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 truncates any additional information (mainly hostnames) that's passed to controlD via DOH URL in DoHIPsOfBase.
This change is to make sure only resolverID is passed to controlDv6Gen but not the additional information.

In this commit I updated the Ipv6 range we use to generate Control D DOH ip, we were using the NextDNSRanges to generate Control D DOH ip, updated to use the correct range.
Updates: #7946

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>
I brain-o'ed the math earlier. The NextDNS prefix is /32 (actually
/33, but will guarantee last bit is 0), so we have 128-32 = 96 bits
(12 bytes) of config/profile ID that we can extract. NextDNS doesn't
currently use all those, but might.

The plan has changed. Doing query parameters rather than path +
heades. NextDNS added support for query parameters.

NextDNS is unique in that users create accounts and then get
user-specific DNS IPs & DoH URLs.
For DoH, the customer ID is in the URL path.
For IPv6, the IP address includes the customer ID in the lower bits.
For IPv4, there's a fragile "IP linking" mechanism to associate your
public IPv4 with an assigned NextDNS IPv4 and that tuple maps to your
customer ID.
We don't use the IP linking mechanism.
Instead, NextDNS is DoH-only. Which means using NextDNS necessarily
shunts all DNS traffic through 100.100.100.100 (programming the OS to
use 100.100.100.100 as the global resolver) because operating systems
can't usually do DoH themselves.
Once it's in Tailscale's DoH client, we then connect out to the known
NextDNS IPv4/IPv6 anycast addresses.
If the control plane sends the client a NextDNS IPv6 address, we then
map it to the corresponding NextDNS DoH with the same client ID, and
we dial that DoH server using the combination of v4/v6 anycast IPs.
