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'

We now embed node information into network flow logs.
By default, netlogfmt still prints out using Tailscale IP addresses.
Support a "--resolve-addrs=TYPE" flag that can be used to specify
resolving IP addresses as node IDs, hostnames, users, or tags.

The cmpx.Compare function (and associated interface) are now available
in the standard library as cmp.Compare. Remove our version of it and use
the version from the standard library.

The log ID types were moved to a separate package so that
code that only depend on log ID types do not need to link
in the logic for the logtail client itself.
Not all code need the logtail client.

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

Make netlogfmt useful regardless of the exact schema of the input.
If a JSON object looks like a network log message,
then unmarshal it as one and then print it.
This allows netlogfmt to support both a stream of JSON objects
directly serialized from netlogtype.Message, or the schema
returned by the /api/v2/tailnet/{{tailnet}}/network-logs API endpoint.

The netlog.Message type is useful to depend on from other packages,
but doing so would transitively cause gvisor and other large packages
to be linked in.
Avoid this problem by moving all network logging types to a single package.
We also update staticcheck to take in:

This package parses a JSON stream of netlog.Message from os.Stdin
and pretty prints the contents as a stream of tables.
It supports reverse lookup of tailscale IP addresses if given
an API key and the tailnet that these traffic logs belong to.
