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)

During a short period of packet loss, a TCP connection to the home DERP
may be maintained. If no other regions emerge as winners, such as when
all regions but one are avoided/disallowed as candidates, ensure that
the current home region, if still active, is not dropped as the
preferred region until it has failed two keepalives.
Relatedly apply avoid and no measure no home to ICMP and HTTP checks as
intended.

Remove "unexpected" labelling of PeerGoneReasonNotHere.
A peer being no longer connected to a DERP server
is not an unexpected case and causes confusion in looking at logs.

In f77821fd63 (released in v1.72.0), we made the client tell a DERP server
when the connection was not its ideal choice (the first node in its region).
But we didn't do anything with that information until now. This adds a
metric about how many such connections are on a given derper, and also
adds a bit to the PeerPresentFlags bitmask so watchers can identify
(and rebalance) them.

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.

This updates all source files to use a new standard header for copyright

and we now use the standard SPDX-License-Identifier header.

It just has a version number in it and it's not really needed.
Instead just return it as a normal Recv message type for those
that care (currently only tests).
Updates #150 (in that it shares the same goal: initial DERP latency)
Updates #199 (in that it removes some DERP versioning)
For various reasons (mostly during rollouts or config changes on our
side), nodes may end up connecting to a fallback DERP node in a
region, rather than the primary one we tell them about in the DERP
map.
Connecting to the "wrong" node is fine, but it's in our best interest
for all nodes in a domain to connect to the same node, to reduce
intra-region packet forwarding.
This adds a privileged frame type used by the control system that can
kick off a client connection when they're connected to the wrong node
in a region. Then they hopefully reconnect immediately to the correct
location. (If not, we can leave them alone and stop closing them.)
Updates tailscale/corp#372
This lets a trusted DERP client that knows a pre-shared key subscribe
to the connection list. Upon subscribing, they get the current set
of connected public keys, and then all changes over time.
This lets a set of DERP server peers within a region all stay connected to
each other and know which clients are connected to which nodes.
