Citation Necessary?

Can someone provide a citation to support this sentence?:

 Because VRRP fixed problems with the HSRP protocol, Cisco began using VRRP instead, while still claiming it as its own.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.67.97.133 (talk) 02:44, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Strong bias in history section

This section is poorly worded, lopsided and contains several statements of either a speculative nature, or else which need to be backed up by appropriate citations.

Because VRRP fixed problems with the HSRP protocol^{[citation needed]}
Cisco informed the OpenBSD developers that it would enforce its patent on HSRP^{[citation needed]}
Cisco's position may have been due to their lawsuit with Alcatel^{[speculation?]}
Cisco's licensing terms prevented an open-source VRRP implementation^{[citation needed]}
They designed CARP to use cryptography.^{[citation needed]}

I just rewrote the section. I think I addressed "poorly worded" and "lopsided". The concerns over missing citations and speculation remain (all except one). I updated the bullet list above to reflect the latest wording. The eliminated concern was:

To avoid infringing the HSRP patent, they ensured their idea for CARP was fundamentally different^{[citation needed]}

The new wording doesn't attribute intent, so we no longer need a citation. I replaced that sentence with:

OpenBSD focuses on security.

I believe this to be a generally accepted fact. It is stated in the second paragraph of our OpenBSD article. Alas our article lacks an inline citation for this claim. Finding a citation isn't worth the effort (at least, not to me) because this isn't a statement that is likely to get challenged. If anyone disagrees, please flag it or find a citation.

Cisco Copyright infringement

This might help in the section above (Strong bias in history section). It is related to Cisco's patent claims on HSRP / VRRP.
