This file was never truly necessary and has never actually been used in
the history of Tailscale's open source releases.
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'

Instead of trying to call View() on something that's already a View
type (or trying to Clone the view unnecessarily), we can re-use the
existing View values in a map[T]ViewType.

This adds support for having every viewer type implement
jsonv2.MarshalerTo and jsonv2.UnmarshalerFrom.
This provides a significant boost in performance
as the json package no longer needs to validate
the entirety of the JSON value outputted by MarshalJSON,
nor does it need to identify the boundaries of a JSON value
in order to call UnmarshalJSON.
For deeply nested and recursive MarshalJSON or UnmarshalJSON calls,
this can improve runtime from O(N²) to O(N).
This still references "github.com/go-json-experiment/json"
instead of the experimental "encoding/json/v2" package
now available in Go 1.25 under goexperiment.jsonv2
so that code still builds without the experiment tag.
Of note, the "github.com/go-json-experiment/json" package
aliases the standard library under the right build conditions.
Updates tailscale/corp#791
Signed-off-by: Joe Tsai <joetsai@digital-static.net>
We have several checked type assertions to *types.Named in both cmd/cloner and cmd/viewer.
As Go 1.23 updates the go/types package to produce Alias type nodes for type aliases,
these type assertions no longer work as expected unless the new behavior is disabled
with gotypesalias=0.
In this PR, we add codegen.NamedTypeOf(t types.Type), which functions like t.(*types.Named)
but also unrolls type aliases. We then use it in place of type assertions in the cmd/cloner and
cmd/viewer packages where appropriate.
We also update type switches to include *types.Alias alongside *types.Named in relevant cases,
remove *types.Struct cases when switching on types.Type.Underlying and update the tests
with more cases where type aliases can be used.

Go 1.23 updates the go/types package to produce Alias type nodes for type aliases, unless disabled with gotypesalias=0.
This new default behavior breaks codegen.LookupMethod, which uses checked type assertions to types.Named and
types.Interface, as only named types and interfaces have methods.
In this PR, we update codegen.LookupMethod to perform method lookup on the right-hand side of the alias declaration
and clearly switch on the supported type nodes types. We also improve support for various edge cases, such as when an alias
is used as a type parameter constraint, and add tests for the LookupMethod function.
Additionally, we update cmd/viewer/tests to include types with aliases used in type fields and generic type constraints.

This adds support for generic types and interfaces to our cloner and viewer codegens.
It updates these packages to determine whether to make shallow or deep copies based
on the type parameter constraints. Additionally, if a template parameter or an interface
type has View() and Clone() methods, we'll use them for getters and the cloner of the
owning structure.

Define PeerCapabilty and PeerCapMap as the new way of sending down
inter-peer capability information.
Previously, this was unstructured and you could only send down strings
which got too limiting for certain usecases. Instead add the ability
to send down raw JSON messages that are opaque to Tailscale but provide
the applications to define them however they wish.
Also update accessors to use the new values.

This updates all source files to use a new standard header for copyright

In order to clone DERPMaps, it was necessary to extend the cloner so that it supports
nested pointers inside of maps which are also cloneable. This also adds cloning for DERPRegions

If you change a struct and don't re-run cloner,
your Cloner method might be inaccurate, leading to bad things.
To prevent this, write out the struct as it is at the moment that
cloner is caller, and attempt a conversion from that type.
If the struct gets changed in any way, this conversion will fail.
This will yield false positives: If you change a non-pointer field,
you will be forced to re-run cloner, even though the actual generated
code won't change. I think this is an acceptable cost: It is a minor
annoyance, which will prevent real bugs.
