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'

Otherwise all the clients only using control/controlhttp for the
ts2021 HTTP client were also pulling in WebSocket libraries, as the
server side always needs to speak websockets, but only GOOS=js clients
speak it.
This doesn't yet totally remove the websocket dependency on Linux because
Linux has a envknob opt-in to act like GOOS=js for manual testing and force
the use of WebSockets for DERP only (not control). We can put that behind
a build tag in a future change to eliminate the dep on all GOOSes.

Coder has just adopted nhooyr/websocket which unfortunately changes the import path.
`github.com/coder/coder` imports `tailscale.com/net/wsconn` which was still pointing
to `nhooyr.io/websocket`, but this change updates it.

This makes wsconn.Conns somewhat present reasonably when they are
the client of an http.Request, rather than just put a placeholder
in that field.

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.

New plan for #5972. Instead of sending the public key in the clear
(from earlier unreleased 246274b8e9) where the client might have to
worry about it being dropped or tampered with and retrying, we'll
instead send it post-Noise handshake but before the HTTP/2 connection
begins.
This replaces the earlier extraHeaders hook with a different sort of
hook that allows us to combine two writes on the wire in one packet.

We removed it in #4806 in favor of the built-in functionality from the
nhooyr.io/websocket package. However, it has an issue with deadlines
that has not been fixed yet (see nhooyr/websocket#350). Temporarily
go back to using a custom wrapper (using the fix from our fork) so that
derpers will stop closing connections too aggressively.

The data that we send over WebSockets is encrypted and thus not
compressible. Additionally, Safari has a broken implementation of compression
(see nhooyr/websocket#218) that makes enabling it actively harmful.

We can't do Noise-over-HTTP in Wasm/JS (because we don't have bidirectional
communication), but we should be able to do it over WebSockets. Reuses
derp WebSocket support that allows us to turn a WebSocket connection
into a net.Conn.
Updates #3157

Doing so makes development unpleasant, because we have to first break the
client by bumping to a version the control server rejects, then upgrade
the control server to make it accept the new version.
This strict rejection at handshake time is only necessary if we want to
blocklist some vulnerable protocol versions in the future. So, switch
to a default-permissive stance: until we have such a version that we
have to eagerly block early, we'll accept whatever version the client
presents, and leave it to the user of controlbase.Conn to make decisions
based on that version.
Noise still enforces that the client and server *agree* on what protocol
version is being used, and the control server still has the option to
finish the handshake and then hang up with an in-noise error, rather
than abort at the handshake level.

This is so that we can plumb our client capability version through
the protocol as the Noise version. The capability version increments
more frequently than strictly required (the Noise version only needs
to change when cryptographically-significant changes are made to
the protocol, whereas the capability version also indicates changes
in non-cryptographically-significant parts of the protocol), but this
gives us a safe pre-auth way to determine if the client supports
future protocol features, while still relying on Noise's strong
assurance that the client and server have agreed on the same version.
Currently, the server executes the same protocol regardless of the
version number, and just presents the version to the caller so they
can do capability-based things in the upper RPC protocol. In future,
we may add a ratchet to disallow obsolete protocols, or vary the
Noise handshake behavior based on requested version.
