sometime in the next 20 hours, i will be removing ipf from the source tree since it does not meet our freedom requirements, as have been outlined in policy.html and goals.html since the start of our project.

Log message: Remove ipf. Darren Reed has interpreted his (old, new, whichever) licence in a way that makes ipf not free according to the rules we established over 5 years ago, at www.openbsd.org/goals.html (and those same basic rules govern the other *BSD projects too). Specifically, Darren says that modified versions are not permitted. But software which OpenBSD uses and redistributes must be free to all (be they people or companies), for any purpose they wish to use it, including modification, use, peeing on, or even integration into baby mulching machines or atomic bombs to be dropped on Australia. Furthermore, we know of a number of companies using ipf with modification like us, who are now in the same situation, and we hope that some of them will work with us to fill this gap that now exists in OpenBSD (temporarily, we hope).

Theo will probably say "show me the code", but the fact is that a functional, stable packet filter implementation is non-trivial, especially one that is high-peformance.
Not to belittle the amount of work that anyone on any project has done, but OpenBSD started with the NetBSD codebase, and OpenSSH started with an older ssh release. And a _hell_ of a lot of work was done to get the two projects to the points they are at today.
If there was an older version of ipfilter that was free, then conceivably an OpenFilter could be created in 6 months. As it is ipfw or Drawbridge [1] are the only two IP packet filters I could find easily with BSD-style licenses. I don't even have an inkling how hard ipfw would be to modify, however the fact that it doesn't have a seperate project page and diff tarball is not encouraging.
