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'

When using the resolve.conf file for setting DNS, it is possible that
some other services will trample the file and overwrite our set DNS
server. Experiments has shown this to be a racy error depending on how
quickly processes start.
Make an attempt to trample back the file a limited number of times if
the file is changed.

tsnet apps in particular never use the Linux DNS OSManagers, so they don't need
DBus, etc. I started to pull that all out into separate features so tsnet doesn't
need to bring in DBus, but hit this first.
Here you can see that tsnet (and the k8s-operator) no longer pulls in inotify.

Previously, if we had a umask set (e.g. 0027) that prevented creating a
world-readable file, /etc/resolv.conf would be created without the o+r
bit and thus other users may be unable to resolve DNS.
Since a umask only applies to file creation, chmod the file after
creation and before renaming it to ensure that it has the appropriate
permissions.

This fixes an infinite loop caused by the configuration of
systemd-resolved on Amazon Linux 2023 and how that interacts with
Tailscale's "direct" mode. We now drop the Tailscale service IP from the
OS's "base configuration" when we detect this configuration.

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.

Run an inotify goroutine and watch if another program takes over
/etc/inotify.conf. Log if so.
For now this only logs. In the future I want to wire it up into the
health system to warn (visible in "tailscale status", etc) about the
situation, with a short URL to more info about how you should really
be using systemd-resolved if you want programs to not fight over your
DNS files on Linux.

Currently, comments in resolv.conf cause our parser to fail,
with error messages like:

There are /etc/resolv.conf files out there where resolvconf wrote
the file but pointed to systemd-resolved as the nameserver.
We're better off handling those as systemd-resolved.
> # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
> # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
> # 127.0.0.53 is the systemd-resolved stub resolver.

In some containers, /etc/resolv.conf is a bind-mount from outside the container.
This prevents renaming to or from /etc/resolv.conf, because it's on a different
filesystem from linux's perspective. It also prevents removing /etc/resolv.conf,
because doing so would break the bind-mount.
If we find ourselves within this environment, fall back to using copy+delete when
renaming to /etc/resolv.conf, and copy+truncate when renaming from /etc/resolv.conf.

Reported on IRC: in an edge case, you can end up with a directManager DNS
manager and --accept-dns=false, in which case we should do nothing, but
actually end up restarting resolved whenever the netmap changes, even though
the user told us to not manage DNS.

We also have to make a one-off change to /etc/wsl.conf to stop every
invocation of wsl.exe clobbering the /etc/resolv.conf. This appears to
be a safe change to make permanently, as even though the resolv.conf is
constantly clobbered, it is always the same stable internal IP that is
set as a nameserver. (I believe the resolv.conf clobbering predates the
MS stub resolver.)
Tested on WSL2, should work for WSL1 too.

This is preliminary work for using the directManager as
part of a wslManager on windows, where in addition to configuring
windows we'll use wsl.exe to edit the linux file system and modify the
system resolv.conf.
The pinholeFS is a little funky, but it's designed to work through
simple unix tools via wsl.exe without invoking bash. I would not have
thought it would stand on its own like this, but it turns out it's
useful for writing a test for the directManager.
