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'

Re-instates the functionality that generates CRD API docs, but using
a different library as the one we were using earlier seemed to have
some issues with its Git history.
Also regenerates the docs (make kube-generate-all).

Remove fybrik.io/crdoc dependency as it is causing issues for folks attempting
to vendor tailscale using GOPROXY=direct.
This means that the CRD API docs in ./k8s-operator/api.md will no longer
be generated- I am going to look at replacing it with another tool
in a follow-up.

Add logic to autogenerate CRD docs.
.github/workflows/kubemanifests.yaml CI workflow will fail if the doc is out of date with regard to the current CRDs.
Docs can be refreshed by running make kube-generate-all.

* k8s-operator,cmd/k8s-operator,Makefile,scripts,.github/workflows: add Connector kube CRD.
Connector CRD allows users to configure the Tailscale Kubernetes operator
to deploy a subnet router to expose cluster CIDRs or
other CIDRs available from within the cluster
to their tailnet.
Also adds various CRD related machinery to
generate CRD YAML, deep copy implementations etc.
Engineers will now have to run
'make kube-generate-all` after changing kube files
to ensure that all generated files are up to date.
* cmd/k8s-operator,k8s-operator: reconcile Connector resources
Reconcile Connector resources, create/delete subnetrouter resources in response to changes to Connector(s).
Connector reconciler will not be started unless
ENABLE_CONNECTOR env var is set to true.
This means that users who don't want to use the alpha
Connector custom resource don't have to install the Connector
CRD to their cluster.
For users who do want to use it the flow is:
- install the CRD
- install the operator (via Helm chart or using static manifests).
For Helm users set .values.enableConnector to true, for static
manifest users, set ENABLE_CONNECTOR to true in the static manifest.
Updates tailscale/tailscale#502

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
Signed-off-by: Will Norris <will@tailscale.com>
The //go:build syntax was introduced in Go 1.17:
https://go.dev/doc/go1.17#build-lines
gofmt has kept the +build and go:build lines in sync since
then, but enough time has passed. Time to remove them.
Done with:
perl -i -npe 's,^// \+build.*\n,,' $(git grep -l -F '+build')
