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'

Most of the magicsock tests fake the network, simulating packets going
out and coming in. There's no reason to actually hit your router to do
UPnP/NAT-PMP/PCP during in tests. But while debugging thousands of
iterations of tests to deflake some things, I saw it slamming my
router. This stops that.

The panicLogWriter is too strict, and any panics that occur
get wrapped up in quotes. This makes it so that it will allow
panics to continue writing to Stderr without going through
logger.Logf.

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

This switches from using an atomic.Bool to a mutex for reasons that are
described in the commit, and should address the flakes that we're still
seeing.

Updates #2781 (might even fix it, but its real issue is that
SetPrivateKey starts a ReSTUN goroutines which then logs, and
that bug and data race existed prior to MemLogger existing)
If any goroutine continues to use the logger in TestLocalLogLines
after the test finishes, the test panics.
The culprit for this was wireguard-go; the previous commit fixed that.
This commit adds suspenders: When the test is done, make logging calls
into no-ops.

If a test calls log.Printf, 'go test' horrifyingly rearranges the
output to no longer be in chronological order, which makes debugging
virtually impossible. Let's stop that from happening by making
log.Printf panic if called from any module, no matter how deep, during
tests.
This required us to change the default error handler in at least one
http.Server, as well as plumbing a bunch of logf functions around,
especially in magicsock and wgengine, but also in logtail and backoff.
To add insult to injury, 'go test' also rearranges the output when a
parent test has multiple sub-tests (all the sub-test's t.Logf is always
printed after all the parent tests t.Logf), so we need to screw around
with a special Logf that can point at the "current" t (current_t.Logf)
in some places. Probably our entire way of using subtests is wrong,
since 'go test' would probably like to run them all in parallel if you
called t.Parallel(), but it definitely can't because the're all
manipulating the shared state created by the parent test. They should
probably all be separate toplevel tests instead, with common
setup/teardown logic. But that's a job for another time.
