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 removes a lot of API from net/interfaces (including all the
filter types, EqualFiltered, active Tailscale interface func, etc) and
moves the "major" change detection to net/netmon which knows more
about the world and the previous/new states.

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

The //go:build syntax was introduced in Go 1.17:
https://go.dev/doc/go1.17#build-lines
gofmt has kept the +build and go:build lines in sync since
then, but enough time has passed. Time to remove them.
Done with:
perl -i -npe 's,^// \+build.*\n,,' $(git grep -l -F '+build')

This reverts commit 7d16c8228bcf70a3b82afe994e8c5fa42057c5f3.
I have no idea how I ended up here. The bug I was fixing with this change
fails to reproduce on Ubuntu 18.04 now, and this change definitely does
break 20.04, 20.10, and Debian Buster. So, until we can reliably reproduce
the problem this was meant to fix, reverting.

It seems that all the setups that support split DNS understand
this distinction, and it's an important one when translating

wgengine/router.CallbackRouter needs to support both the Router
and OSConfigurator interfaces, so the setters can't both be called
Set.

They need some rework to do the right thing, in the meantime the direct
and resolvconf managers will work out.
The resolved implementation was never selected due to control-side settings.
The networkmanager implementation mostly doesn't get selected due to
unforeseen interactions with `resolvconf` on many platforms.
Both implementations also need rework to support the various routing modes
they're capable of.
