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'

I noticed we were allocating these every time when they could just
share the same memory. Rather than document ownership, just lock it
down with a view.
I was considering doing all of the fields but decided to just do this
one first as test to see how infectious it became. Conclusion: not
very.

This moves NewContainsIPFunc from tsaddr to new ipset package.
And wgengine/filter types gets split into wgengine/filter/filtertype,
so netmap (and thus the CLI, etc) doesn't need to bring in ipset,
bart, etc.
Then add a test making sure the CLI deps don't regress.

NewContainsIPFunc returns a contains matcher optimized for its
input. Use that instead of what this did before, always doing a test
over each of a list of netip.Prefixes.

Define PeerCapabilty and PeerCapMap as the new way of sending down
inter-peer capability information.
Previously, this was unstructured and you could only send down strings
which got too limiting for certain usecases. Instead add the ability
to send down raw JSON messages that are opaque to Tailscale but provide
the applications to define them however they wish.
Also update accessors to use the new values.

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

Profiling identified this as a fairly hot path for growing a slice.
Given this is only used in control & when a new packet filter is received, this shouldnt be hot in the client.
Add proto to flowtrack.Tuple.
Add types/ipproto leaf package to break a cycle.
Server-side ACL work remains.
