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'

Currently nobody calls SetTailscaleInterfaceName yet, so this is a
no-op. I checked oss, android, and the macOS/iOS client. Nobody calls
this, or ever did.
But I want to in the future.

In prep for most of the package funcs in net/interfaces to become
methods in a long-lived netmon.Monitor that can cache things. (Many
of the funcs are very heavy to call regularly, whereas the long-lived
netmon.Monitor can subscribe to things from the OS and remember
answers to questions it's asked regularly later)

This wasn't previously handling the case where an interface in s2 was
removed and not present in s1, and would cause the Equal method to
incorrectly return that the states were equal.

Currently, we get the "likely home router" gateway IP and then iterate
through all IPs for all interfaces trying to match IPs to determine the
source IP. However, on many platforms we know what interface the gateway
is through, and thus we don't need to iterate through all interfaces
checking IPs. Instead, use the IP address of the associated interface.
This better handles the case where we have multiple interfaces on a
system all connected to the same gateway, and where the first interface
that we visit (as iterated by ForeachInterfaceAddress) isn't also the
default internet route.

Before this fix, LikelyHomeRouterIP could return a 'self' IP that
doesn't correspond to the gateway address, since it picks the first
private address when iterating over the set interfaces as the 'self' IP,
without checking that the address corresponds with the
previously-detected gateway.
This behaviour was introduced by accident in aaf2df7, where we deleted
the following code:
for _, prefix := range privatev4s {
if prefix.Contains(gateway) && prefix.Contains(ip) {
myIP = ip
ok = true
return
}
}
Other than checking that 'gateway' and 'ip' were private IP addresses
(which were correctly replaced with a call to the netip.Addr.IsPrivate
method), it also implicitly checked that both 'gateway' and 'ip' were a
part of the *same* prefix, and thus likely to be the same interface.
Restore that behaviour by explicitly checking pfx.Contains(gateway),
which, given that the 'ip' variable is derived from our prefix 'pfx',
ensures that the 'self' IP will correspond to the returned 'gateway'.

This removes a lot of API from net/interfaces (including all the
filter types, EqualFiltered, active Tailscale interface func, etc) and
moves the "major" change detection to net/netmon which knows more
about the world and the previous/new states.

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.

It was pretty ill-defined before and mostly for logging. But I wanted
to start depending on it, so define what it is and make Windows match
the other operating systems, without losing the log output we had
before. (and add tests for that)

One of the most common "unexpected" log lines is:
"network state changed, but stringification didn't"
One way that this can occur is if an interesting interface
(non-Tailscale, has interesting IP address)
gains or loses an uninteresting IP address (link local or loopback).
The fact that the interface is interesting is enough for EqualFiltered
to inspect it. The fact that an IP address changed is enough for
EqualFiltered to declare that the interfaces are not equal.
But the State.String method reasonably declines to print any
uninteresting IP addresses. As a result, the network state appears
to have changed, but the stringification did not.
The String method is correct; nothing interesting happened.
This change fixes this by adding an IP address filter to EqualFiltered
in addition to the interface filter. This lets the network monitor
ignore the addition/removal of uninteresting IP addresses.

IPv6 Unique Local Addresses are sometimes used with Network
Prefix Translation to reach the Internet. In that respect
their use is similar to the private IPv4 address ranges
10/8, 172.16/12, and 192.168/16.
Treat them as sufficient for AnyInterfaceUp(), but specifically
exclude Tailscale's own IPv6 ULA prefix to avoid mistakenly
trying to bootstrap Tailscale using Tailscale.
This helps in supporting Google Cloud Run, where the addresses
are 169.254.8.1/32 and fddf:3978:feb1:d745::c001/128 on eth1.

Now callers (wgengine/monitor) don't need to mutate the state to remove
boring interfaces before calling State.Equal. Instead, the methods
to remove boring interfaces from the State are removed, as is
the reflect-using Equal method itself, and in their place is
a new EqualFiltered method that takes a func predicate to match
interfaces to compare.
And then the FilterInteresting predicate is added for use
with EqualFiltered to do the job that that wgengine/monitor
previously wanted.
Now wgengine/monitor can keep the full interface state around,
including the "boring" interfaces, which we'll need for peerapi on
macOS/iOS to bind to the interface index of the utunN device.

Basically, don't trust the OS-level link monitor to only tell you
interesting things. Sanity check it.
Also, move the interfaces package into the net directory now that we
have it.
