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'

It was originally added to control memory use on iOS (#2490), but then
was relaxed conditionally when running on iOS 15 (#3098). Now that we
require iOS 15, there's no need for the limit at all, so simplify back
to the original state.

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>
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.

Two changes in one:
* make DoH upgrades an explicitly scheduled send earlier, when we come
up with the resolvers-and-delay send plan. Previously we were
getting e.g. four Google DNS IPs and then spreading them out in
time (for back when we only did UDP) but then later we added DoH
upgrading at the UDP packet layer, which resulted in sometimes
multiple DoH queries to the same provider running (each doing happy
eyeballs dialing to 4x IPs themselves) for each of the 4 source IPs.
Instead, take those 4 Google/Cloudflare IPs and schedule 5 things:
first the DoH query (which can use all 4 IPs), and then each of the
4 IPs as UDP later.
* clean up the dnstype.Resolver.Addr confusion; half the code was
using it as an IP string (as documented) as half was using it as
an IP:port (from some prior type we used), primarily for tests.
Instead, document it was being primarily an IP string but also
accepting an IP:port for tests, then add an accessor method on it
to get the IPPort and use that consistently everywhere.

This extracts DOH mapping of known public DNS providers in
forwarder.go into its own package, to be consumed by other repos

We currently plumb full URLs for DNS resolvers from the control server
down to the client. But when we pass the values into the net/dns
package, we throw away any URL that isn't a bare IP. This commit
continues the plumbing, and gets the URL all the way to the built in
forwarder. (It stops before plumbing URLs into the OS configurations
that can handle them.)

Recognize Cloudflare, Google, Quad9 which are by far the
majority of upstream DNS servers that people use.
RELNOTE=MagicDNS now uses DNS-over-HTTPS when querying popular upstream resolvers,
so DNS queries aren't sent in the clear over the Internet.
Updates #915 (might fix it?)
Updates #988 (gets us closer, if it fixes Android)
Updates #74 (not yet configurable, but progress)
Updates #2056 (not yet configurable, dup of #74?)
