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'

cmd/containerboot,cmd/k8s-operator: enable IPv6 for fqdn egress proxies
Don't skip installing egress forwarding rules for IPv6 (as long as the host
supports IPv6), and set headless services `ipFamilyPolicy` to
`PreferDualStack` to optionally enable both IP families when possible. Note
that even with `PreferDualStack` set, testing a dual-stack GKE cluster with
the default DNS setup of kube-dns did not correctly set both A and
AAAA records for the headless service, and instead only did so when
switching the cluster DNS to Cloud DNS. For both IPv4 and IPv6 to work
simultaneously in a dual-stack cluster, we require headless services to
return both A and AAAA records.
If the host doesn't support IPv6 but the FQDN specified only has IPv6
addresses available, containerboot will exit with error code 1 and an
error message because there is no viable egress route.
Fixes#12215
Signed-off-by: Tom Proctor <tomhjp@users.noreply.github.com>
We have hosts that support IPv6, but not IPv6 firewall configuration
in iptables mode.
We also have hosts that have some support for IPv6 firewall
configuration in iptables mode, but do not have iptables filter table.
We should:
- configure ip rules for all hosts that support IPv6
- only configure firewall rules in iptables mode if the host
has iptables filter table.

This allows using the fake runner in different packages
that need to manage filter rules.
