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'

RELNOTE=Fix CSRF errors in the client Web UI
Replace gorilla/csrf with a Sec-Fetch-Site based CSRF protection
middleware that falls back to comparing the Host & Origin headers if no
SFS value is passed by the client.
Add an -origin override to the web CLI that allows callers to specify
the origin at which the web UI will be available if it is hosted behind
a reverse proxy or within another application via CGI.

Add an endpoint for logging the device detail click metric to allow for
this metric to be logged without having a valid session which is the
case when in readonly mode.

This commit makes some restructural changes to how we handle api
posting from the web client frontend.
Now that we're using SWR, we have less of a need for hooks like
useNodeData that return a useSWR response alongside some mutation
callbacks. SWR makes it easy to mutate throughout the UI without
needing access to the original data state in order to reflect
updates. So, we can fetch data without having to tie it to post
callbacks that have to be passed around through components.
In an effort to consolidate our posting endpoints, and make it
easier to add more api handlers cleanly in the future, this change
introduces a new `useAPI` hook that returns a single `api` callback
that can make any changes from any component in the UI. The hook
itself handles using SWR to mutate the relevant data keys, which
get globally reflected throughout the UI.
As a concurrent cleanup, node types are also moved to their own
types.ts file, to consolidate data types across the app.

Add metric logging logic for the web client frontend. This is an initial
pass of adding the base logic, plus a single point where it is used for
validation that the logging is working correctly. More metric logging
calls will follow in subsquent PRs.

Enforcing inclusion of our OSS license at the top of .ts and .tsx
files. Also updates any relevant files in the repo that were
previously missing the license comment. An additional `@license`
comment is added to client/web/src/index.tsx to preserve the
license in generated Javascript.

When the /api/auth response indicates that synology auth is needed,

We already had a path on the web client server struct, but hadn't
plumbed it through to the CLI. Add that now and use it for Synology and
QNAP instead of hard-coding the path. (Adding flag for QNAP is
tailscale/tailscale-qpkg#112) This will allow supporting other
environments (like unraid) without additional changes to the client/web
package.
Also fix a small bug in unraid handling to only include the csrf token
on POST requests.
