jan Walker) was this:
                   1450: <p>
                   1451: &quot;As a result of the DARPA review of the
                   1452: project, and due to world events and the evolving
                   1453: threat posed by increasingly capable nation-states,
                   1454: the Government on April 21 advised the University
                   1455: to suspend work on the "security fest" portion of
                   1456: the project.&quot;
                   1457: <p>
                   1458: That almost toes the line of calling us terrorists!
                   1459: We had lost financial support, but the release of the
                   1460: statement above suddenly made us very happy to be free
                   1461: of any perceived obligation to such crazy people.
                   1462: <p>
                   1463: Since the termination came near natural contract
                   1464: termination (about 4 months remained), less damage
                   1465: than expected was sustained by the project.  Sponsors
                   1466: stepped forward and helped us make up the missing funds
                   1467: we needed to run our "Hackathon", and the event
1.61      grunk    1468: proceeded as planned.  We even had T-shirts made with
1.20      deraadt  1469: "Workstations of Mass Development" artwork for those

                   1472: We could not make stories like this up.  So instead,
                   1473: we are making up an allegory about it, using the tale
                   1474: of Robin Hood.
