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'

If conffile is used to configure tailscaled, always update
currently advertised services from conffile, even if they
are empty in the conffile, to ensure that it is possible
to transition to a state where no services are advertised.

Make it possible to advertise app connector via a new conffile field.
Also bumps capver - conffile deserialization errors out if unknonw
fields are set, so we need to know which clients understand the new field.

wgengine/magicsock,ipn: allow setting static node endpoints via tailscaled config file.
Adds a new StaticEndpoints field to tailscaled config
that can be used to statically configure the endpoints
that the node advertizes. This field will replace
TS_DEBUG_PRETENDPOINTS env var that can be used to achieve the same.
Additionally adds some functionality that ensures that endpoints
are updated when configfile is reloaded.
Also, refactor configuring/reconfiguring components to use the
same functionality when configfile is parsed the first time or
subsequent times (after reload). Previously a configfile reload
did not result in resetting of prefs. Now it does- but does not yet
tell the relevant components to consume the new prefs. This is to
be done in a follow-up.

Turn off stateful filtering for egress proxies to allow cluster
traffic to be forwarded to tailnet.
Allow configuring stateful filter via tailscaled config file.
Deprecate EXPERIMENTAL_TS_CONFIGFILE_PATH env var and introduce a new
TS_EXPERIMENTAL_VERSIONED_CONFIG env var that can be used to provide
containerboot a directory that should contain one or more
tailscaled config files named cap-<tailscaled-cap-version>.hujson.
Containerboot will pick the one with the newest capability version
that is not newer than its current capability version.
Proxies with this change will not work with older Tailscale
Kubernetes operator versions - users must ensure that
the deployed operator is at the same version or newer (up to
4 version skew) than the proxies.

Some fields if `ipn.Prefs` are structs. `ipn.MaskedPrefs` has a single
level of boolean `*Set` flags, which doesn't map well to nested structs
within `ipn.Prefs`.
Change `MaskedPrefs` and `ApplyEdits` to support `FooSet` struct fields
that map to a nested struct of `ipn.Prefs` like `AutoUpdates`. Each
struct field in `MaskedPrefs` is just a bundle of more `Set` bool fields
or other structs. This allows you to have a `Set` flag for any
arbitrarily-nested field of `ipn.Prefs`.
Also, make `ApplyEdits` match fields between `Prefs` and `MaskedPrefs`
by name instead of order, to make it a bit less finicky. It's probably
slower but `ipn.ApplyEdits` should not be in any hot path.
As a result, `AutoUpdate.Check` and `AutoUpdate.Apply` fields don't
clobber each other when set individually.

This is not currently exposed as a user-settable preference through
`tailscale up` or `tailscale set`. Instead, the preference is set when
turning the web client on and off via localapi. In a subsequent commit,
the pref will be used to automatically start the web client on startup
when appropriate.
