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'

This also adds an IncrementGauge method to local client to parallel
IncrementCounter. The LocalAPI handler supports both, we've just never
added a client method for gauges.

Add the golang-image-ico package, which is an incredibly small package
to handle the ICO container format with PNG inside. Some profile photos
look quite pixelated when displayed at this size, but it's better than
nothing, and any Windows support is just a bonus anyway.

When LocalAPI returns an AccessDeniedError, display a message in the
menu and hide or disable most other menu items. This currently includes
a placeholder KB link which I'll update if we end up using something
different.
I debated whether to change the app icon to indicate an error, but opted
not to since there is actually nothing wrong with the client itself and
Tailscale will continue to function normally. It's just that the systray
app itself is in a read-only state.

Importing the ~deprecated golang.org/x/exp/maps as "xmaps" to not
shadow the std "maps" was getting ugly.
And using slices.Collect on an iterator is verbose & allocates more.
So copy (x)maps.Keys+Values into our slicesx package instead.

On Linux, systray.SetTitle actually seems to set the tooltip on all
desktops I've tested on. But on macOS, it actually does set a title
that is always displayed in the systray area next to the icon. This
change should properly set the tooltip across platforms.

Move a number of global state vars into the Menu struct, keeping things
better encapsulated. The systray package still relies on its own global
state, so only a single Menu instance can run at a time.
Move a lot of the initialization logic out of onReady, in particular
fetching the latest tailscale state. Instead, populate the state before
calling systray.Run, which fixes a timing issue in GNOME (#14477).
This change also creates a separate bgContext for actions not tied menu
item clicks. Because we have to rebuild the entire menu regularly, we
cancel that context as needed, which can cancel subsequent updateState
calls.
Also exit cleanly on SIGINT and SIGTERM.

This commit builds the exit node menu including the recommended exit
node, if available, as well as tailnet and mullvad exit nodes.
This does not yet update the menu based on changes in exit node outside
of the systray app, which will come later. This also does not include
the ability to run as an exit node.

The new menu delay added to fix libdbusmenu systrays causes problems

Bring UI closer to macOS and windows:
- split login and tailnet name over separate lines
- render profile picture (with very simple caching)
- use checkbox to indicate active profile. I've not found any desktops
that can't render checkboxes, so I'd like to explore other options
if needed.

When tailscaled restarts and our watch connection goes down, we get
stuck in an infinite loop printing `ipnbus error: EOF` (which ended up
consuming all the disk space on my laptop via the log file). Instead,
handle errors in `watchIPNBus` and reconnect after a short delay.

Otherwise you get "Access denied: watch IPN bus access denied, must
set ipn.NotifyNoPrivateKeys when not running as admin/root or
operator".
This lets a non-operator at least start the app and see the status, even
if they can't change everything. (the web UI is unaffected by operator)
A future change can add a LocalAPI call to check permissions and guide
people through adding a user as an operator (perhaps the web client
can do that?)

This adds a systray app for linux, similar to the apps for macOS and
windows. There are already a number of community-developed systray apps,
but most of them are either long abandoned, are built for a specific
desktop environment, or simply wrap the tailscale CLI.
This uses fyne.io/systray (a fork of github.com/getlantern/systray)
which uses newer D-Bus specifications to render the tray icon and menu.
This results in a pretty broad support for modern desktop environments.
This initial commit lacks a number of features like profile switching,
device listing, and exit node selection. This is really focused on the
application structure, the interaction with LocalAPI, and some system
integration pieces like the app icon, notifications, and the clipboard.
