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 exports a number of things from the derp (generic + client) package
to be used by the new derpserver package, as now used by cmd/derper.
And then enough other misc changes to lock in that cmd/tailscaled can
be configured to not bring in tailscale.com/client/local. (The webclient
in particular, even when disabled, was bringing it in, so that's now fixed)

The caller of client.RunWatchConnectionLoop may need to be
aware of errors that occur within loop. Add a channel
that notifies of errors to the caller to allow for
decisions to be make as to the state of the client.

The --mesh-with flag now supports the specification of hostname tuples like
derp1a.tailscale.com/derp1a-vpc.tailscale.com, which instructs derp to mesh
with host 'derp1a.tailscale.com' but dial TCP connections to 'derp1a-vpc.tailscale.com'.
For backwards compatibility, --mesh-with still supports individual hostnames.
The logic which attempts to auto-discover '[host]-vpc.tailscale.com' dial hosts
has been removed.

PeerPresentFlags was added in 5ffb2668ef but wasn't plumbed through to
the RunConnectionLoop. Rather than add yet another parameter (as
IP:port was added earlier), pass in the raw PeerPresentMessage and
PeerGoneMessage struct values, which are the same things, plus two
fields: PeerGoneReasonType for gone and the PeerPresentFlags from
5ffb2668ef.

The goal is to move more network state accessors to netmon.Monitor
where they can be cheaper/cached. But first (this change and others)
we need to make sure the one netmon.Monitor is plumbed everywhere.
Some notable bits:
* tsdial.NewDialer is added, taking a now-required netmon
* because a tsdial.Dialer always has a netmon, anything taking both
a Dialer and a NetMon is now redundant; take only the Dialer and
get the NetMon from that if/when needed.
* netmon.NewStatic is added, primarily for tests

The derphttp client automatically reconnects upon failure.
RunWatchConnectionLoop called derphttp.Client.WatchConnectionChanges
once, but that wrapper method called the underlying
derp.Client.WatchConnectionChanges exactly once on derphttp.Client's
currently active connection. If there's a failure, we need to re-subscribe
upon all reconnections.
This removes the derphttp.Client.WatchConnectionChanges method, which
was basically impossible to use correctly, and changes it to be a
boolean field on derphttp.Client alongside MeshKey and IsProber. Then
it moves the call to the underlying derp.Client.WatchConnectionChanges
to derphttp's client connection code, so it's resubscribed on any
reconnect.
Some paranoia is then added to make sure people hold the API right,
not calling derphttp.Client.RunWatchConnectionLoop on an
already-started Client without having set the bool to true. (But still
auto-setting it to true if that's the first method that's been called
on that derphttp.Client, as is commonly the case, and prevents
existing code from breaking)

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.

The remove hook implementation was copy/pasted from the line above and
I didn't change the body, resulting in packet forwarding routes never
being removed.
Fortunately we weren't using this path yet, but it led to stats being
off, and (very) slow memory growth.
The magicsock derpReader was holding onto 65KB for each DERP
connection forever, just in case.
Make the derp{,http}.Client be in charge of memory instead. It can
reuse its bufio.Reader buffer space.
