You need some definition of free. I could say: "VRRP is an open
standard (RFC 3768), CARP is the result of a protocol number
hijacking."


We could get into the politics of CARP and VRRP and HSRP, but i really prefer to use something that works amazingly well, with not strings attached to it :-)... hijacking or not... the politics that went in IANA, i really do not know... I mean, M$ got to pass their ooxml non-sense as a standard despite numerous rejections.




> its patented

Yes, but, as I said, *everything* is patended, from hypertext to
the search directive in resolv.conf.



there are no strings attached to their use, none that i know off anyway :-)
 



> and you will have to get licenses to use it

I know people who use vrrpd <http://vrrpd.sourceforge.net/> and
received nothing from Cisco's lawyers. Pure luck, may be?


lucky them, Alcatel got their pants sued off them for attempting to use VRRP by the apparent owners, CISCO. By the way, CISCO was working on something called HSRP, which seemed not to be working, and somewhere along the way, they took over VRRP as theirs, actually, hijacked it. but again, that is politics i'd rather steer clear of.

Of course, you might discount this possibility, but remember that one in
a million chances happen 99% of the time.
