+ <title>OpenBSD 4.1 Release Song - Puffy Baba and the 40 Vendors</title>
+ <desc><![CDATA[
+ <p>
+ As developers of a free operating system, one of
+ our prime responsibilities is device support. No
+ matter how nice an operating system is, it remains
+ useless and unusable without solid support for a
+ wide percentage of the hardware that is available
+ on the market. It is therefore rather unsurprising
+ that more than half of our efforts focus on various
+ aspects relating to device support.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Most parts of the operating system (from low kernel,
+ through to libraries, all the way up to X, and then
+ even to applications) use fairly obvious interface
+ layers, where the "communication protocols" or
+ "argument passing" mechanisms (ie. APIs) can be
+ understood by any developer who takes the time to
+ read the free code. Device drivers pose an additional
+ and significant challenge though: because many
+ vendors refuse to document the exact behavior of
+ their devices. The devices are black boxes. And
+ often they are surprisingly weird, or even buggy.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ When vendor documentation does not exist, the
+ development process can become extremely hairy.
+ Groups of developers have found themselves focused
+ for months at a time, figuring out the most simple
+ steps, simply because the hardware is a complete
+ mystery. Access to documentation can ease these
+ difficulties rapidly. However, getting access to
+ the chip documentation from vendors is ... almost
+ always a negotiation. If we had open access to
+ documentation, anyone would be able to see how
+ simple all these devices actually are, and device
+ driver development would flourish (and not just in
+ OpenBSD, either).
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ When we proceed into negotiations with vendors,
+ asking for documentation, our position is often
+ weak. One would assume that the modern market is
+ fair, and that selling chips would be the primary
+ focus of these vendors. But unfortunately a number
+ of behemoth software vendors have spent the last
+ 10 or 20 years building <a
+ href="http://www.openbsd.org/papers/brhard2007/mgp00024.html">political
+ hurdles against the smaller players</a>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ A particularly nasty player in this regard has been
+ the Linux vendors and some Linux developers, who
+ have played along with an American corporate model
+ of requiring NDAs for chip documentation. This has
+ effectively put Linux into the club with Microsoft,
+ but has left all the other operating system communities
+ -- and their developers -- with much less available
+ clout for requesting documentation. In a more fair
+ world, the Linux vendors would work with us, and
+ the device driver support in all free operating
+ systems would be fantastic by now.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ We only ask that <a
+ href="http://www.openbsd.org/papers/brhard2007/mgp00027.html">users
+ help</a> us in changing the political landscape.
