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'

This commit does not change the order or meaning of any eventbus activity, it
only updates the way the plumbing is set up.

Instead of waiting for a designated subscription to close as a canary for the
bus being stopped, use the bus Client's own signal for closure added in #17118.

This is a small introduction of the eventbus into controlclient that
communicates with mainly ipnlocal. While ipnlocal is a complicated part
of the codebase, the subscribers here are from the perspective of
ipnlocal already called async.
Updates #15160
Signed-off-by: Claus Lensbøl <claus@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.

This takes advantage of existing functionality in ipn/ipnlocal to adjust
the local clock based on periodic time signals from the control server.
This way, when checking things like SSHRule expirations, calculations are
protected incorrectly set local clocks.

This adds an initial and intentionally minimal configuration for
golang-ci, fixes the issues reported, and adds a GitHub Action to check
new pull requests against this linter configuration.

We now handle the case where the NetworkMap.SelfNode has already expired
and do not return an expiry time in the past (which causes an ~infinite
loop of timers to fire).
Additionally, we now add an explicit check to ensure that the next
expiry time is never before the current local-to-the-system time, to
ensure that we don't end up in a similar situation due to clock skew.
Finally, we add more tests for this logic to ensure that we don't
regress on these edge cases.

This updates all source files to use a new standard header for copyright
and license declaration. Notably, copyright no longer includes a date,
and we now use the standard SPDX-License-Identifier header.
This commit was done almost entirely mechanically with perl, and then
some minimal manual fixes.
Updates #6865
Signed-off-by: Will Norris <will@tailscale.com>
In order to be able to synthesize a new NetMap when a node expires, have
LocalBackend start a timer when receiving a new NetMap that fires
slightly after the next node expires. Additionally, move the logic that
updates expired nodes into LocalBackend so it runs on every netmap
(whether received from controlclient or self-triggered).
