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'

fixestailscale/tailscale#18418
Both Serve and PeerAPI broke when we moved the TailscaleInterfaceName
into State, which is updated asynchronously and may not be
available when we configure the listeners.
This extracts the explicit interface name property from netmon.State
and adds as a static struct with getters that have proper error
handling.
The bug is only found in sandboxed Darwin clients, where we
need to know the Tailscale interface details in order to set up the
listeners correctly (they must bind to our interface explicitly to escape
the network sandboxing that is applied by NECP).
Currently set only sandboxed macOS and Plan9 set this but it will
also be useful on Windows to simplify interface filtering in netns.

updates tailscale/corp#33891
Addresses several older the TODO's in netmon. This removes the
Major flag precomputes the ChangeDelta state, rather than making
consumers of ChangeDeltas sort that out themselves. We're also seeing
a lot of ChangeDelta's being flagged as "Major" when they are
not interesting, triggering rebinds in wgengine that are not needed. This
cleans that up and adds a host of additional tests.
The dependencies are cleaned, notably removing dependency on netmon
itself for calculating what is interesting, and what is not. This includes letting
individual platforms set a bespoke global "IsInterestingInterface"
function. This is only used on Darwin.
RebindRequired now roughly follows how "Major" was historically
calculated but includes some additional checks for various
uninteresting events such as changes in interface addresses that
shouldn't trigger a rebind. This significantly reduces thrashing (by
roughly half on Darwin clients which switching between nics). The individual
values that we roll into RebindRequired are also exposed so that
components consuming netmap.ChangeDelta can ask more
targeted questions.

But I want to in the future.

In prep for most of the package funcs in net/interfaces to become
methods in a long-lived netmon.Monitor that can cache things. (Many
of the funcs are very heavy to call regularly, whereas the long-lived
netmon.Monitor can subscribe to things from the OS and remember
answers to questions it's asked regularly later)

The goal is to move more network state accessors to netmon.Monitor
where they can be cheaper/cached. But first (this change and others)
we need to make sure the one netmon.Monitor is plumbed everywhere.
Some notable bits:
* tsdial.NewDialer is added, taking a now-required netmon
* because a tsdial.Dialer always has a netmon, anything taking both
a Dialer and a NetMon is now redundant; take only the Dialer and
get the NetMon from that if/when needed.
* netmon.NewStatic is added, primarily for tests

When the portable Monitor creates a winMon via newOSMon, we register
address and route change callbacks with Windows. Once a callback is hit,
it starts a goroutine that attempts to send the event into messagec and returns.
The newly started goroutine then blocks until it can send to the channel.
However, if the monitor is never started and winMon.Receive is never called,
the goroutines remain indefinitely blocked, leading to goroutine leaks and
significant memory consumption in the tailscaled service process on Windows.
Unlike the tailscaled subprocess, the service process creates but never starts
a Monitor.
This PR adds a check within the callbacks to confirm the monitor's active status,
and exits immediately if the monitor hasn't started.

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 simplifies some netmon code in prep for other changes.
It breaks up Monitor.debounce into a helper method so locking is
easier to read and things unindent, and then it simplifies the polling
netmon implementation to remove the redundant stuff that the caller
(the Monitor.debounce loop) was already basically doing.

We're using it in more and more places, and it's not really specific to
our use of Wireguard (and does more just link/interface monitoring).
Also removes the separate interface we had for it in sockstats -- it's
a small enough package (we already pull in all of its dependencies
via other paths) that it's not worth the extra complexity.
