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'

In the recent 20e9f3369 we made HealthChangeRequest machine requests
include a NodeKey, as it was the oddball machine request that didn't
include one. Unfortunately, that code was sometimes being called (at
least in some of our integration tests) without a node key due to its
registration with health.RegisterWatcher(direct.ReportHealthChange).
Fortunately tests in corp caught this before we cut a release. It's
possible this only affects this particular integration test's
environment, but still worth fixing.

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.

Requires a lot of API changes to fix so rolling back instead of
forward.

We would end up with duplicate profiles for the node as the UserID
would have chnaged. In order to correctly deduplicate profiles, we
need to look at both the UserID and the NodeID. A single machine can
only ever have 1 profile per NodeID and 1 profile per UserID.
Note: UserID of a Node can change when the node is tagged/untagged,
and the NodeID of a device can change when the node is deleted so we
need to check for both.

This moves the NetworkLock key from a dedicated StateKey to be part of the persist.Persist struct.
This struct is stored as part for ipn.Prefs and is also the place where we store the NodeKey.
It also moves the ChonkDir from "/tka" to "/tka-profile/<profile-id>". The rename was intentional
to be able to delete the "/tka" dir if it exists.
This means that we will have a unique key per profile, and a unique directory per profile.
Note: `tailscale logout` will delete the entire profile, including any keys. It currently does not
delete the ChonkDir.

ControlPrivate is just a MachinePrivate that serializes differently

historically serialized its private key.

This one alone doesn't modify the global dependency map much
(depaware.txt if anything looks slightly worse), but it leave
controlclient as only containing NetworkMap:
bradfitz@tsdev:~/src/tailscale.com/ipn$ grep -F "controlclient." *.go
backend.go: NetMap *controlclient.NetworkMap // new netmap received
fake_test.go: b.notify(Notify{NetMap: &controlclient.NetworkMap{}})
fake_test.go: b.notify(Notify{NetMap: &controlclient.NetworkMap{}})
handle.go: netmapCache *controlclient.NetworkMap
handle.go:func (h *Handle) NetMap() *controlclient.NetworkMap {
Once that goes into a leaf package, then ipn doesn't depend on
controlclient at all, and then the client gets smaller.
