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'

Disable TCP & UDP GRO if the probe fails.
torvalds/linux@e269d79c7d35aa3808b1f3c1737d63dab504ddc8 broke virtio_net
TCP & UDP GRO causing GRO writes to return EINVAL. The bug was then
resolved later in

DefaultMTU() into the concepts of the Tailscale TUN MTU, MTUs of
underlying network interfaces, minimum "safe" TUN MTU, user configured

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

and we now use the standard SPDX-License-Identifier header.
This commit was done almost entirely mechanically with perl, and then

gofmt has kept the +build and go:build lines in sync since
then, but enough time has passed. Time to remove them.

Pull in the latest version of wireguard-windows.
Switch to upstream wireguard-go.
This requires reverting all of our import paths.
Unfortunately, this has to happen at the same time.
The wireguard-go change is very low risk,
as that commit matches our fork almost exactly.
(The only changes are import paths, CI files, and a go.mod entry.)
So if there are issues as a result of this commit,
the first place to look is wireguard-windows changes.

This is usually the same as the requested interface, but on some
unixes can vary based on device number allocation, and on Windows
it's the GUID instead of the pretty name, since everything relating
to configuration wants the GUID.
