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'

The dnstype package is used by tailcfg, which tries to be light and
leafy. But it brings in dnstype. So dnstype shouldn't bring in
x/net/dns/dnsmessage.

Extract field comments from AST and include them in generated view
methods. Comments are preserved from the original struct fields to

dnstype.Resolver adds a boolean UseWithExitNode that controls
whether the resolver should be used in tailscale exit node contexts
(not wireguard exit nodes). If UseWithExitNode resolvers are found,
they are installed as the global resolvers. If no UseWithExitNode resolvers
are found, the exit node resolver continues to be installed as the global
resolver. Split DNS Routes referencing UseWithExitNode resolvers are also
installed.

This adds support for having every viewer type implement
jsonv2.MarshalerTo and jsonv2.UnmarshalerFrom.
This provides a significant boost in performance
as the json package no longer needs to validate
the entirety of the JSON value outputted by MarshalJSON,
nor does it need to identify the boundaries of a JSON value
in order to call UnmarshalJSON.
For deeply nested and recursive MarshalJSON or UnmarshalJSON calls,
this can improve runtime from O(N²) to O(N).
This still references "github.com/go-json-experiment/json"
instead of the experimental "encoding/json/v2" package
now available in Go 1.25 under goexperiment.jsonv2
so that code still builds without the experiment tag.
Of note, the "github.com/go-json-experiment/json" package
aliases the standard library under the right build conditions.

Tailscale exit nodes provide DNS service over the peer API, however
IsWireGuardOnly nodes do not have a peer API, and instead need client
DNS parameters passed in their node description.
For Mullvad nodes this will contain the in network 10.64.0.1 address.

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.

Two changes in one:
* make DoH upgrades an explicitly scheduled send earlier, when we come
up with the resolvers-and-delay send plan. Previously we were
getting e.g. four Google DNS IPs and then spreading them out in
time (for back when we only did UDP) but then later we added DoH
upgrading at the UDP packet layer, which resulted in sometimes
multiple DoH queries to the same provider running (each doing happy
eyeballs dialing to 4x IPs themselves) for each of the 4 source IPs.
Instead, take those 4 Google/Cloudflare IPs and schedule 5 things:
first the DoH query (which can use all 4 IPs), and then each of the
4 IPs as UDP later.
* clean up the dnstype.Resolver.Addr confusion; half the code was
using it as an IP string (as documented) as half was using it as
an IP:port (from some prior type we used), primarily for tests.
Instead, document it was being primarily an IP string but also
accepting an IP:port for tests, then add an accessor method on it
to get the IPPort and use that consistently everywhere.

The "go generate" command blindly looks for "//go:generate" anywhere
in the file regardless of whether it is truly a comment.
Prevent this false positive in cloner.go by mangling the string
to look less like "//go:generate".

Spelling out the command to run for every type
means that changing the command makes for a large, repetitive diff.
Stop doing that.

We currently plumb full URLs for DNS resolvers from the control server
down to the client. But when we pass the values into the net/dns
package, we throw away any URL that isn't a bare IP. This commit
continues the plumbing, and gets the URL all the way to the built in
forwarder. (It stops before plumbing URLs into the OS configurations
that can handle them.)
