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'

The feature is currently in private alpha, so requires a tailnet feature
flag. Initially focuses on supporting the operator's own auth, because the
operator is the only device we maintain that uses static long-lived
credentials. All other operator-created devices use single-use auth keys.
Testing steps:
* Create a cluster with an API server accessible over public internet
* kubectl get --raw /.well-known/openid-configuration | jq '.issuer'
* Create a federated OAuth client in the Tailscale admin console with:
* The issuer from the previous step
* Subject claim `system:serviceaccount:tailscale:operator`
* Write scopes services, devices:core, auth_keys
* Tag tag:k8s-operator
* Allow the Tailscale control plane to get the public portion of
the ServiceAccount token signing key without authentication:
* kubectl create clusterrolebinding oidc-discovery \
--clusterrole=system:service-account-issuer-discovery \
--group=system:unauthenticated
* helm install --set oauth.clientId=... --set oauth.audience=...

Adds a new reconciler for ProxyGroups of type kube-apiserver that will
provision a Tailscale Service for each replica to advertise. Adds two
new condition types to the ProxyGroup, TailscaleServiceValid and
TailscaleServiceConfigured, to post updates on the state of that
reconciler in a way that's consistent with the service-pg reconciler.
The created Tailscale Service name is configurable via a new ProxyGroup
field spec.kubeAPISserver.ServiceName, which expects a string of the
form "svc:<dns-label>".
Lots of supporting changes were needed to implement this in a way that's
consistent with other operator workflows, including:
* Pulled containerboot's ensureServicesUnadvertised and certManager into
kube/ libraries to be shared with k8s-proxy. Use those in k8s-proxy to
aid Service cert sharing between replicas and graceful Service shutdown.
* For certManager, add an initial wait to the cert loop to wait until
the domain appears in the devices's netmap to avoid a guaranteed error
on the first issue attempt when it's quick to start.
* Made several methods in ingress-for-pg.go and svc-for-pg.go into
functions to share with the new reconciler
* Added a Resource struct to the owner refs stored in Tailscale Service
annotations to be able to distinguish between Ingress- and ProxyGroup-
based Services that need cleaning up in the Tailscale API.
* Added a ListVIPServices method to the internal tailscale client to aid
cleaning up orphaned Services
* Support for reading config from a kube Secret, and partial support for
config reloading, to prevent us having to force Pod restarts when
config changes.
* Fixed up the zap logger so it's possible to set debug log level.

This commit modifies the kubernetes operator to allow for customisation of the tailscale
login url. This provides some data locality for people that want to configure it.
This value is set in the `loginServer` helm value and is propagated down to all resources
managed by the operator. The only exception to this is recorder nodes, where additional
changes are required to support modifying the url.

Even after we remove the deprecated API, we will want to maintain a minimal
API for internal use, in order to avoid importing the external
tailscale.com/client/tailscale/v2 package. This shim exposes only the necessary
parts of the deprecated API for internal use, which gains us the following:
1. It removes deprecation warnings for internal use of the API.
2. It gives us an inventory of which parts we will want to keep for internal use.
