A Brief History of AUTHORS files
---
The AUTHORS file was a pattern developed at Google, originally for
Chromium, then adopted by Go and a bunch of other projects. The problem
was that Chromium originally had a copyright line only recognizing
Google as the copyright holder. Because Google (and most open source
projects) do not require copyright assignemnt for contributions, each
contributor maintains their copyright. Some large corporate contributors
then tried to add their own name to the copyright line in the LICENSE
file or in file headers. This quickly becomes unwieldy, and puts a
tremendous burden on anyone building on top of Chromium, since the
license requires that they keep all copyright lines intact.
The compromise was to create an AUTHORS file that would list all of the
copyright holders. The LICENSE file and source file headers would then
include that list by reference, listing the copyright holder as "The
Chromium Authors".
This also become cumbersome to simply keep the file up to date with a
high rate of new contributors. Plus it's not always obvious who the
copyright holder is. Sometimes it is the individual making the
contribution, but many times it may be their employer. There is no way
for the proejct maintainer to know.
Eventually, Google changed their policy to no longer recommend trying to
keep the AUTHORS file up to date proactively, and instead to only add to
it when requested: https://opensource.google/docs/releasing/authors.
They are also clear that:
> Adding contributors to the AUTHORS file is entirely within the
> project's discretion and has no implications for copyright ownership.
It was primarily added to appease a small number of large contributors
that insisted that they be recognized as copyright holders (which was
entirely their right to do). But it's not truly necessary, and not even
the most accurate way of identifying contributors and/or copyright
holders.
In practice, we've never added anyone to our AUTHORS file. It only lists
Tailscale, so it's not really serving any purpose. It also causes
confusion because Tailscalars put the "Tailscale Inc & AUTHORS" header
in other open source repos which don't actually have an AUTHORS file, so
it's ambiguous what that means.
Instead, we just acknowledge that the contributors to Tailscale (whoever
they are) are copyright holders for their individual contributions. We
also have the benefit of using the DCO (developercertificate.org) which
provides some additional certification of their right to make the
contribution.
The source file changes were purely mechanical with:
git ls-files | xargs sed -i -e 's/\(Tailscale Inc &\) AUTHORS/\1 contributors/g'

And fix up the TestAutoUpdateDefaults integration tests as they
weren't testing reality: the DefaultAutoUpdate is supposed to only be
relevant on the first MapResponse in the stream, but the tests weren't
testing that. They were instead injecting a 2nd+ MapResponse.
This changes the test control server to add a hook to modify the first
map response, and then makes the test control when the node goes up
and down to make new map responses.
Also, the test now runs on macOS where the auto-update feature being
disabled would've previously t.Skipped the whole test.

This reverts commit 6a93b17c8c.
The reverted commit added more complexity than it was worth at the
current stage. Handling delta CapVer changes requires extensive changes
to relayManager datastructures in order to also support delta updates of
relay servers.

This enables us to mark nodes as relay capable or not. We don't actually
do that yet, as we haven't established a relay CapVer.

Removing in favour of adding this in CapMaps instead (#14829).
Updates tailscale/corp#16016
Signed-off-by: James Sanderson <jsanderson@tailscale.com>
This deprecates the old "DERP string" packing a DERP region ID into an
IP:port of 127.3.3.40:$REGION_ID and just uses an integer, like
PeerChange.DERPRegion does.
We still support servers sending the old form; they're converted to
the new form internally right when they're read off the network.

The cmpx.Compare function (and associated interface) are now available
in the standard library as cmp.Compare. Remove our version of it and use
the version from the standard library.

When auto-update setting in local Prefs is unset, apply the tailnet
default value from control. This only happens once, when we apply the
default (or when the user manually overrides it), tailnet default no
longer affects the node.
Updates #16244
Signed-off-by: Andrew Lytvynov <awly@tailscale.com>
We have some flaky integration tests elsewhere that have no one place
to ask about the state of the world. This makes LocalBackend be that
place (as it's basically there anyway) but doesn't yet add the ForTest
accessor method.
This adds a LocalBackend.peers map[NodeID]NodeView that is
incrementally updated as mutations arrive. And then we start moving
away from using NetMap.Peers at runtime (UpdateStatus no longer uses
it now). And remove another copy of NodeView in the LocalBackend
nodeByAddr map. Change that to point into b.peers instead.
Future changes will then start streaming whole-node-granularity peer
change updates to WatchIPNBus clients, tracking statefully per client
what each has seen. This will get the GUI clients from receiving less
of a JSON storm of updates all the time.
